10 Bizarre Games Industry News That Stunned Gamers in 2018
Soulja Boy Game Console Announced
Soulja Boy made a surprising move when he announced via Twitter that his very own console, the SouljaGame Console, was available for preorder.
We all cranked that Soulja Boy back in the early 2000s, but that doesn’t mean any of us wants to crank cash to purchase a video game console from him. It’s not even really a console either, but rather, an emulator.
And even worse, Soulja Boy wants $211.98 for it. According to the listing, the console is made by Chinese company, Anbernic.
Some quick searches online will show you that the SouljaGame is the same console made by Anbernic that can be found on sites like Sears.com for half the price (with a different paint color).
That’s not even the biggest problem with it. Legally, this console is not okay.
It’s not a console like something Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony might produce —it’s an emulator and it emulates games like Mario and Zelda, and much more. Nintendo is likely well aware of this and Soulja Boy can expect the legal arm of companies like Nintendo to come smashing down in no time.
Why Soulja Boy, why?
