I wish it were still like that with current consoles. In fact, I wish every problem could be solved by breaking something.

Umm... I kinda feel stupid but what is the benefit of breaking the chip?

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad.

Well that's kinda the idea I had , but I would have thought nintendo would implemented something along the lines sega did with the mega-drive by changing the shape of the cart dependant upon region. But I guess not.
