Power Joy Classic TV Game

The Power Joy Classic TV Game console is an unauthorized Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicom clone manufactured by Sinango and was sold in North America. The system resembles a Nintendo 64 controller and a standard Playstation controller. It is the predecessor to the infamous Power Player Super Joy III. The console was manufactured in 2002 and 2003, and is much less common than its successor.

Background

The consoles came with a Famicom cartridge that contained over 70 built-in games. Most of the included games were originally released for the NES or Famicom. Most of the games have had their title screen graphics removed to save space on the ROM chip, not to mention a company logo removal trick for reduced liability.

The console was manufactured in 2002 and 2003. However, it did not gain much popularity and is somewhat uncommon. The Power Player Super Joy III was much more successful.

Unit aspects

• The player 1 controller resembles a Nintendo 64 controller with cartridge slot for most Famicom games.
• Comes packaged with a player 2 controller. It resembles a standard Playstation controller.
• The player 1 controller has a light gun built into it. The trigger is the shoot button.

• Though the Power Player Super Joy's button layout is identical to that of the Nintendo 64 Controller, the buttons have been mapped differently. The C buttons of the N64's controller function as A and B on the Super Joy, the A and B buttons of the N64's controller are Start and Select on the Super Joy, respectively. Finally, the N64 controller's Start button is the Reset button on the Super Joy.
• Runs off either 9 volt (negative tip) DC power-adapter or four 1.5 volt (AA-size) batteries inserted into a box where the N64 memory card would be.
