Pikkon | 20 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Never thought this would see the light of day. https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/v1135225758?conversionType=YahooAuction_DirectSearch Interesting is the cartridge slot is shaped different and the AV port on the back looks like the same port on a Famicom Disk System but upside down. The bids are pretty insane,wonder what it will finally sell for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman | 4,033 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I'd be surprised if all those bids are real now. The Nintendo Playstation went for $300k and this is already at $456k? It will be interesting to watch and see the final price and if it actually sells for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Nintendo is better than Nintendo tainted with something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart010 | 1,708 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 For a prototype system that was kept by professionals in the video game industry, they sure did abuse this thing. Theres lots scuffs and signs of wear. You’d think this was some American kids old system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've asked On a more serious bit, it's fascinating, and I'm really really curious if whoever wins it could rig up something? Sure the controller port lacks a few pins...doesn't mean someone who knows how circuits and wires work couldn't cobble something using a SNES controller right? Perhaps similarly to the rear with the audio visual as well. WHat if the pin connector is the same as a SFC cart, but the shell is just wrong, pop it out, maybe 3D print a new shell that's easily popped open (like a snes cleaning kit) if it will actually DO something and isn't more into the weeds where it can't read a real game. This if it wasn't some toxic expensive mess to get would be a fun investigation, like Ben did with the SNES CD proto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
