:?:?:?:?:?:?

White is not a fitting color.... and Guitar Idol, hehehehe

Wow, it's even got The Sims 2 on there, amazing!

Oh, dear.

I like my Guitars in Black sorry.

Lets import a shitload and start a cult of 16bit guitar players!

Those crazy Brazilian bastards at TecToy.

What *will* they think of next?

:lol: This looks funny.

The soundtrack and idea sounds kind of fun though. I would like to see a video of the game in action if someone buys it. :)

Duke Nukem Forever!

That sounds even better than the DPad Hero Cover of "Sweet Child of Mine"!

FIXED.

Forgive me for I had momentarily forgotten the ways of the Blast Processing.

It's always good to see new products being released, no matter how unexpected.

We've talked about this... But to the "NEXT LEVEL"

TecToy never ceases to amaze with their Brazilian Sega market and their high-class Treasure Games.

stop it please....

:end:

I've heard some reports that the guitar is not "blast processor" certified (cost cutting measures). So when you use it, the excess of power causes flames to shoot from the head.

O_O

Wow, not good, particularly given the absence of a cartridge slot to vent some of the awesomeness. :cool:

TecToy is going to rule the world!

You heard it here first.

sounds pretty good :p

"Idol Power Pronto!" :D

Why not just release a cartridge? poor Brazilians, they must have like 20 Megadrive's already.


TecToy : oh we managed to create a version of "game" for megadrive, better release it in a standalone console!!!

So the next time some of my friends want to play Guitar Hero, I'll throw their PS3 against the wall and plug in this thing.
Star Power is nothing compared to the epic IDOL POWER PRONTO!

wow....it comes with 87 16-bit titles on there. Crazy stuff. I wonder if it supports downloaded content too like the new Gencore and firecores.

Oh, by the way: déjà vu.

Some footage of the game:

I can't help but think that this is not an actual Sega Megadrive game.

I think its more of a dedicated Guitar Hero clone thingy but with Sega romz as an added bonus.

If I've learned anything from the Zeebo stuff, it's because piracy is beyond out of control in "developing countries" where they sell these systems. In other words, the second it comes out on cartridge, someone dumps the ROM and starts making pirate copies. At least with the games built in they have already made the first and last sale and don't have to worry about what happens afterward.

*tear*

brings a tear to the eye, something about 8-bit remixes of songs just makes me happy.

If I had a kid I would definitely buy this for him. I would never have to pay for a video game again.

The palette looks far too varied to be a Mega Drive game...

This.

No need for multiple threads, so I'm merging this one with the other.

There is no way this is running on the MD side of this system. I bet it's probably native code running on whatever they're using to emulate the MD. I'm actually pretty impressed with the quality.

I wonder if it could be RGB modded. I'd hook that thing up to my Neo cab in a second.

The music sounds too good to be Genesis based.

Tectoy systems tend to be clone hardware (ie real MD derived hardware built into a single chip) rather than emulation, but I suppose they broke this trend here.
