The name and looks might be decieving, but inside that fancy and oh-so-colorful box is in fact a famiclone. Note that this was spotted in Mexico though, so the $299 price tag isn't even worth a tenth of that in US dollars.
The "Powerstation" next to it also looks intruiging, but alas, I have no information on what it could possibly be.

A Famiclone? I was under the impression that South America was all about the Master System and assorted clones. Still, all it takes is a few Mexican moms with only a vague idea what game system their kids are asking for to make this thing profitable.
Despite being hellishly bootleg, the "Family Computer" is probably every bit as functional as an actual NES. Possibly even moreso - bootleg Famicoms tend not to be region locked, and some of them come pre-loaded with bunches of equally bootlegged games. The beauty of the old Famicom is that, being a relatively simple bit of electronics, there's less to screw up.
As for the text, it's entirely possible that it was just really bad Japanese. These are Chinese bootleggers we're talking about, here. Japanese is hardly immune to being horribly mangled by some guy with a Chinese-Japanese dictionary and no working knowledge of the actual language.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
