Clearly designed for strictly playing homebrew SNES titles, and definitely not ROMS you’ve acquired from the internet, the new NEO SNES/SFC Myth Cart plugs into your Super Famicom or Super Nintendo console like any standard game cartridge, but does just a bit more. It connects to your PC via USB allowing you to copy ROMS directly to the cart, or copy/backup save game files to your computer, and according to the NEOTEAM it supports up to 99.5% of all Super Famicom/Super Nintendo games. At $169 it will probably only appeal to those who’ve turned their nose up at the Wii’s Virtual Console, or those who still have an SNES hooked up at home… like me.

Back in the day you could buy a special cartridge for your Super Nintendo known as the ‘Super Game Boy‘ that allowed you to play Game Boy titles on your TV. But apparently someone felt that using the Super Nintendo’s controller for a Game Boy game was just too confusing, which led to the creation of this bizarre accessory known as the Super Gameboy Commander. Eagle-eyed readers will notice that it has the same button layout as the Game Boy did, with a few extra ones allowing you to also play Super Nintendo (or Super Famicom) titles with it.

I find it hard to believe that anyone using the Super Game Boy would be jamming Tetris pieces in the wrong places because they were confused by the SNES’s control pad, and I find it even harder to believe that there would still be a market for this thing today. But believe it or not, NCSX is selling them brand new in their original boxes for $19.90.
