What did he say, I can't read that?
The Honey Bee does indeed exist. i was tripped up by the term "dongle" because it's something I usually only associate with PCs. But after googling a bit more I found what I remembered from the 80s: famicomworld.com/system/converters/honeybee-family-adaptor/
It looks like there were a couple of other models. Not sure what the difference was other than cosmetic. I did not have one because damn if I'd know where to get Japanese games back then.
It's not impossible that even as far back as the NES days some shops were selling Japanese games. Although it's not something I saw myself until the very early days of Saturn where Game Gallery started selling Japanese Saturn games and later Japanese Playstation games.
So I am not sure how common Japanese NES games were in shops. I am from a major city and I didn't really see anything of the sort back then. But I'm sure you could get them if you looked in the right places.
I'm not saying this person is lying. Because the Honey Bee is a real device. Alternatively, some games like Gyromite had an adapter built in that could be taken out. If your game has three screws in the back, there's a Famicom adapter in there and you might be able to get something nice for it on Ebay.
What bugs me here is that this person deleted the post instead of explaining himself further if asked. It's not as if what he did was criminal. Even if Nintendo somehow considered renting out the Japanese version of Mario 3 as breaking street date for the NA release, it's ludicrous to think they'd even give a damn now. And the converters were not illegal either as far as I know. So I have no idea why this person would delete the post if what they were saying is true. Perhaps a "They don't believe me and I can't deal with the negative replies" situation.
Also, he's calling it "Yeah Yeah Beebis" so we have to assume someone translated for him. Possibly a Japanese person as the poster said that they asked for help from Asian restaurant workers. If that Japanese person was not well versed in English then the translation may not look right in English. However, the deleted post really bugs me. As does the fact that it's just too close to the actual legend itself and doesn't really provide any new info. It's a power pad game that wasn't released outside of Japan. That's the path we're already on. I'd love to ask if he ever played it or can verify that the cartridges are the same.
There was that person on the wiki page that claimed they had the game. But conveniently it broke. Because stuff like this always gets broken, lost or stolen so proof can't be posted. I believe that was the person who said it was Ufouria. I don't buy that either. It's too convenient that it broke and was thrown away. I'd buy that if other people had come forward saying they had the game as well. You'd think with Youtube and everything someone would see info about this mystery and provide proof that the cartridge existed. That's why I don't believe the title "Yeah Yeah Beebiss 1" actually appeared on any carts and was some kind of mistranslation regarding another game. Likely Rai Rai! Baby Kyonshi no Amida Daibōken.
