- Taylor Turley was stunned after she noticed the Super Mini SN-02 gaming console her 5-year-old son received as a Christmas gift was filled with racist and pornographic games.

![10 Weird NES Facts! [Nintendo Entertainment System] | Nintendrew](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DKOtyWggaNI/mqdefault.jpg)
"we reached out to disney but did not hear back" is one of the funniest things I've heard in a long while
mancub’s man club
Right? It's a knockoff, not their product.
Lmfao
I thought the same thing LOL, like is this a joke or is this guy that dumb???
Disney is like “I created Mario now?”
Imagine knowingly buying a illegal knockoff console and then complaining about the contents inside. These parents are ridiculous
@disc. On the lookout for ‘hidden racism’. Might want to buy some gold ?
SO many people blind of china's sht. STOP buying from amazon aka ALL products from CHINA, which is where that fake console came from.
that blonde woman is hot
she was gifted it
I think people need to be warned about potential pedo child baiting games
These are all ROM hacks that people used to make in the very early days of the internet. The factory in China obviously just downloaded a collection of ROMs off the web and never checked what they actually were.
I think I noticed the Mario 2 game apparently being a very racist game that I can't mention but you can probably guess which 1 it is
Is it the kkk mario game?
@@Videogamer-555, yep that’s the one
Weren't some of those hacks the infamous badderhacks?
Thanks, Guru Larry!!
The fact they try to contact Disney for something that is modified is hilarious.
Exactly what is Disney gonna do lmao
I bet the advertising for this thing disappears. Watch.
To ban it.
@@hotdogcandy ik people are stupid lol
@@hotdogcandy Knowing modern Disney they probably indorse it.
Why would they reach out to Disney for comment when it's a bootleg console?? smh 🤦♂
they wanted walt disney himself to come bursting out the doors and say I DID THIS
Because of ignorance. They don't know anything about bootleg and pirated games.
@@JamesRestin or romhacks
Because they are idiots: is a bootleg and pirate system, Disney can even act against the Chinese company who produce this system, in China is not ilegal to pirate things.
Maybe get Disney to file a cease and desist copyright infringement to the companies selling the product in the united states.
Its crazy they didn't even mention that even selling this game is completely illegal.
I don’t think they knew that was illegal. I do think the staff from Nintendo will appear in the future news (and pretty much staff from Disney as well) and address it that this is illegal and going to sue the seller and inventor who made the console that putted illegal roms and hacks in it.
@@DigiPen92 good luck sueing a Chinese company LOL. Theyll relist the system under another game, as they have done, for years.
They did mention Nintendo didn't make it, so it's definitely a bootleg system.
@@beauwalker9820 Umm... we already know this is a Chinese Bootleg System.
I was thinking the same thing
I can't believe they actually contacted Disney about an unofficial rom hack of a game they made 30 years ago
..well, you bought a bootleg knock-off.
Edit: OMFG they reached out to Disney?! They had nothing to do with it 🤣
right, but it's not reasonable assumption that it would come pedophelia, and racism...especially since, many knockoffs exist, and none of them have that.
While it's not Disney (or Nintendo)'s fault that this product exists nor for what's contained inside, it IS Amazon's and Walmart's fault for letting these products stay on their digital shelves.
I think they respond to complaints by removing items, but don't proactively stop people from putting items up for sale.
@@presidentsaigamingshorts completely agree! I hate that everything has a marketplace now. I want to buy from a retailer directly, not a third party!
If you paid $60 for a bootleg console not only are you being cheap, but you fail at buying inexpensive retro games
How exactly is paying $60 being cheap? When retro games vary in prices to begin with also besides the fact that snes mini was only $80 when it launched I don't think $20 is going to make a huge difference.
@Amanda Miller Hahaha social distancing, you must be from the suburbs.
Honestly I can understand wanting to buy a bootleg console because the retro games market is insanely expensive, and these don’t seem like the kind of people to know about emulation.
