Bootleg as it is, I'd get it, it could be useful...although if it can be at that harsh of a discount, I fear what it may do to the Switch's own battery.

Also I brought a bunch of bootlegs of my own, found today on a shop close to my house.

Oh, I didn't know that was a knockoff from a real brand. I retract my statement, I wouldn't ever buy that. I thought it was just license-less, not a cheap copy.

Yeah the Switch has undocumented ways of dealing with power, while I’m sure a power bank might not cause the issues the docks have... best not risk it.

I'm trying really hard to read this and failing. Like, there's a clear PUZZLE LEAGUE there but it's mixed up and has more letters than it should. I guess I should just accept it's actually UZLAUZL PZEGEGE.

Found this at an estate auction today. It's like..a trapper keeper?

I don't actually know if it is a bootleg,but my first reaction is it's a reference to the box art of Mega Man 1?
Anyway,I own it now.

My guess is that it's not actually 10000 mAh and probably more likely only 1000 or something.

It reminds me of a scam with flash drives, where its advertised as 120gig (or whatever) on the packaging/product but then when you actually plug it in its only a 4gig.

Counts as a bootleg tho, cos he stole it from someone else. Was floating around since the PS mini was announced.

That's a Zombie Pigman, an enemy in minecraft's version of hell(and probably one of the better renditions of it), the Nether. The green/white is rotting flesh/bone.

That's a swatbot from the old sonic cartoon.



I have no idea of the source for that binder thing, but I want it so. That's a glorious thing, and I don't think it's a bootleg, though the original source I have no idea. It's way too high quality to be a run of the mill bootleg, and I feel like it was made knowingly rather than slammed together like most knockoffs.

Holy poo poo. That's not lazy bootlegging, that's careful repro carting of games that don't have real US releases. I'm guessing the ones that are Japan only like Sweet Home and Mother are fan translation romhacks. What were the prices?

I have to squint to see the prices but it looks like Alien Soldier and Mother 3 at least are going for $50?

Also god drat, those care bears need to be burned, there's no way those aren't infested with every sort of parasite imaginable.

$40 for those two, 50 for a few others, and there's not a thing under $40; Darxide pulls in the lead with $75.

Darxide is definitely not worth 75. It's a Europe only game for the 32X that is pretty much just 3D Asteroids.

After doing some research, it is indeed a legit Trapper Keeper that was produced.
Now, people were debating on whether they actually got the license from Capcom and was only given a vague description, or if some artist was being cheeky.

I'll take a few more pictures when I get it back out. I bought a trunk of crap just for that thing.
But yeah,I'm not attached to it that much. I was planning to sell it anyway. Lemme get you some more pictures,and we can work something out.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's more a Star Wars rip off than a video game. It's not like the name "Mega Man" is that unique. I mean, in 86, a year before the game, the WWF had a wrestler who went be the name "Mega Man" Tom Magee.

Maaaaybe, but the timeline sort of lines up, and that is the MEGA MAN font,and has a TM under it.


"Blue robot that shoots an arm gun" it works. I mean...look at the box art for Megan Man 1.

There's a few unreleased ones, some fan translations, Earthbound is just the original English Mother release, and they had a MLP: Friendship is Magic NES game too.

$40-50 for these honestly isn't too bad. A few years back I ordered some of these for a buddy and they were like, $80 plus the donor cart and shipping. Probably way easier to get now though, there's probably even a market for new blank boards.

Mother didn't HAVE an english release, that's a prototype. I'm sure it's the same for Final Fantasy 2 there. And yeah, the repro carts and boards are a real market for some of the homebrew markets. Like some of the solid games like the two Battle Kid ones in the homebrew world really frown on distributing roms and prefer you buy physical carts.

The only official one, yes. There was never an NES cart released to the public in America. That said, any repro cart will be essentially identical to Earthbound Beginnings on the VC, since they used the script the prototype had. I'm pretty sure that's also the case with Sin and Punishment, which likewise was meant to get an American release but got kneecapped at the last minute because of executives.
