Has anyone ordered NES Game Manuals from the Nintendo Online store.  It says they may be photocopies, so I'm wonderng what your experience is, whether you have received the actual original manuals or just photocopies?

don't waste your time or money.  They are all photocopies. I bought a few and was very disappoited with them, plus it took them forever to get here.

I saw one for Super Mario RPG before that came from Nintendo's website.  It was photocopied, but I was surprised how high the quality of the copy was.  Each page was a laser jet print in full color.  However, it was not stapled together at all in the form of a manual, it was only loose pages, paperclipped together.

I wouldn't waste my money.

You can get better quality photocopies from NintendoAGE and Vimm.net.  Although the originals are always your best bet.

they suck I rdered the maps , manuals for DW 2 3 4 and FF to only get photocopies  :'(

seriously, what were you expecting after so many years? :-)

I was expecting photocopies, which is why I asked.  :)  I figured it was worth a shot though just in case.  It would be great to get my hands on Final Fantasy & Dragon Warrior manuals for $1.99!

You can call and ask. Several years ago I ordered a bunch. They had originals of DKjr Math and a couple others but many were copies as they ran out of originals. At $1 each (I think) it was $10 well spent. :)
