So I freely admit the vast majority of you probably won't think this is cool, but I thought some of you might.

I was digging through some boxes in our storage unit, and I ran across something I bought off a co-worker around 13 years ago when I was a QA tester at THQ.

This is a super famicom that was used for quality assurance at EA. Back then they didn't have specific QA consoles like they do now, so the only identifier for this piece of hardware is thr property sticker on it.

Anyway, I thought it was a neat little piece of history.

Wont work until you purchase the timed released DLC or just buy a season pass for the price of the system itself and get all the DLC for "free".

I kid I kid...

Cool stuff

Last game I was on at THQ was the first Dawn of War.

I love the look of super famicoms.

I have done tons of play testing at EA, the main campus is really close to me.

I'm not a huge fan of Super Nintendo / Super Famicom, but I love imported machines and that one is awesome!

Anyone know the reason behind the SNES redesign for the US market?

as a super famicom collector, that is one awesome unit.
what ever you do don't get rid of it, would be a shame to.
 


also the THQ HQ is like 10 minutes away.  would be cool to think if they have any stuff like this still kicking around. would love to go there and see.

Right? It just looks so much more solid.
