Datel are one of the UKs finest when it comes to excellent console accessories, heresan excerpt of an interview by Cubed:
Datel has been around for so many years now creating accessories across so many formats. What do you feel makes the company so special in comparison to other competitors that have faded away over the years (an example being the Game Genie)?
Ian Osborne: Datel has stayed at the front of the pack through constant innovation and improvement. While other companies allowed their products and product range to stagnate, we’ve always stayed one step ahead and never rested on our laurels.
C3: Nintendo has in the past come down hard on import stores, such as Computer Exchange, forcing them to remove any US or Japanese games being sold in the UK. Has Datel ever had any problems with the company, considering devices such as the Action Replay and Freeloader opening a gateway to import gaming?
IO: Import gaming is not illegal, and neither is a software solution to unlocking a console to take advantage of import gaming. Datel refuses to be bullied, and will continue to make the products the gamers want, even if some companies don’t want us to have them.
