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.
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.

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 $20 is going to make a huge difference.
Honestly I can understand wanting to buy a bootleg console because the retro games market is insanely expensive, and these don’t seem like the kind of people to know about emulation.
@@JustWowNick Yeah but emulation is easy in 2023 with a Steam Deck or even an Xbox Series. You could've spent 400$ 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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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 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.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
@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.
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
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.
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.
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 RUclipsrs 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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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??
@CRT maybe a kid who likes old games would ask for a Super Nintendo, with RUclips 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.
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."
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.
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.
"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 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.
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.
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.)
@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

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
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.
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.
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
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 🤷🏻♂️
They didn't blame the kids tho what are you saying? The news story targeted the blame against Walmart and Amazon for having these consoles without warnings on their store and despite apolisisng reputting the consoles on their websires
I remember buying a gaming system (at a swap-meet) called FunTime which was a Nintendo 64 controller, loaded with a whole bunch of games. It had a whole bunch of old school games from back in the days that I remembered, but it also had some games that I had never seen before. Some of them seemed to be games from Japan that were never released in the United States, which were based on World War 2, that had you playing the role of The Imperial Army of Japan, fighting the United States military, but it had nothing like this on it.
@@IvanLDY79812 One of the games that was on their had you playing the role of a World War 2 Japanese fighter pilot, which the goal of the game was to fight against American looking fighter planes and ships, but the main goal was to bomb and destroy a U.S Military harbor on an island. It was pretty obvious what they were portraying in that game.
Famiclone consoles that use the Nintendo 64 controller as a Plug N Play are the ones I’m fine with, they repeat the same games, but those games are really fun and enjoyable.
Your not surprised are you? You think america is the only one making top selling games where we fight other countries? I play games now thinking how do othe countries feel about this game and think there has to be versions out there that are reverse.
I mean Japan was the leader of the industry after Atari bit the dust in 1983, and until Xbox entered in 2000 or so. Pretty much that whole period were Japanese software or hardware.
Although I laughed at this video for the obvious reason, I do think what we can take from this is really check what your kids are playing. Working in retail selling video games for 3 years, personally, I saw a lot of parents not care for what they were buying for their kids. And the ones that did really asked questions and even at times asked me to help find gameplay. I feel we tend to ignore the age restrictions printed on games, movies, and music.
People are weak and lame these days. I grew up by the age of 7 watching hardcore horror and gore films along with video games. Everyone around me did and they all turned out fine. But the kids who’s parents were strict. Well they all grew up to be in relatable boring weirdos.
notice how they're not complaining about the real games that are in the system of bootleg material they bought for cheap. If you fly the pirate flag, you get into trouble once in awhile
this actually was found much earlier a few years ago in 2019 and 2020 where parents bought the same bootleg console knowing it was counterfeit and encountering the questionable rom hacks these bootleg Nintendo consoles have been around for decades at this point but I assume the only reason NBC is now reporting on it is cause of the content in question with this specific bootleg console
Obviously this story is about the content that children may be exposed to, and not The fact that it's a bootleg. I don't see why that's hard for all the commenters to understand.
@@MOTO_DOSE it's still on the parent to research what they're buying but at the same time I kind of don't blame them for not thinking this content would be on such an innocent looking console
Cause this isn't anything new, This isn't new, news. My god Soulja boy was trying to sell bootleg consoles on his website multiple times the last few years lol. But since he's not from China and is from the states. They were able to force him to remove the systems from the site. Now do sites like Walmart and Amazon need to do a better job what is posted on there sites? Yes naturally!
I didn’t know 8bit games look so real they look like trash I wouldn’t be able to tell if their naked or not cause it’s not clear imagine watching movies in 8 but that would of ruined movies
2:34 Yeah, The Walt Disney Company would definitely allow mature themed content on the video games they publish. Mind you, the game this ROM-Hack is based off of is almost 30 years old so they'd face no responsibility whatsoever.
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.
How is this item being sold on Amazon & Walmart? In terms of the IP/pirated content, not the “adult” content. I would think Nintendo (and others) would take legal action to stop it
There's a whole black market through 3rd party retailers on Amazon and Walmart, I don't know how they haven't been shut down over it, maybe facilitating the sale of illegal goods is only a crime if one isn't a wealthy mega-corp.
It would be far too expensive and too detrimental for legitimate sellers if Amazon or Walmart tried to crack down on scam items. Fakes are pretty obvious though, the titles have every keyword imaginable.
+ 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
Because they are not illegal. It's a knockoff device. Bootleg and pirated games are illegal, but the games are usually renamed and slight changes are made to the colors of iconic characters.
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.

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
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 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!

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

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.

