We’ve seen many NES cartridge mods before (clocks, hard drives, speakers, etc.) but this is the first time I have ever seen a complete NES system modded into a cartridge. You have to see the pictures to believe this one. Thanks to GJSNeptune for the link to this one.
 
Not only is that "Super Bros. 5" really weird, but so is the game catridge itself. It doesn't look like any NES catridge I've ever seen and certainly doesn't look anything like the catridge the system is modeled after.
 
That is what the famicom games looked like, they didn't have the exact same catridges that we had for the NES.

Steve missed up in calling it a complete NES system as it isn't the NES but is the famicom which was the japinesse version of the NES. They are not exactly the same thing, but are close.
 
yeah, NES-on-a-chip design explains it, once I looked close I noticed the controller ports were DB-9 instead of NES proprietary......... so that cart is probably a 93zillion-in-one with like 45million variations of each game........... I had one I got in NYC, it sucked because the controller was so bad......... But gameplay wise, it seemed like what I remembered..............
 
Ever see those "101 Games!" built into a controller with a composite out RCA cable to hook it up to the TV? That's what this is. This guy didn't hack in an NES system into a cart, he hacked in one of those crappy multi game bootleg rom systems into an NES cart. The one I was gifted here has that exact same "Super Bros 5" game in the rom. It's a scrubbed version of Mario Bros 2 (USA) to remove official titles and nintendo copyright info. It also included several other scrubbed NES roms, such as Gradius.