@@JustWowNick Yeah but emulation is easy in 2023 with a Steam Deck or even an Xbox Series. You could've spent 400$ on good technology and just took the time to learn how to get retro games on there, instead of buying an obvious fake console that's been off the market for decades now
@@JustWowNick I agree with you on the former. Retro gaming or retro collecting has become prohibitevely expensive. That being said, there are so many flash cards out there, or new devices which emulate retro consoles like the rasberry pi. They're pretty mainstream nowadays.
Some notes for other parents:
1. These are knock off consoles made in China and filled with unlicensed and commonly modified copies of games (ROM Files). You can't blame Nintendo or Disney or anything like that.
2. There is an online scene called ROM Hacking where people modify games. You have 2 sides of that. You have the people who modify games to update them, add features, or to make them better. An example of that would be maybe updating the roster of players on a sports game to reflect a 2023 season instead of a 1989 season. Then you have a group of people who just want to try to be funny and modify games to make them as sexual, racist, or obnoxious as possible. Those people did it for their own enjoyment and for the enjoyment of other ROM Hackers. Those people never intended for fly-by-night Chinese companies to take the ROM files and put them on their cheap knockoff consoles to sell to unsuspecting parents.
Explains why Disney had no comment
100% true.
@@jimmyehlschlaeger3624 Dude why tf would Disney know about this outside of this news story?
@@jimmyehlschlaeger3624 I don't think you understand. This is like if someone bought a bunch of KitchenAid toasters, put sexually explicit stickers on them, then took them down to the local flea market to sell them. KitchenAid (Disney) would have no knowledge or involvement of those activities.
Well spoken
"Who's fault is it?"
Parents "Well...
- Video Games
- Movies
- Society
- Schools
- Internet
- Politics
- Anyone but the actual parents"
Once again it's a Biden failure for letting this stuff in the country
A comment even Dr.Phil will be proud of💪
Al bundy was right it IS the parents the kids don't copy the media, they copy the parents.
this is why everyone (Including me) Hate parents and Dr Phil.
you buy bootleg consoles you get bootleg roms
Both this news station and the parents are completely clueless about whats really going on.
What else is new? Water is wet?
you think it is just ‘this news station’?
Parents rarely try to know their stuff now, it's always easier to blame someone else
They’re not clueless, they know exactly what’s going on. They’re starting crap that will go no where. Gamers are smart and the people involved in this report are just trying to keep the “racist” narrative alive. Anything for a click. They’re pathetic
If you grew up playing the original SNES you should be able to notice a knock off when you see one
Nintendo doesn't make the OG one anymore. You don't really have a choice but to buy a knockoff, or let your kid play on an emulator on a PC. I'm sure they know it's a knockoff, but they probably expect original Nintendo ROMs loaded on it, not pornographic games
Amazon tells you who the manufacturer is, so how do you not notice a counterfeit Super Nintendo? Caveat Emptor
Also, the classic series doesn't resonate with kids. When the NES and SNES Minis were released about five years ago, I asked various students in the HS that I worked in at the time if they would buy it, and they invariably told me that the graphics are way too dated, and they would never play this over Fortnite or Black Ops. They'd probably think differently after playing Final Fantasy III or Chrono Trigger, but maybe not because Gen Z is basic.
Lmao
@@jackl8025she could have got the snes classic mini directly from Nintendo.
@@RobbieStacks90 as someone whose apart of Gen Z just know that there are a few of us who actually appreciate older games
I can explain:
I grew up with roms and emulators. It used to be that roms were curated by a small group of large web pages. It's much more time consuming to get to special web pages in order to get rom listed that have been checked for validity. Since these small consoles are basically a raspberry pi, an emulator and a shell it's very easy to make it in mass. But the most difficult part is having the cleanest and largest database of roms to load onto them.
