Anyone see this anywhere? it's like the Atari 10-in-one joystick. Saw it at KB for $9.99 I think today.

Assuming that you are talking about the Intellivision Direct to TV 25-in-1 or 10-in-1, here are some helpful answers from the Blue Sky Rangers themeselves...
Are the games fully emulated?
- No. The hardware in the controllers is based on the classic Nintendo game system. The games have been reprogrammed for the hardware.
What changes have been made?
- We've worked to keep the games as close to the originals as possible, but some compromises had to be made. Two-player only and voice games were left off of the controllers. Also, legal restrictions kept us from including some of the classic games that were based on movies or arcade machines. Is it right for you? As Jayson Hill says in his review: "These things may really bug someone who devoted many long hours to mastering the games of the Intellivision back when it was a new system. For everyone else, they are just going to have fun."
It should give you an idea... and www.intellivisionlives.com/retrotopia/direct2tv.shtml lists all the games for both if you are interested.
My simple answer to your question is: no. :)
