New famicom release!! Yes!!

Huh? lol. Who the hell made that controller

 

what's up with all the buttons?

 

The buttons represent the ones on the real Pop'n Music arcade game or pop'n Music controller.

Is this for real or a Photoshop job?

Hmm, it should be color coded like the Pop'n Music controller. Me thinkst it is a Photoshoppe Job.

 

I'm ruling out photoshop...

 

i thought it was the revolution controller.

 

you could be right there :smt083

Of course that's a Photoshop jobbie (and if not, some other paint program or a wild customization). Konami does not release Famicom games nowadays; the 3rd controller port is not being used, so for it to have a Pop 'N Music controller it would also have to be a "Pop 'N Music model Famicom" seeing as how the controllers are hardwired to the system; last and least, the power appears to be off on that Famicom.

 

the controller could have hooked up via the expansion port..though unlikely and the buttons arent labelled...the buttons are a slighty darker shade than the d-pad....and look a bit too squared..plus the cart has the old konami logo on it.........but who knows.......there have been weider things

 

Never seen a Famicom actually from 1983?

 

ive seen a famicom before.....not sure bout the connectors or what not...never bothered to really dwell on the subject

 

holy crap!!!!!...wow am i stupid or what.......just relized and remembered that the famicom had a controller port on the front...dammm.......i've been forgeting alot recently......

 

at least the cart conforms to what a konami famicom cart should look like.....according to vidgame.net

 

Not to be rude but: Like how to use the edit button (3 posts in a row)?

 

I've been working with Photoshop for seven years professionally and I can say there's a high likelihood that it's a fake.

Looking at reflections, potential blur points (indicative of a clone stamp), and other areas that would indicate duplication/resizing/other hijinks, I'd say we're looking at a 35% possibility of it being real.

Look at the label at the top of the cart and notice how it isn't 1:1 even up top. The perspective is off, but this could also be due to a crap placement of a label. There aren't any obvious duplications, or reflectivity issues that really stand out at me, however, and that's after throwing it through a few little tests on my copy of CS2. There is one point, on the first row of buttons on the controller on the top-left, that does stand out as a possible clone stamp being used to remove remnants of the black stripe in the top row.

As for normalizing the edit with the original photograph, it's not hard to add noise to give it a more authentic feel.

However, I'd really need another photograph to compare against before returning a solid verdict.

 

It's definitely a VERY good photoshop jobbie.

Not only because it's absolutely ludicrous.
Also check the edges of the cartridge label. And the light reflection of the two center buttons.
I must warn you, though, I'm sort of going blind, so I might be not looking at very good details.

 

The edges could be due to a slight inlay, actually. I looked that over myself. The two center buttons you speak of may have a very similar reflection (as is common with a single light source), but the edges tell me otherwise.

All-in-all, if it _is_ in fact a Photoshopped picture. this person did a good bit of homework before starting on it.

 

yea, im still working my way around the forums.....sorry about that, maybe a mod could fix it, i dunno....wont happen again....

honestly, though, i have a habbit of clicking things and screwing them up...so i try to take it nice and simple

 

I'll help everyone out who doubts this is a Photoshop job with this simple fact: Pop'n Music 7 was released in arcades in 2002, on the PS2 in 2003. Konami never officially released the game for any other home system, and stopped releasing games on the Famicom with the advent of the Super Famicom. So you can sit there and analyze the photo looking for jagged edges, or missed reflections, or whatever else you want, or you could just look at the facts and realize there's no way this could be real. :smt043

Funny, yes.