Back in the day roms used to be on limewire and a bunch of other file sharing platforms. But you'd never really know if your downloading the rom or one of these intentionally racist highschool pranks.
These people may literally be seeing a rom that was intentionally altered by a 90s or early 2000s kid that made it as a joke. But since that day it's sat on a bunch of databases just circulating. This is beautiful.
You are right it wasn't done intentionally
Glad yall think it’s a joke 😂
When the news segment unwittingly becomes an ad for a shady unlicensed product.
Yeah I bet more people bought them just to see and laugh at the iNnApPrOpRiAtE games on it.
Giving your child a cell phone is even more dangerous
Well we can monitor their every move, I can see literally everything my kid does. Before he plays I a game I will play it first. I'll go all through it first and see what's up. I can time his internet time. Stop him from seeing certain things, so it's I'm actually controlling his activity. As far as other parents I know some who do too even though I get your point not all do.
This happens because parents are so willing to buy their kids the cheap bootleg knock offs instead of paying the premium to buy the legitimate consoles.
EXACTLY, it's the parents fault =P
Actually I'm being serious
That's what they get for being a cheapskate.
Ps5 is 500 bucks for Anima lol
What premium lol? You could find a working condition SNES and good cartridges for the same amount of money. This is just stupid spending
Funny because you can download and play every snes game ever made in the cheapest smartphone now, they are so out of touch
They're treating it like this is a new thing and they didn't buy cheap, fake stuff. I blame the parents.
The worst part is that this likely doesn't even have the best game: GRAND DAD.
Grand Dad? GRAND DAD?!!!
What?
FLEENTSTONES?!
The random dude who made that Jungle Book rom hack, the one presumably stolen by the creator of the console, would probably die of laughter if he found out that NBC reached out to Disney about it.
Why? Disney needs to be aware of copyright issues so they can use their lawyers to go after the people responsible.
@@mynameisworld you’re not terminally online apparently
@@mynameisworld you can't seriously expect Disney to use the time and resources tracking down some random nerds who modded a 30 year old game featuring their ip to have adult content and then somehow flag down the endless distributed archives online.
@@mynameisworld disney dont care about the kids , the hire pedophiles . FACTS
@@mynameisworld --- Disney VS Air Pirates Funnies.
Parody is Protected Free Speech.
The fact they called Disney over a video game that was made nearly 30 years is what had me 🤣
An illegal bootleg version of their videogame.
That isn't their game it's a rom hack (modified game)
Its so absurd :D
But why didn't they call nintendo, ok obviously calling nintendo over this would be stupid, but... so would calling disney, and they stupidly did that! =P
@@bigemugamer yeah youd think theyd call the actual video game company thats getting their system ripped off instead of the film company LOL
"Looks like a fun version of Luigi" Have you ever played Paper Mario?
probally not!
I love how it's everyone's fault but hers. SHE chose to buy an unlicensed knockoff because it was cheaper and she got exactly what she paid for.
"We reached out to Disney, because we were too lazy to do the Google search which told us what was going on immediately."
Google, that big book of answers we ALL wish would fall into our laps and answer all our questions isn't as easy as calling someone to do it for us. =P
It's depressing how many times i have to point that out to people in the you tube comment section that lives with that mentality.
You honestly get what you pay for
To heck with that! We wouldn't have this issue if resellers and scalpers weren't trying to sell the snes classic for $300! It was $80 on release, these people weren't trying to get a cheap deal, they were just a few years late to a limited release.
@@illessen8995 Find something else to play with.
@@Blaze6432that’s what she said
@@illessen8995 Dude, you're just complaining about capitalism. They're just making profit.
@Illessen Grow up. It's a platform that's not being made anymore and hasn't been for years. People who bought it can sell it for however much they want, if the demand is there.
"That's not the Mowgli I remember..."😂😂😂
My warning is to not buy illegal products. If you buy illegal products, then the consequences are on you.
