WEIRD Nintendo Bootleg! N-Joypad Famiclone Review - Famicom Clone Chinese NES Knock Off

This N-Joypad may be the WEIRDEST Nintendo Bootleg system we've seen yet! With its fake CD system and some really bizarre hacks of popular Nintendo NES / Famicom games, I think so far this one tops our list of strangest Famiclone consoles! What do YOU think?

[@darktetsuya]

yeah this is such a weird system! i've seen similar with reskinned NES games, but never a system that looked quite like that!

Excite Bike with Indy car doing stunts?.. 😂

[@SticksGazetteFan2005]

The bootleg and pirate hacks of these games were actually made by inventor.

[@mgmanndann8084]

Nstalgia lol, mine came with a faulty controller as a kid

[@GregsGameRoom]

So the whole disc thing intrigues me... What's the point of making the user insert them when: A. They're all three included and B. The games are already built into the system? Just to be... fun? I guess?

[@RetroGamesFan]

Pretty much! lol Probably to make it **appear** more expensive or higher tech by claiming it is a "CD Based System."

[@GameHammerCG]

@@RetroGamesFan When you see this stuff, you have to read "CD Based System" like you would read "Based on a true story" in a TV movie.

I just found one of these in a charity shop today. It's definitely a weird system. I kind of like it!

[@AnthonySDurant]

Pretty neat if you ask me, bootleg or not

[@knightsoftarot6794]

I've actually owned this before, while I did have a lot of fun with it, it rly has no shame with its ripping off of games

[@anonymousgamecritic9832]

I swear this was for sale in an old Argos catalogue few years back here in the UK?? 🇬🇧

[@shroomshadyy6738]

Yeah about 14 years ago my parents got me one in an Argos , im from UK

[@tissuesstuff1016]

Feels like a DVD mashup with a PlayStation 1...

[@ValentinesEve1996]

I found out that the controller ports on the N-Joypad Famiclone are identical to the Nintendo GameCube controller ports. Have you tried testing the N-Joypad with a Nintendo GameCube controller?

[@jnharton]

Shame it doesn’t do something novel or interesting like actually read encoded data from the discs. It’d be super neat, as a toy at least, if the discs contained code patches which were used to alter original game ROMS to create ROM hack style changes.

[@GINTegg]

Underneath all that garbage you're just like all the famiclones I've wasted before!

[@thegamer1072]

I actually got this thing when i was 3 or 4

[@thepirategamerboy12]

Surprised you were able to get one of these, being that I'm pretty sure it was only released in PAL countries.

[@frenchtoast4365]

I like the idea of the discs

[@user-iz9kt2ly2n]

Give me that! Take my money!

[@OctoNinjaoffical]

They do this because they can’t build their own games. They have to copy others

[@patricklawton8135]

Reskinned to avoid copyright vand trademark lawsuits

[@azoz054alothman5]

When you notice that most of these pirated games has a music reversed which make it awful😖😖

[@Wuss2ns]

Egg it is so cool

[@bigbeardedbeastcollector9404]

Very weird

[@user-ml6yj7yu3c]

Dump please!!!!!!
