JohnnyBlaze Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Speaking of bootlegs in controllers, I remember that during Christmas time, Walgreens around here(NJ) were advertising these items in their circulars and in the stores. It's funny that a national chain would take a risk like that since it is illegal. Wow. That's by far the highest-profile I've heard yet for these things. I was surprised just to see them being sold by the sheister vendors at major shopping malls. Now they're at Walgreens? What's next, Sears? Yeah, it was a limited thing. The fuckers wanted 29 bucks for it and they claimed that it played all NES carts or as they said: "Dust off your old carts and play" It wasn't a controller per se, it looked like a Genesis 3 but had 1000 built in Nintendo games(of course with a modded title screen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think for only $5 i got a deal espically on the 72 in one cart so if yo usee a 72 in one cart remember 79,000 in one is not tha same as 72 in one.

yuppicide Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 $5 is a deal. These things are dirt cheap tho. I've had them before. The better one is wireless via Infrared and mine has 111 in 1. You should see how small the cartridge is. It's 1/3 the size of a Famicom cartridge in height, yet still fits the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHCLAWZ Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Where would I get such a console? Looks like it needs a pin adapter or modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroogur Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 why is it that you peeps get EVERYTHING...or don't euro importers like taking in dodgy asian electronics I been thinking the same thing...in reverse: http://www.ashens.com/ (his video reviews are great) I live in the greater Pittsburgh area and have yet to see anything interesting in the way of knock-offs or other fun stuff from China.
