The Nintendo posters don’t seem to be reproductions though I could be wrong. The fact that the don’t look “smuged” and that Konami looks proper gives a hint. Also the fact that this user had to phone in Nintendo Of America, get permission to reprint, and actually reprint them is slim. I don’t believe NofA would grant him the permission to reprint old titles such as those, and if he did then he could be in a lot of trouble. Also the cost of reprinting them on high quality paper along with the “color ink” totals more than $50. Selling the posters at $9.99 doesn’t justify his operations. My two cents .
this guy has “unreleased” genesis games. look like pirates to me. they CIB too

No, they’re legit releases. Balloon Boy/Funny World, Earth Defense Force and Whac-A-Mole are all ‘unlicensed’ Genesis titles. None of them are really that hard to come by as Funcostop got a metric ton of them a year or two before they stopped carrying Genesis. The rare item is the Whac-A-Mole controller, a nine button controller.
I remember seeing the order form for these posters in an old issue of Nintendo Fun Club News I believe. or it may have been on the reverse of a Konami flyer. I do recall seeing them though.
That being said… there is always the possibility that they are reprints. I am seeing many online printing deals for large poster size prints from your jpgs so who really knows?

You know, I was wondering why when I tried out Whac-A-Critter that it was almost impossible for me to hit anything….
