I have nothing against reproduction cartridges, especially for rare games, IF they are advertised as reproductions, and priced accordingly (meaning very cheap).

Goldeneye with Mario characters is one of those hilarious rom hacks that I can’t believe exists but now want in my collection immediately.

[James-gjrn]

Mario on the GoldenEye cartridge made me laugh so hard :'D

Love the effort that went into the BS Zelda Cart, definitely shows that it's not just a quick cash grab like the Pokemon repros.

00:30 - Pokemon Soul Silver DS
03:12 - Pokemon Crystal GameBoy
05:37 - 500 in 1 games for DS
08:50 - Goldeneye 64 with Mario characters
11:44 - BS / Satellaview Legend of Zelda

Mario and Goldeneye; not the crossover we wanted. But is the crossover we needed and deserved.

[KuuchWizard]

Goldeneye with Mario characters is actually a really well done mod. I played through it on my everdrive!

[TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

These things are great considering the absolute nonsense prices of the retro market these days. I used to be a bit of a snob but I couldn’t give a damn about authenticity anymore.

You made me remember the R4 card. I used to use that R4 card for my DS lite back in the day. So many memories!!

A lot of the knock of Pokémon games seem to work perfectly until later in the game where they corrupt. I legit got to the champion on my fake copy of emerald and it corrupted just before the fight.

[lowtech]

So from this I learned that Nintendo pioneered online functionality, streaming, and live service gaming... all in the mid-90s

If the game is more than 100 bucks, I'm getting a repro cart. Period. I'm not a collector, I don't like the hoarder/scalper mentality, and I just want to play on original hardware.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

I got on Etsy some enhanced GBA games of Doom and Doom 2, running at a better framerate and unedited. I’m actually very happy with it! It also has the normal color palette so it looks amazing on the Analogue NT.

[MegaRhettButler]

What an amazing thing to collect! I love unique things like this. A boxed copy of Mario in Goldeneye would be a great conversation piece.

[vladivanovich]

6:10 “it almost feels like a waste of plastic” -referring to the case or whatever you wanna call it that is the perfect size for the ds cartridge and NOT to the default box that is at least 20x the size.

Ah yes, such a waste…

This takes me back to when I used to buy burnt games for my PS2. At that time, I couldn't afford games at retail price and my parents were working to make ends meet not really much left over for luxury.
So $5.00 for a burnt PS2 game that was the jam, through that I was able to experience and open my perspectives to new games that I would have never been able to play and quite frankly known about.
Years later, thankfully my situation has changed, and I'm fortunate now where I am able to purchase games at retail.
I am more willing to go to franchises such as Metal Gear, Yakuza, Ratchet & Clank etc. because of the exposure I had back years ago thanks to burnt games.
There will always be a market for reproductions or fakes, because everyone's situation is always different

[MedalionDS]

That Zelda BS-X looks fascinating... I have a hard time going back to the NES version due to its graphics but the SNES sprites of Zelda 1-esque is great

[thedesucomplex]

yeah, I am also of the opinion that repro cartridges on retro systems for rare or digital-only games are a good thing. I actually love that BS Zelda cart. I am definitely against things that pass off as legitimate for a quick buck.

I used to work in the Entertainment sections of an electronics store. I remember vividly the amount of people coming up to me each day asking where the "little cards where you can load up all the DS games" were. I always responded with "We don't sell them, we sell the actual games". Imagine the confusion on some people's faces when you tell them you don't sell the illegal thing.