Quick tip for parents: If you see a box that looks like a retro gaming console that says something along the lines of "821 GAMES IN ONE!!!" Expect it to be a bootleg from China. Also, just do your research before making a purchase.
There's also the old adage... If it seems too good to be true, that's because it is.
821 games in one sounds like a pretty neat deal tho
As a racist game developer I agree. A good parent should always know what they're showing their kids
Yeah that’s why you don’t buy Chinese bootleg video games from the flea market or the internet.
Amazon is 95% Chinese bootleg products. It's become so bad. I tried to buy a rug, and could not find one that wasn't acting like it was a new company selling a different product. They all use the same materials and info-graphics though. Basically there are 1000000 stores in amazon and they all lead to china.
Stick with buying legit video games.
@@foxmccloud7055 Falcos better than you
cut her some slack she said bootleg 🤣
That's why you don't buy Chinese period.. Chinese products are Trash. Lol
Hacked games (roms) that have existed for around 15-20 years and placed on an emulated machine and then sold on Amazon and Walmart online, never thought I would see the day.
back in my day you had to go to the chinese guy at the flea market.
The fact that she not only bought this but WENT TO THE NEWS is giving me secondhand embarrassment. How can you be this uninformed???
This is why we, as responsible parents, buy the REAL THING.
Buy the real thing good luck those OG snes goes for inflated prices like $200 + due of nostalgia trend look up retro game prices hike and you see games that cost alot of money why people pirated Nintendo Rom games for a reason you only need a Laptop (2015 or newer) or a cheap desktop with a affordable GPU can run Nintendo snes games in good performance.
@@MrTheinfoman yes, unless you know what you dealing with, then ok. Not a lot of parents are PC smart.
Yeeeeeah because my girlfriend at the time brought me this for Christmas like 3-4 years ago and I haven’t seen none of these games.
@@MrTheinfoman just emulate it on your PC for free
@@thesupervisor3270 Would be interesting to play em lol. Its all fun, until you discover the true meaning behind it.
The real crime is that people payed $40-$60 for a knockoff console😂
Add to that the entire library probably takes seconds to download lol.
But just think how collectable they are gonna be now. I think it was money well spent.
@@areyouserious3092 I doubt this is going to be a collectible item lol
@@areyouserious3092 are you serious
They are actually worth it if you don't want to go to all the trouble of finding legit rom websites yourself. I have played a few of these types of things and they have pretty good rom collections that play decently with a almost comparable to the original controller
Perfect case of "you get what you pay for".
This isn't a console identifying problem, this is a IQ problem, I CAN'T fathom someone around my age (early 30's) being soo clueless about knock off consoles.
If there's one thing the internet can agree on it's that the news has never known how to cover video games and comes up with the dumbest stories and takes.
I owe my life to these amazing reports. If I had played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid, Satan would own my soul and and I would be a no good criminal. THANK YOU FOX NETWORK!
@@Super-Amigo ...said the youtube commenter. Deikailo prays for their salvation, reminding them a D20 and a sheet of paper are less than a cup of coffee, your realm's elixir. To see if his prayers are answers, Deikailo the dwarf cleric must roll for an intelligence check...
All they are doing is giving a warning to inexperience parents that this is a bootleg and contains r18 content. An inexperienced parent wont know the difference. All the comments i see are strawmans because the report is not saying that the parents willingly bought a bootleg and they are complaining. The report is saying that Amazon and Walmart are taking part in selling illegal third party chinese bootlegs that look exactly the same as a SNES, which i think is illegal
@@thisjointisloose Yeah people in the comments complaining about the parents are more dumb than the parents themselves to realize not everyone is going to know a games console advertised to children and sold on Amazon and Walmart are bootleg products. People love being outraged about things though
@Ερμής Τρισμέγιστος a table top game is the same as a video game. One style requires a table. One requires a tv. LOL you know Warhammer, magic the gathering, etc are video games as well eh? Your missing out is all 👉👈 gaming is great. TV is mindless
I like how she rated it and was like DON'T BUY THIS.... 4 STARS.
