i'm not sure how true that is - it seems very very strange that they'd stop distribution of games that - even if they were based on stolen content - were at least programmed from scratch, when all their handhelds bar the NJ Pocket are loaded full of straight-up stolen games and they still sell those openly.[/quote]Nanjing and other companies generally don't care about multi-carts. They are a dime-a-dozen and can easily blend into the crowd - Especially if they are just generic Chinese label. The problem with their remakes is that they are considered rather collectible and unique. To the point that they get visible coverage in the news, gaming websites, and other places *outside* of China, with a big red arrow pointing back to them.
Now I'm not saying you can't find direct links back to these companies in other ways, but obviously when your visibly hurting a current IP directly, companies are much more likely to go after you rather than just a run of the mill pirating of games that were releases ages ago.

Hmmm... I wonder if I can leech out a game list of him.
Also it's weird that they stop selling their games...[/quote]<Shrugs> I Don't think it's strange, but that's what I heard from suppliers anyway. But it seems to be pretty accurate as I've had trouble finding some items.
BTW: I used to have a full catalogue list of all the games they sold with serials. I dunno where it is now unfortunately (doh!).
There was a forum post from a Nanjing developer (translated by Barver somewhere on here) where he mentioned there's not much money in new Famicom stuff anymore - that might be another factor in them stopping production. I could see it being a bit of both though. Plus their RPGs kind of naturally limit themselves to the Chinese market, whereas they can (and do) sell those crappy handhelds all over the world.
As for a game list, the one on the wiki is looking pretty good these days :D

Oh yeah, I forgot I took the base list from CinnamonPirate back then... :D
Do you think this guy has ROM files of the games? I mean, I kinda advertise them with the endings.
Yeah he probably would have access to ROMs, unless only their development team had them and they all left. But I doubt he'd hand them out, even with your free advertising - publicity in the West is exactly what they don't want, after all :D
