Xplay dives into the bootleg bonanza that was the 1980s in China. Nintendo was out of reach for Chinese families, so knock-off game consoles exploded leading to unauthorized Tekken 3 in 8-bit, a Pikachu platformer, Final Fantasy 7 for the NES, Pokemon Jade and Pearl, and a new Sonic The Hedgehog game featuring Super Mario?? Jackie Chan was even the face of a giant keyboard that played Nintendo games! This video is an absolute multiverse of madness of games that should not exist.

As an 80s child who often visited my parents' native country of Vietnam, I saw TONS of these systems/compilations/modifications/add-ons. Storytime: my mind was blown as a SNES kid. On my Asia travels, they had a SNES add-on that was fed 3.5" floppys. I always wanted to bring these back to the US with me but was told customs wouldn't allow it. Now I know I should've brought ALL OF THE ADDONS with me.

@Nordlicht05 Год назад

Here it is even not allowed to make copy's of your own files. Really a grey zone because it not always depends if you go around a copy protection.... On the other hand you get this games regularly over Amazon. So for private use nonononono... If you earn money at best not in the country with that... Oh we are not in the mood.

Fun fact: the NES Clones were even avilable in Germany :-D my friend had a SNES look alike NES clone with a Zapper gun and over 200 games included (ok it was maybe 40 or so the games were repeated and started at different levels or had other power ups as standard. Contra for example had one version were the spread gun was the standard) ... you mostly got these consoles on flee markets

@CRT_sRGB Год назад

You guys hit the nail right on the head! For youngsters living in poorer countries, these bootlegs were often the only viable and/or available option for gaming. While things have since improved, console (and PC) gaming is still a pricey hobby. That's why I won't knock mobile gaming too hard; poor people need to have fun like everyone else.

@lukamagicc Год назад

Wow how did I not know China was barely able to buy consoles by 2015?! That is actually insane.

@yangj08 Год назад

I spent my high school years in China and while you could barely buy consoles at home, if you knew someone then you could import consoles through them whenever they went to a nearby country since personal items brought back were perfectly fine. As someone who traveled to Japan a lot while studying abroad in China, I was that someone for some of my local classmates.

@mercuryvincent6796 Год назад

Same here. In the Phils, original consoles were too expensive so bootleg or what we call "pirated" games were all we got afford but it gave a chance to play a variety of games we wouldn't have been able to.

Lmao visiting family in the Philippines, bootleg games were so fascinating. It was like a whole new world.

@henrysokol3466 Год назад

As a self-admitted FFVII zombie I must say that bootleg NES version of that was impressive. Bear in mind, as long as some key likenesses were used and a battle system like the FF series' was used the developers could have just thrown together whatever lame game they felt like. But instead it looks like the three-disc Playstation blockbuster was heavily researched, then carefully pared down and retrofitted into the best NES adaptation the developers could manage. If FVII was legitimately remade nowadays by Square-Enix in a retro version using NES-era programming and sprites, I'd *LOVE* to have it. It would be so deliciously novel to see and play the most famous FF title, the first to be 3d, in that manner.

@SeekerNami Год назад

I had one of those famiclones! In my country a real NES was too expensive bc we didn't yet have trading with countries like the US so imports were incredibly expensive yet Chinese products (which were contraband at the time) were really cheap! I loved my famiclone, it was identical to an original Famicom down to the Nintendo branding. The only thing that didn't work was the speaker on the 2nd controller. People here didn't call it Nintendo or NES, they called it Family due to the prominent name on the machines and boxes. Even the original NES were called Family and some kids even thought the NES was *the* fake one 😂

@henrysokol3466 Год назад

And nowadays, Famiclones can and are openly sold around the world, because Nintendo's copyright protection on the hardware has run out. They sell decently, too: it's easier to find old cartridges on the market than the consoles that play them.

It hits too hard with that Filipino auntie bit.. One of my godfathers (I have a lot of them), got me NBA2K 2006 in 2008, for PS2. I had a fun time, but like... Yeah... Lol... NBA2k 2006, the one with Shaq on it when he was in the Miami heat. Lol, 100% he definitely tried Also, the Pokemon jade also hits... Goddammit... I remember being at a family party and one of the other kids was like "hey, I have this new Pokemon game" *pulls out Gameboy advance SP* "look at how cool this is" It was weirdly enough a super cool experience basically believing that Pokemon jade was a new Pokemon game, lol...

If someone had an original NES or FAMICOM either these people's source of income was questionable or they were businessmen's kids. Not a lot of middle class people could afford the original NEX/ FAMICOM or even genuine cartridges.

Ha! My first console was due to my high grades in Elementary School. Dad promised me to buy a "Family Computer" if I could show him good grades and I did. The following Sunday, after church, we went to electronic shop and I could still remember tune 📺 TV's that plays demos of colorful Famicom games. The endless array of colorful game cartridges. I was expecting the red and white Famicom console like I saw in my friends' house, but the sales lady said they ran out, so I ended up getting the gray Famiclone that I was hugging the whole time we were on the bus ride heading home. On the of endless joy I was experiencing, we had Jollibee after shopping. I was the happiest kid. Now, that I can afford to buy latest and greatest console(s), nothing can match the buying experience I had with the "bootleg" console. Buying another game console is not the same, let alone playing games.

Here is a story I learnt that no one talks about: So back in like in the mid 90s or so samsung a popular electronic company from south korea produced some bootleg copies of snes games but they did not do bootleg they officially released sega consoles in south korea due to a boycott that prevented japanese products from coming from south korea but this boycott ended around in uh 1998 or 2002 but nintendo sued them for piracy violation but samsung learned their lesson and destroyed all of the bit of bootleg snes game copies they had in their stock so nintendo teamed up with samsung to stop bootlegged games from coming in areas like eastern europe, south amercia and across asia and this is one of the extremely instances where a company is sued from making bootlegs but learnt their lesson and destroyed their bootlegged copies/games and helped with the company that sued them to stop other bootlegs sorry for that repeating I'm commenting this late at night.
