50 in 1 Game Controller Nes?---Anyone know what I'm talking about?
I saw this at the mall and can't
seem to find it anymore. Hopefully, someone can tell me what the name of it is.
1) It's basically in the design of an X-Box/PS2 controller
2) Hooks up to any TV with audio/video cables.
3) The games are stored in the controller.
4) Mainly consisted of old NES games
including Super Mario Brothers
5) Ran for about $49.99 (or less)
I know it isn't the same as the Intellivision 25 in 1 controller.
The controller I'm looking for definately had NES games.

I have one called the "ProTech 64" that I picked up at the mall music store (it's now an FYE) about a year ago.
It has 50 games, including some Nintendo titles like Ice Climbers and Balloon Fight, but no Mario games. I think Nintendo probably protects the Mario rights a little more so they can keep re-releasing the old Mario games on GBA.
Also, the game count is inflated, because they have some half-assed selections where it just jumps to a single track and field event, but they call it a separate game.
I bought it on sale for about $15 or $20.
Probably costs less now, if you can find it.
Here's a link with pics and game info:

I also saw one in a mall that looked like a PSone with a cart slot under the disc cover with a N64-sized cart in it full of NES games on it. They had Contra going. The vendor wanted $60 for it.

I saw the Power Joy III and it had mario going. I really don't see how this is legal.
I think this is much worse than emulation since people are actually making money off of it.
