Surprisingly, it plays my Japanese import copy of Castlevania III which won't run properly on anything else I've tried. At first I couldn't get the cartridge port to work, but then I realized it's for Famicom games only, and you really have to jam it in tight or it won't connect.

Even if I don't get my money back, these people will be arrested and stopped from ripping off some other unsuspecting grandmother. There's no sense in contacting management at the Mall because they'll just make them move and they'll just go somewhere else. If everybody did that, maybe these criminals could be caught sooner? I'd rather DO something about the problem than just talk about it! I just got ripped off for $70, but the first person I contacted was the FBI, then the tv station, then Nintendo.

It looked fun when I saw it in the store, but when I took it home I realized super mario bros was discolored, there was alot of white pixles everywhere fucking it up, the picture was streached, and the controller hurt my hand. Which sucked... But I still like it, and it's lasted years with me and I still play it and stuff.... it was fun. Oh that damn nes port wont work. i bet its just there to look good Heh, I think i got riped off by the price of $70 for one of these.

Yonathan was probably deported to Israel becase he probably isn't an American citizen. And you're right -- if he sold other crap too, in addition to the "Power Player," I wouldn't be surprised.

Anyway, Nintendo must really be cracking down to prepare for the Revolution's release...

I never got the NES catridge slot to work, and the games it came with didn't all play properly. It was crap. I wonder how much money Yonatan made in sales. Couldn't have been very much.