She did that so the review would ve on top i assume.
@@uhh_p Gamers will just take it as a funny Steam review
@@uhh_p makes no sense lol
@@uhh_p You assume wrong. Try again.
THEY CENSORED THE DOKI DOKI PANIC CHARACTER SELECTION SCREEN 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Talk about manufactured outrage!
+ Reports on a crappy Chinese bootleg console using edgy rom hacks that contain discriminatory and sexual content
+ Perfectly fine with exposing children to discriminatory and sexual context at schools and libraries, often overlooking/ignoring/denying that fact
This checks out
These nude rom hacks sound hilarious but it is tame compared to what is out there now.
I miss newgrounds.
"Even the packaging is nearly a perfect copy"... bruh.
lol that's like saying monopoly money looks EXACTLY like real money.
I blame nobody but the parents for buying bootleg consoles.
They really did reach out to Disney for a comment about a NSFW romhack some dude made in his basement.
At the age of 15 I knew how to figure out legit from bootleg. How are these adults so inept that that just BUY something without doing any kind of research on it?? This is why it's sold; because they KNOW there's stupid people that won't bother to even look at the description before buying. If they looked at the screenshots, they would even have seen the strangeness of the typos, the quality, and the change in artistic style on just the MENU page. Those are all glaring red flags!
More like they trust the storefronts, but storefronts usually don't care. The systems will look pretty legit as well and will sometimes do blatant false advertising.
Some of us ARE really checking and still getting fu(ked tho. It's not just the console, either. My nephew knows Xbox games like his own XxXx, but he's been tricked by straight up copied ads with bogus distributors.
I know people have no common sense
My 8 year old sister knows what a knockoff and bootleg is…
@@juancorona7935
Who could have imagined buying bootleg videogames could go wrong?
Bubsy --- what could PAWWSIBLY go wrong????
This may have been allowed in the country it originated from, but it’s certainly not allowed in the US.
Stop buying bootleg games at the bootleg shop and complaining
dude if she cares so much about sharing "the nostalgia" with her child, then she should definitely just get her kid the real thing.
🤣
She thought she did. The sellers intentionally lie in descriptions and make products that look like the real thing. And since there IS an actual NES mini sold by Nintendo, it's understandable that shoppers would think that's the one, since it is advertised as being the real thing.
She never know what emulation is and how she could get her own emulation using a Single board computer or a used laptop that supports SNES or NES games easly.
@@mynameisworld ---- Ummm. Even the "example console" they showed - the one NBC thinks is a REAL SNES Mini... Lacks the proper Branding on the face of the Controllers. So that too is probably a Bootleg.
@@MrTheinfoman --- Newbie Karen doesn't know what RHDN is. Doesn't know what Wow Roms is. Has no idea that she can just hack an old Wii or build a Retro Flag Raspberry Pi.
It's not uncommon for foreign companies to download entire websites containing ROMs (the code that allows you to play a game on system). Those websites often have home-cooked ROMs (games created by people) that can be pretty sketchy and even downright offensive. Many foreign companies aren't well-known for their grasp of the English language, so they just load every ROM they can find onto the system. And, this is sometimes the result.
I imagine the profit margins are WILD on those.
Thx, informative
This should be the top comment
The only logical response
Anyone involved with this should be fired and never allowed near news again.
Why is it whenever a parent wants to be cheap they forget how to read a package
I want to play Blackman 2 so bad. That sounds hilarious
its easy to find
😂
At least it didn’t use the N word as title 😂
Underrated comment.
@@rokmare Until you found out that blackman ends with n
That poor kid not only was this a christmas gift but a dang bootleg LOL 😂 These parents man
It looks the same as the original Super Nintendo Mini that Nintendo released. so its an easy mistake to make.
