Description
This is an original Mortal Kombat II game cartridge for the SNES. It features the iconic Midway/Acclaim branding and the official Nintendo Seal of Quality. Produced in Japan, model SNS-2B-USA. This title is widely considered the best arcade-to-home port of the era, famous for including the 'blood' and fatalities missing from the SNES port of the first game.
Key Features
Huge nostalgia factor, high-quality arcade port, iconic 90s gaming title, 'Player's Choice' level demand, and robust mechanical build that usually still works after 30 years.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. Indicators include the correct GameBit (security) screws, 'Made in Japan' stamping, correct font kerning on the Nintendo seal, and the specific 'SNS-2B-USA' product code. The plastic texture is consistent with 1990s Nintendo hardware.
Flaws to Note
Oxidation on the GameBit screws (metal heads showing rust), minor labeling peeling on the top edge, and general surface micro-scratching on the plastic shell.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for reaching collectors. Mercari or Facebook Marketplace are excellent for local sales or lower-fee shipping options.
Selling Tips
Clean the contacts with 90%+ Isopropyl alcohol and a Q-tip before testing. Use 'SNES', 'Authentic', and 'Cleaned & Tested' in the title. Take a photo of the game running on a TV screen if possible, as this significantly increases buyer trust and final sale price.
