- vinht426, on 11/25/2007, -0/+123I bought a system like that in Vietnam when I was a kid... it basically is the same 10 games over and over again with a different difficulty level, different color scheme, and of course a different title....I was sooo disapointed
- mattcoady, on 11/25/2007, -0/+104I think they were aiming for a billion, then hit developer's block.
- britishrob, on 11/25/2007, -0/+91Some poor kid is going to ask Santa for a Wii and end up with one of these
- DickyT83, on 11/25/2007, -3/+66You mean some poor kid is going to ask Santa for one of these and end up with a PS3.
- doshindude, on 11/25/2007, -0/+50That's the same typical pirated NES Flash Cart with 999,999,999 variations of the same game that I've seen in the mall.
only 8 of the games are actually playable. - monkeyboyhero, on 11/25/2007, -0/+46Sadly, the billionth game was going to be Duke Nukem Forever
- chingy1788, on 11/25/2007, -0/+39Super Mario Clone in 999,999,999 different colour schemes!!! wonderful
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 11/25/2007, -2/+35It's OVER 9000 !!!
- PeppermintPig, on 11/25/2007, -0/+26ATTENTION PARENTS: This is the system your kids have been craving for!!1! Be sure not to disappoint!
/Am I the Devil? I dont know... >:P - UNEXPLODEDduck, on 11/25/2007, -0/+17I think they went for the "give a million monkeys a million typewriters" approach.
- Supurcell, on 11/25/2007, -0/+15Wow, that whole article could fit in the description.
- ZenFountain, on 11/25/2007, -0/+14Nothing tops the Polystation.
- Browzer, on 11/25/2007, -0/+13I remember when Atari games claimed they had "100 games" in a box of Space Invaders or something like that. Usually, it was just a huge bunch of simple variations. Here is a good example:
http://www.atariage.com/box_page.html?SystemID=260 ... - platypibri, on 11/25/2007, -0/+11They couldn't find 1 more game?
- projectstartrek, on 11/25/2007, -0/+10Are you saying a single monkey can code a million games?
- inactive, on 11/25/2007, -0/+10I owned such a pirated cartridge with a couple hundreds of games for the NES that I bought from some black market dude on a street corner. All looked like original versions, plus there was different variation of the same games repeating with cheat codes activated by default or hacked super weapons that does not officially exists in the original games. But 999,999,999 games? Wow, that's insane!
- projectstartrek, on 11/25/2007, -0/+10They make all of them at this point
- tonich03, on 11/25/2007, -2/+11Oh my god, I had one of these when I was a kid! It was a famiclone and i basically had 20 or so games which would repeat randomly as you browsed through the "million of games", under different titles and starting on a different level.
- inactive, on 11/25/2007, -1/+9At least it won't overheat, and isn't too noisy, oh and no format war worries.
- Wrathernaut, on 11/25/2007, -1/+9However, the easy way to turn the tides on this is to go by %.
Yes, you had more games at launch, but how many new games will you have in a year?
Even if they manage to produce 99,999 new games, they've only added ~1% to the library. Whereas my PS3 if they add 10 games they've doubled the available games over last xmas. - SteveDeGroof, on 11/25/2007, -0/+8I wonder why they bothered using a cartridge. Hardwiring the ROM would be cheaper.
- Wrathernaut, on 11/25/2007, -1/+8I can play with more variations with a SuperBall.
- Dgen_X, on 11/25/2007, -0/+7That's so they can add the one game at a later date...it's still in development
- projectstartrek, on 11/25/2007, -0/+7#FFFFFF->#FFFFFE
- AdamWest2122, on 11/25/2007, -0/+7Zoom in on the game cartridge and it says
999999999in1
SUPER GAME - Christbait, on 11/25/2007, -1/+8Dear China,
Please don't make a video games console ever again.
Thanks. - iamdon, on 11/25/2007, -1/+7might as well call it 'Goooooooooooooooooooooooogle Game Pack'
- dontaskagain, on 11/25/2007, -0/+6I have 3 TV game systems.
2,999,999,997 Times more fun that your having, right now. - missingnoh4x, on 11/25/2007, -0/+6If it had 1000000000 games I might be interested, but only 999999999?
- adraft, on 11/25/2007, -0/+6A million E.T.'s at least.
- Takteek, on 11/25/2007, -4/+9Um... where does it say 1 less than a billion games?
http://www.chinawholesalegift.com/Electric-Gifts/G ... - funkytommyman, on 11/25/2007, -0/+5do you also have a cake?
- projectstartrek, on 11/25/2007, -1/+5Who...cares???
- Buddhist, on 11/25/2007, -0/+4What‽ Nine thousand‽
- Bonekhan, on 11/25/2007, -0/+4I think maybe a billion is just too far-fetched.
- jbird123, on 11/25/2007, -0/+4Ran out of colours :( Lol
- juliolarri, on 11/25/2007, -0/+4i want to see the infrared and ultraviolet schemes
- SaladFork, on 11/25/2007, -0/+3I bought one of these in Singapore a while back. The game choice was amazing. Duck Hunt, Hunting Ducks, Duck Hunter, Hunter of Ducks, Duck Shooter, ..., Mario, Jumping Man, The Plumber, Bamboo Mario (just world 4...), Water Mario, ..., Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Fighting Turtles, Karate Turtles, Fighting Turtles...
Oh yeah, those were the fun days. - juliolarri, on 11/25/2007, -0/+3why blue-ray or hd-dvd?. we have the definite format war winner!
- runep, on 11/25/2007, -0/+3I bought a system like that a little while ago for approx. $20. Like everyone else posted, there's a only handful of games with a lot of virtually unplayable variants. The packaging was hilarious though and it does play Super Mario Bros., so all in all a great deal. Snaps of the package here: http://monkeydna.blogspot.com/2006/06/king-game-ii ... The blog's in Danish, but the photos should speak for themselves.
- tanside, on 11/25/2007, -0/+2haha, it comes with a water pistol straight out of the 80's.
- Pyroteq, on 11/25/2007, -0/+2Reminds me of something they were selling here in Australia - The Power Joy, except it wasn't sold on a dodgy corner in China Town, it was actually advertised on TV on one of the morning shows on a major network. =/
- projectstartrek, on 11/25/2007, -0/+2You hadn't noticed?
- WKUHilltopper, on 11/25/2007, -0/+2Well, if it's coming from China, it'll probably blow up and burn down your house.
- romws, on 11/25/2007, -0/+2Doesn't anyone remember the old 999,999,999 in 1 NES games? The basically had Mario, Space Invaders and few more games over and over again with just different levels / options.
Not sure if they were official or bootlegs, but I remember having them back in 1995. - fonik, on 11/25/2007, -0/+2That's 56180 games per day since 1950, 1 games per 6 people on the planet and if they spent 30 seconds adding every game to the console it would take them almost 100 man/years.
This is a stupid, stupid marketing trick. Why didn't they just say that it cures cancer and makes shoes for orphans, too? - LeRenard, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1A friend had a "100 in 1" bootleg NES cart when I was a kid. It actually had 100 different NES games on it like Kid Icarus, Metroid, and Castlevania, and the save features even worked on games that had them like Zelda. Everyone wanted to hang out at that kid's place.
- riverstyx, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1Oh these are like those Yobo systems. They have them for sale at every flea market and swap meet in the area for around 20 bucks.
- orb_nsc, on 11/26/2007, -0/+1Indeed. Define "everywhere"...I haven't seen any. How many US retailers would even try to push these things?
- freedomorfire, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1action 52 anyone?