@@godkingemperor9782 no tf it isnt lmao it is not at all an easy mistake if you do literally 1 GOOGLE SEARCH and look at its name you can VERY CLEARLY TELL it isnt the real thing
BESIDES what kid would want a super nintendo for christmas??
yup, kids gonna become a murderer when their older... no no no not because of a silly bootleg game but because of the parents.
@CRT maybe a kid who likes old games would ask for a Super Nintendo, with CZcams gaming channels a kid knowing about it isn't that far fetched, I played NES games as a kid in the 2000's because my older sister had one.
@@CRT_YT They look identical. most people just don't read the description of what they are buying. and sometimes the sellers give false advertainment for their products. also the mom did say she wanted to get it to share with her kids her childhood memories with them. I know lots of kids that are into retro gaming.
I hope that company who made that system will gets sued
In the words of Confusious: you buy $30 game console, you get what you pay for.
That's what she get for buying her son that cheap shyt 😩
Get that PS5
Y'all worried about bootleg games. Y'all should be more worried about your children's apps and school hobbies lmao
The CZcams videos that using copyrighted Disney characters and superheroes to show kids some really messed up stuff
people can worry about more than one thing at a time FYI hope this helps
You can only worry about one thing at a time? LOL
😆
That's true. Like check your kids Instagram not some bootleg console nobody has ever heard of lol
Oh no. We must panick over jokes and images
bootlegs are wildcards, you'll never know if they have roms in them or not.
Weird bootleg games has existed *forever*. It's why you do your research into what you're buying.
A general rule of thumb about buying stuff is, if it's a knockoff, the description usually will say something like "perfect for kids birthday, graduation, gifts for boys, gifts for girls, gifts for boyfriend/girlfriend anniversary", etc.
Almost never fails.
Some CZcamsrs even made comical reviews of bootleg plug-and-play mini consoles. Like JonTron playing that one that promised over 1,000 games on it, and 200 of them were "Circus Charlie."
@@beauwalker9820
Bootleg Mustafa & MJ still give me nightmares
Don't forget that the listings themselves also are written in broken english as well
Yes. The overzealous SEO (search engine optimization, is when they spam those words so they show up on a search engine) is a dead giveaway for any hack or fraud salesperson.
Welcome to the world of rom dumps. You get weird garbage when you don’t validate and properly curate your game collections yourself and these knockoff companies almost certainly aren’t going to take the time to do so
It's the willful complaining after not doing one's due diligence in being curious and investigative about a product they buy that gets me. "I failed to be remotely intellectually curious, so now I will complain to the media."
I buy a Chrysler, it breaks down and then complain that it's not a Toyota.
Why would you reach out to Disney to comment on a ripoff game obviously not put out or affiliated with Disney at all! Come-on NBC!
Wow they really expected a bootleg system to not have anything wrong with it ._.
@George Blabbermouth Yeah it kinda is if you know what a general lack of quality control does.
It's not "3rd party" because it's not licensed by any company. It's just a bootleg.
Walmart and Amazon definitely need to crack down on this stuff though
It's possible that whoever made this console probably just filled it with as many games as possible and didn't even know which games were put into the console.
I was thinking that too or maybe translated something wrong by mistake?
I highly doubt it was a mistake. And even so, some sicko still created the games.
@@blahbloop6310 I guess you can create any game at all like how easily people can write and publish a book about anything
This is most likely what happened. The bootleg manufacturer probably just looked for the biggest library of SNES ROMs they could find, grabbed an archive that was entirely too comprehensive, and either didn’t know, or didn’t have the cultural context to know, how racist/offensive some of them were. Happens all the time.
@@0xyzabcx0 true that does seem like the likely reason. But would it be considered human error?
Can you guys do your research. The "racist" Super Mario Bros 2 is not racist. Super Mario Bros 2 in America was a reskin of Doki Doki Panic, which was the original game. We got a different Super Mario Bros 2 then Japan got. The original Super Mario Bros 2 wasn't released here until Super Mario All Stars under the title Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels.
