I usually don't post product news, but this is just way too cool so I couldn't pass it up.

Apparently it's a console thinger that uses standard SNES controllers, but has the ability to play both NES and SNES carts by having a second cart slot. At 50$ it's not that bad for anyone who either collects these weird hardware things or has a lot of carts and no longer has the system to play them on (cheaper than finding a snes and a nes).

Thanks to DaMadFiddler for linking me to this.

wow, this is one of the most impressive rip off consoles I've seen. Wonder how well the controllers work.

Actually, I picked up one of these from an imports store a while ago. Very high quality, works with all my NES carts and all my SNES carts. The controllers work just fine in NES mode. If you have any questions just ask.

hmm. In 15 - 20 years, do you think we will see dreamcast knock offs?

Much sooner then that most likely.

I got a NES with 10 games, 3 controllers and a gun AND a SNES with 3 games and and 1 controller for $20 :D.

This FC Twin thing looks cool tho, I'll probably pick one up when it's 10yrs old.

Does it play PAL nes and snes games? I live and Europe and I'd love to have it, but if it doesn't play pal it's useless to me

1) colors are normal in NES mode, VERY MINOR differences in SNES mode. As I said VERY MINOR, very hard to tell the difference.

2) I know NES inports work, there's no lockout curcuit, but it's unconfirmed for SNES mode.
