"Pikachu5" (Pikachu Wonder Rabbit?)
forgotusername:
Fairly recently, a bootleg plug & play was produced called the Game Station 5 (or "GS5"); modeled after the PlayStation 5. I've known of this console for a while now; but watching videos, it clearly just had that one overabundant 200-in-1 menu (with a basic Nice Code-Inventor mix), just with the first 40 or so games replaced with actual NES titles.
Apparently, however, there are two Game Station 5 models; one with the 200-in-1, and a seemingly less common 1280-in-1 (model no. "NX-85"). Judging by video footage, on the 1280 game model - thrown in the "Etc. Game" category at #305 - is a game labeled "Pikachu5".
Pikachu5 appears to be the long-lost Pikachu version of Wonder Rabbit; which I've... literally been actively trying to find for like, half a decade. The preview image definitely looks like Wonder Rabbit (matching colors etc.), and shows a Moai head which is visible in Wonder Rabbit's CHR data. However, I can't find any videos of the Pikachu5 game being played; and the console itself, while common-ish, poses the risk of me accidentally buying crappy 200-in-1 versions trying to obtain it.
Does anyone here have further information on "Pikachu5", be it from owning this console or somewhere else? Picture of menu attached (sourced from https://youtu.be/0QWX8AZDc8s).

The PnP has been sent to TeamEurope for dumping, but they reported difficulty reading the ROM content, so they have forwarded it to Sean Riddle.

Thank you for securing the console. Here's to hoping the dump is successful; but I'm glad the game is now properly documented in the first place.
Tygerbug:
I'm interested in this and have tentatively sourced the "Game Station 5 1280-in-1" just in case.