That's also nowhere near looking like a Nintendo Switch, it has the colors but looks like a cheap Sony PSP.
The parent should do research on the product if she was the one who bought it as it's a clone console, not a licensed one.
There's really no excuse for this poor journalism, it's not the 80's where the adults are a generation who didn't play video games. Every journalist either played a game at some point or knew someone who dod. So this was just lazy.
For anyone wondering how those romhacked games got on those bootleg consoles: Back in the day Badderhacks made jokingly offensive romhacks based on how the first years of romhacking used to be childish offensive stuff like that. Eventually it would become modern day baddesthacks. Somehow the bootleggers put those on there accidentally without checking what they were since a lot of Chinese bootlegs randomize the contents so they all seem like they carry different assortments of games.
some of these predate badderhacks, and go straight back into nesticle territory. Either way they were meant for a dumb laugh, and not for bootleg consoles sold to children. Still Funny AF though.
I want to play this now. If it wasn't for the media I wouldn't know this
Such an ad campaign and it's 100% free! They even payed for the samples themselves 🤣.
I’m pretty sure I got my girlfriend this. Now I’m HOPING that it’s the same one. That is hilarious
Hahaha great gift.. she’ll be ready when you see her 😉😏
So you're telling me that bootleg content might not be authentic? *gasp*
I can't believe everyone in the video is admitting to buying stolen goods and state they are the victim.
I’m surprised they didn’t inform Nintendo about this.
Mom: "NO MORE SNES HACK ROMS!"
Kid: "But mom I have a phone."
Imagine being an adult and buying a cheap fake clone console with almost 1000 games on it and then being surprised about romhacks being on it and then shocked that the romhack games were weird this whole video is a comedy 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine being the husband of Karen, and while she’s being interviewed you have to just sit there in the background like you lost your puppy. 😂

@@plumpbird. I think the woman *_IS_* actually the original definition of what they call a "Karen"...
It's not supposed to be derogatory, but it's become that way (unfortunately).
Can I just ask - what inspired such a charming username?? 🤔
@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 its just i tend to agree with what people call karens if it was supposed to be something that was innocent but is instead very inappropriate, it wasnt like she bought an inappropriate game purposely and she was complaining about it being too inappropriate , there i wouldnt agree with her but in this case i do, its kinda hard tho bc i dont think she is very aware that these are bootleg products and not the real thing, atleast maybe people who cant tell the difference can be warned if they ever wanted to buy one for their child or smth,
and about my username uhhhhhhhhhh i ok idk if this is gonna be tmi but my grandpa since hes old he needs to be cleaned and plenty of times he has been cleaned from his butt and his bedsheets bc he tends to have diarrhea all over the bedsheets and his bed, and the couch part is bc i like to sit on the couch
my favorite part of this video is how they censor "woody" in "Mwgli Gets A Woody" when a few seconds earlier you can see it clear as day on the monitor
yh thats wat was i thinking
SMH. Buy bootleg?? Get bootleg. They are typically loaded with international and previously banned games.
I cant think of a better advertisement for this console.
This is simultaneously creepy and hilarious. I need to get one. I bet whoever put this together just grabbed a bunch of unlicensed, modded ROMs and off the internet and didn't check any of them
Why would they bother to check?
Maybe creepy and hilarious runs in the family.
"Parents outraged after buying a bootleg product for their children, shocked by adult content." Fixed the headline, just be sure to read it in a sarcastic tone. Next up, I'm going to buy an illegal product like meth and complain about the quality to the police. "Drug dealers just don't care about quality control anymore."
@Robert Cocco No way.. link me...
Words right out of my mouth... lol
You will not see these types of games on legit consoles.
