Neo Double Games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Neo Double Games is a portable electronic games console, which takes its appearance from the Nintendo DS. It is made by the same Chinese company that produces the Popstation and is sold in flea markets in Europe and China. The box, however, is largely based from the PlayStation Portable rather than the Nintendo DS. Although it has two screens and looks otherwise fairly similar to the DS, the two screens are interchangeable game cartridges. These game cartridges are swapped to change between the different games, such as a soccer game and a game labeled "Street Fighter."

The console has come to light due to a review by the comedian 'Dr. Ashen'. In said review, it was demonstrated that the manufacture was of poor quality and the games were almost identical and equally difficult or impossible to play. The Neo double games console has also appeared on eBay where it is being sold for between five and ten pounds.

The Neo's Screen, despite being called "color" is in fact only a three color screen, consisting of Green, Red and White. The console is ultimately a Game and Watch console, as all the screen consists of is symbols, which are in predefined areas of the screen which simply light up when required.

It is interesting to note that Nintendo have not pursued the manufacturers of the Neo Double Games, as the console can be misinterpreted, most likely intentionally, to be a cheap version of the DS. The logo that is featured on the front of the box bears resemblance to the real DS with the words substituted as required.

The company has also made a delight version, which instead takes its appearance from the Nintendo DS Lite.
