Pic related is a device that connects the Super Famicom to a Barcode Battler, a handheld console where players can swipe cards to fight each other with different characters.

I always wanted to get ahold of a TurboFile. It's an external memory drive for the FC that a few games supported such as Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari. There was a version for the SFC as well

>The Turbo File devices from ASCII Corporation are external storage devices for saving game positions on various Nintendo consoles. The devices have been sold only in Japan, and they are mainly supported by ASCII's own games.
So this thing was basically a way to get save states before SNES emulation? Not bad.

Don't forget the Barcode Boy, a similar system for the Game Boy. Had its own games instead of interfacing with a barcode battler. If you watch GCCX one of the seasons featured Barcode Battler as a B-segment.

Pic related is a Saturn floppy disk drive. Supported by like, 7 games? Including Panzer Dragoon Saga, interestingly. Just for save data backups mostly but I think it's neat as hell.

I remember the barcode battler, you could even scan the barcodes of household items as well as the cards to see if - for example - a can of soup could beat a bottle of bleach. I didn't realise they made a SNES interface too.

Not really. More like a memory card that works with a handful of games. Some copiers had actual save states though. Which didn't work with a lot of games as well.

This. It gave you benefit of transferring your save data to another game cartridge. Pretty convenient in RCR, which had 2P co-op.
