I agree, it is a pretty cool little system. I just wonder why it's the mvs specifically that gets all the fanboy love. I know the cart-based system makes it easier to publish a game for it, but then again there are other cart-based pcbs out there and even some newer cd based ones.

Just as an example... why aren't there tons of playchoice 10 titles being released? NES homebrew carts are pretty popular and yet I haven't seen a single "bootleg" pc10 game.
