Game Genie for Famicom

[Switchstance]

Ok as far you see in the pic, a Game Genie REALTEK for Famicom console.
My problem is...REALTEK is an official company?
I mean this item is a pirate accesory or it's original?

[kite200]

well, game genie isnt endorsed by nintendo or anything, but its not a pirate. it's an accessory. i think you could get big bucks for that on ebay.

OR you could keep it 'cause the Game Genie is awesome.

My question is : Galoob was the "official" Game Genie, 'cause I see all the adds in magazines and stuff (I sell 55 Gamepro magazines btw)  and Galoob was like "the GAME GENIE" so I bought this one who is the same thing only for Famicom but it's REALTEK. Realtek is a japanese franchise? Or what?
(I don't plan to sell it)

[kite200]

Since it looks so official, and with similar packaging to other game genie products, I am assuming it was just a japanese distributor.

That really works for Famicom games?  The box looks exactly like the NES one, even with the NES game in the pictures.  Also, the manual has the Camerica logo on it.  I've never seen one for Famicom before, but I guess it's possible.  Do you have more detailed pictures?

Agreed. I didn't know there was a Game Genie for the Famicom. Are you sure thats not the one for the NES (72 pins?) Where did you get it?

Ok, tomorrow more detailed pic.
Please don't start to scream like a girl when I type this :

I have two more, for SELL. $10 dollar each. Complete, boxed with Manual.

Ok, let's have some review, the manual says CANADA (weird) it's a 60 pin game genie not modified, not reassembled, it's original por Famicom 60 pin videogame. The manual contains codes for a lot of games and they have some mailbox to send a letter and then you can receive update password (I think that's doesn't work anymore)

I've tested this superbaby in pirates, originales and works really fine. It's really an excellent tool and oh gosh, it's a dream come true have more to sell or to keep it for the posterity. In the pic is mine, opened, the other two are not opened, with the plastic bag closed all with manual, really intact. I'm not trying to selling this, if I must $10 dollars is what it cost me, and they were buyed via internet in some ebay-kind-of-site.

But I think it's not from Galoob, I think some company take the original stuff or make a new stuff and they use the same art as the Galoob company. I dunno. Looks pretty original for me.

Double post for NOTICE.

Ok there's horrible pics that I take today :
They are from MINE. I dunno what contains the other 2, but they are the same so I think they have the same stuff inside, 'cause they are not-opened. They are completely sealed.

Ok let's clear some doubts. Mine as the pic says have two language in one : SPANISH AND ENGLISH. I dunno if the other two come in this way, I don't want to open it to check, 'cause sealed it's more worth for possible buyers.
I receive a lot of PMs from you people asking one, I just have 2 extra, so I sell those to the first two who send me PMs (it's fair) but I don't have paypal account or a VISA card (that's why I'm not selling this on Ebay), I don't know how much in shipping is going to cost seriusly, so some tips are welcome.
So that's it, there you go the pics Mostly I don't plan to sell it, 'cause is nice to see them on my colecction sealed but maybe some people are asking for it.
If you gimme more times I can put a video with the GG working on a Famiclone just to show you how it works.

Regards.

Have you used the codes with it to ensure the codes work?

Yes Sr. some codes does crazy stuff. :S

Cool, man. I've been talking with others about this. Codemasters released the NES Game Genie. Realtec may have bought the rights to the Game Genie from Codemasters to release this for the Famicom. It's known that Realtec released some games developed by Codemasters under the Realtec name. Jbholio thinks Realtec is based in Taiwan, but it's interesting that these are in Spanish as well as English.

Nice find!  I'm betting on non-pirate, because Game Genies are sold in Europe by different distributors as well (Kids Electronics in Italy, Power Games in France, Hornby Hobbies in the UK, and Famosa and Profamosa in Spain and Portugal, respectively).
