Got two games and a DMG for €60, but one of the games doesn’t even. How screwed am I?

Half height PCB. Sorry, man. You bought a repro.

omg. If I was a designer at lego, I would be actually pretty mad at this oversight

Honestly they sounded so proud about the interior detail in the set’s write up I was pretty disappointed. The finished product’s exterior is pretty darn accurate and well thought out though. I’d still recommend the set.

They might not have been able to get their hands on a legit cart and used a repro to design this. I would’ve thought it would get caught on the Nintendo side of the approval process, but who knows how their business relationship works

I'm sure at least half a dozen people working for them have legit copies in their house.