@Robert Cocco Amazon and Walmart allow 3rd party sellers, you can accidentally buy dangerous counterfeit makeup and other products if you don't verify you're buying directly from the retailers. Shopping now requires street smarts and the retailers don't care if you're poisoned or accidentally buy illegal products because they still make money and law enforcement doesn't seem to care. Hard to claim ignorance over an obvious bootleg though.

These type of fake/bootleg consoles are commonly sold at flea markets or at thrift stores
Parents, if it does not look real, don’t buy it.
It's basically a pirate box, and full of probably illegal games, so even the ones that aren't explicit are an issue. Any website that lets third party retailers buy stuff off Ali Express and resell them are going to be full of things like this. Amazon, and Walmart both are lousy with these. For every one that you find, even if you managed to whack-a-mole it into non-existence, there's 100 more just like it with different shapes and packaging that would be equally difficult to remove.
(Like the dancing flower with the drug song, the people making these don't even really look at the content, they're just grabbing big piles of roms or music off the internet and jamming it on there without knowing the language, or even really trying the stuff out.)
very clever analysis
I sent a letter to the editor to that effect. I could immediately recognize this as a clone console.
I can tell you exactly what this is. The people in China making these systems just downloaded one of the many complete-library ROM packs that have been available online for decades and just loaded them onto these emulation machines without curation.
ROMs (read-only memory) are files that contain the data that was stored on video game cartridges/discs that can be run on emulation programs that digitally simulate the hardware of these old game consoles and allow you to play them on modern PCs. A lot of people don't know this but there was a significant community of people making bootleg games, home-brews, hacks, and translations of games that were never released in the West, even decades ago during the cartridge-console era. Some of these games were of a more adult and/or offensive nature.
Today, when you go online and, for instance, are looking to download a complete library of every NES or SNES game ever made, the authors will include the whole library of unofficial games as well, including the objectionable ones this segment is talking about. Guaranteed whoever is making these machines just downloaded one of these libraries and has been using it without realizing the content of some of the games it contains.
The media just made this console go up in price.
I'd be crazy NOT to buy one of these!
If you look up the console on the bootleg games wiki you can see that this isn't the first time someone tried to make it a news story.
They did get at least 2 Amazon listings taken down.
Why does this have have more attention than those books pushed in school for kids about LGBTQ+ with sexual content too?
Parents stop buying your kids illegal knockoffs
Bruh, parents let their 13yrs old and younger children play Call of Duty/online games where you hear racists, sexists and profanity on a daily basis when you go online 🤷🏻♂️
Hypocrites
Wow who would've thought a bootleg console would have questionable games inside !
What, do you mean *_obscene???_*
When you buy knockoff items, you get scammed... it's pretty common sense.
Because I haven't seen many comments mention this specifically,
Buyers who might not know this: There is an official, Nintendo produced Super NES Classic console. It is what this pretends to be, a miniature SNES preloaded with original Super Nintendo games. The thing to look for is actual Nintendo/SNES branding and a legitimate seller (Not shady third parties on Amazon, Walmart and such). It is also selling for $190 (MSRP is US$80) at the moment. If you find a price that's too good to be true, it probably is.
"Was gifted" is code for "mom got it for her".
Such hard hitting news.
Knockoffs have existed since games themselves.
There is so much junk now listed by 3rd party sellers on many large commerce sites, you have to pay attention and double check with the OEM to make sure they actually make what you are looking into, if you want the "official" one.
Pretty much. That's why Atari went under.
"Looks completely normal so far" while selecting Shoot Game with Mike Tyson ????? what part of that screen looked anywhere CLOSE to normal to you ??
Leave the gaming news to the gamers, these reporters have no idea
This is why you look for actual brands, production codes, and ESRB ratings on games and not just buy it because it looks good.
But she saw it on tiktok though!
you're not going to get rid of this system. the item will just get a new name for the item. the problem is that the games that are NSFW are rom hacks.
And the ROM hacks were made by edgy teenagers a couple decades ago.