That's why you don't buy Chinese period.. Chinese products are Trash. Lol
The worst part is that this likely doesn't even have the best game: GRAND DAD.
Grand Dad? GRAND DAD?!!!

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
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.
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 😂
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

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.

My warning is to not buy illegal products. If you buy illegal products, then the consequences are on you.
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.

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
"We reached out to Disney, because we were too lazy to do the Google search which told us what was going on immediately."

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.
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.
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.
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 RUclipsrs 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.
The fact that she not only bought this but WENT TO THE NEWS is giving me secondhand embarrassment. How can you be this uninformed???
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
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

..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!
These nude rom hacks sound hilarious but it is tame compared to what is out there now.
I miss newgrounds.
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.

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."
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?
Anyone involved with this should be fired and never allowed near news again.
"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.
@@WessyD123 watch the video?
Who could have imagined buying bootleg videogames could go wrong?
Bubsy --- what could PAWWSIBLY go wrong????
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.
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.
Y'all worried about bootleg games. Y'all should be more worried about your children's apps and school hobbies lmao

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.
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.
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!
I’m surprised they didn’t inform Nintendo about this.

I'd be crazy NOT to buy one of these!
I remember buying a gaming system (at a swap-meet) called FunTime which was a Nintendo 64 controller, loaded with a whole bunch of games. It had a whole bunch of old school games from back in the days that I remembered, but it also had some games that I had never seen before. Some of them seemed to be games from Japan that were never released in the United States, which were based on World War 2, that had you playing the role of The Imperial Army of Japan, fighting the United States military, but it had nothing like this on it.
@@IvanLDY79812 One of the games that was on their had you playing the role of a World War 2 Japanese fighter pilot, which the goal of the game was to fight against American looking fighter planes and ships, but the main goal was to bomb and destroy a U.S Military harbor on an island. It was pretty obvious what they were portraying in that game.
Famiclone consoles that use the Nintendo 64 controller as a Plug N Play are the ones I’m fine with, they repeat the same games, but those games are really fun and enjoyable.
Your not surprised are you? You think america is the only one making top selling games where we fight other countries? I play games now thinking how do othe countries feel about this game and think there has to be versions out there that are reverse.
Dude I had one of those too! Got it at a fair. It said 100k games but a lot of them were the same game named differently.
I mean Japan was the leader of the industry after Atari bit the dust in 1983, and until Xbox entered in 2000 or so. Pretty much that whole period were Japanese software or hardware.
They really did reach out to Disney for a comment about a NSFW romhack some dude made in his basement.
Although I laughed at this video for the obvious reason, I do think what we can take from this is really check what your kids are playing. Working in retail selling video games for 3 years, personally, I saw a lot of parents not care for what they were buying for their kids. And the ones that did really asked questions and even at times asked me to help find gameplay. I feel we tend to ignore the age restrictions printed on games, movies, and music.
I laughed too haha🤣🤣🤣.. more of a troll than offensive.. but yeah watch out for the kids
True. Like pls pay attention to what you're getting!!
People are weak and lame these days. I grew up by the age of 7 watching hardcore horror and gore films along with video games. Everyone around me did and they all turned out fine. But the kids who’s parents were strict. Well they all grew up to be in relatable boring weirdos.
notice how they're not complaining about the real games that are in the system of bootleg material they bought for cheap. If you fly the pirate flag, you get into trouble once in awhile
Why is it whenever a parent wants to be cheap they forget how to read a package
this actually was found much earlier a few years ago in 2019 and 2020 where parents bought the same bootleg console knowing it was counterfeit and encountering the questionable rom hacks
these bootleg Nintendo consoles have been around for decades at this point but I assume the only reason NBC is now reporting on it is cause of the content in question with this specific bootleg console

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.
I find it interesting she still gave it a 4 star review on Amazon.
I think that was someone else.

How is this item being sold on Amazon & Walmart? In terms of the IP/pirated content, not the “adult” content. I would think Nintendo (and others) would take legal action to stop it
people are too stupid to notice a difference.
There's a whole black market through 3rd party retailers on Amazon and Walmart, I don't know how they haven't been shut down over it, maybe facilitating the sale of illegal goods is only a crime if one isn't a wealthy mega-corp.

+ Perfectly fine with exposing children to discriminatory and sexual context at schools and libraries, often overlooking/ignoring/denying that fact
This checks out
Why are walmart and amazon even selling these if the console knock offs are illegal?
scam sellers manipulate the system with multiple accounts. they have their ways of doing it without amazon even knowing
Because they are not illegal. It's a knockoff device. Bootleg and pirated games are illegal, but the games are usually renamed and slight changes are made to the colors of iconic characters.
