How we filter
Every feed has its own filter, tuned by hand for this one game. Before any change goes live, those filters are tested against thousands of real eBay listing titles. Every night, each feed is checked against every other deal page in its category, so a listing for a different game that slips in gets flagged and fixed instead of quietly shown.
Of the 147 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 108 of 147 (~73%) for quality reasons. The remaining 39 are what we'd actually surface.
- 92 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 8 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 3 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 2 seller positive-feedback percentage too low
- 1 priced below our floor (too good to be true)
- 1 shipped from a region we exclude
- 1 wrong condition (e.g. parts-only)
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Ninja Gaiden II (NES) returns far more than the game itself: controllers, T-shirts, strategy guides, imports and repro carts all mention it in their titles. These are the 101 terms we filter out to keep this feed to the real thing. A listing whose title contains any of them never reaches the feed, the price table or an alert. Many look unrelated to Ninja Gaiden II (NES) because they are: that's the noise.

Ninja Gaiden II: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release & save: The US NES release is Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos, from 1990. The cartridge has no save feature, so there is no save battery to replace.
- Product code: Check that the product code on the label matches the US release. "NTSC-U/C" in a title means US/Canada, which is the region you want.
- Print variants: Sellers mention different label and box prints. Ask for clear photos of the label and box before paying extra, and don't take a "rare print" claim on the seller's word alone.
- Sold under the same title: sellers write the game as "Ninja Gaiden 2" or "II", and the first game, Ninja Gaiden, is a separate cartridge with its own prices. Check the label in the photos, not just the headline.
- Not the cartridge: instruction manuals, Nintendo Power strategy guides and loose inserts are listed under this title. Confirm the cartridge is actually included, and ask for photos of anything sold as "complete".
Buying NES games: what to check by condition
These checks apply to every NES cartridge. The item notes above cover what is specific to this game.
Loose
- Compare the label, shell color and front/back markings against a photo of a known-authentic cart. Repro labels are often glossier, blurrier or slightly off-color.
- Ask for a photo of the board or the back of the cart. An opened shell is not automatically bad (battery swaps are normal), but it should be disclosed.
- If the game saves to a battery, ask whether the save holds. Old save batteries fail with age regardless of what the listing says, so budget for a replacement.
CIB (complete in box)
- Confirm the box, manual and inner tray or insert are all shown in the photos, not just listed in the title.
- Check that the box and manual are the same region and print as the cart. Mixed-and-matched "complete" copies are common.
- Box wear (crushing, tears, sticker residue) moves price far more than the cart does. Judge it from photos, not from the word "mint".
Sealed & graded
- For a graded copy, look the certification number up on the grading company's own site and confirm the photos match the slab you are buying.
- For an ungraded sealed copy, compare the wrap and seal pattern against a known factory-sealed example. Resealing is common, and a reseal on a loose game is worth a loose price.
- Ask for photos of every side, the seams and any price stickers. Refusing extra photos on a sealed listing is a red flag on its own.
