This is NOT an original Famicon System. This is a remake of the Famicon/NES from the mid to late 90s. It was redesigned to look more like the SNES so that Nintendo could keep selling units.


5 out of 5 stars The Famicom is great system to play your imported Japanese NES games.   April 29, 2010

If you are familiar with the American 8-Bit Nintendo, than you already know what this game system is like. It's the exact same thing as a Nintendo, but it plays imported games from Japan and allows you to use a Famicom Disk System which are usually very hard to find.

Some of the better games for Famicom include Gradius II, Rockman 3 (which is slightly different level designs in 3 levels from the American Mega Man 3), Super Mario 2 (not Super Mario 2 USA [vegetable pickup game]), Ike Ike Nekketsu Ice Hockey Bu (Ice Hockey Challenge unreleased in USA), an easier version of Battletoads, Zelda no Densetsu Hyrule Fantasy (FDS), and Zanac (FDS version).

I highly recommend adding this to your Nintendo collection if you are big into old games or just Nintendo in general. Being a top-loading game system, it has better functionality than the front loading NES which most require blowing into the games now.

The game system itself looks nice, isn't very heavy, and doesn't take a lot of room to store next to your TV. The A/V cable system is genius! I think Nintendo had the plan to make all the game systems use the same A/V cable for every game system to reduce the number of wires hanging around which is actually a good idea. Just leave your A/V wires for the N64, Gamecube, SNES, SFC, and the Famicom just hanging there and swap the game systems out!! Right now, my N64, Super Famicom, and Famicom are all sharing the same A/V cables!

Great system! Fun to play! Nice addition for any Nintendo fan!!!
