I always get so nostalgic at the end when you see Mega Man walking towards the screen with all the seasons shifting. ;__;

Apparently the designers were forced to make the game in between other projects because the first game basically bombed. So when they finished it they were under the assumption that it would be the last Mega Man game. That is why the ending has that somber finality to it.I love the ending. The music and visuals have that beautiful-sadness that I love about Japanese culture.
I want to play famicom games. how do i do that. looks like a famicom toploader will be like $100 ish on ebay.
is there an adapter so i can play them on either model of NES?
edit, i guess i have a retron5 which can play famicom games, but my point still stands
Smash Bros. is gonna bring Mega Man back, just wait for it guys

How much did Quest of Ki set you back? That one seemed to be way more expensive in general than I initially thought it was going to be when looking at listings on eBay.Grabbed some imports off Yahoo Auctions. For some reason the Famicom Wars auction that included a strategy guide was the cheapest ¯_(ツ_/¯
Auction claimed Murasame Castle is new. It does looks like the seal was never broken.

Finally got around to getting an Earthbound Zero repro cart.
Can't wait to play itand eventually quit halfway through the bullshit that is Mt. Itoi
I need to look into getting one for Mother 3 now.
Anyone going to play any 'horror' NES games this October?
I'm entering a covenant to beat Beetlejuice, no matter how shitty it is past level 1.
Looks a lot like the repro cart I got. Did you get it from some Canadian guy?

This Kickstarter should interest people here. New NES game and documentary of its creation. Creators of Shovel Knight and Battlekid are involved.

the first version of the Famicom came with square and rubbery buttons but this was quickly withdrawn as the buttons kept getting stuck. as ever, never buy a console at launch!
Wow, I never knew this. Sounds horrible. And imagine, they're hardwired so you don't even have a choice.
So my son went to a flea market today with my wife, (he's 10) I was working today so I couldn't go and sent me a pic of SMB3 that he picked up for a couple of dollars. I told him good score but it doesn't play on the SNES, only the NES which we don't have. I was going to start collecting for the GBA but now feel obligated to start on the NES. He just downloaded Shovel Knight and seems to enjoy it. I haven't touched an NES since I owned one in the late 80's, so my question is, are there certain model systems I should look for and what is the average price for the system with all hook-ups?
So is any place selling pre-modded RGB Famicoms? Might be looking into it at some point
If you want to play it legit, you get an NES.What is the best and most accurate emulator? I'd like to play Punch Out as legit as possible. Seems like Nestopia is the most accurate one.
I've got Sweet Home boxed on Famicom... How much would it cost for someone to burn the English translated rom onto it?
8bit carts are more difficult to mod. Whereas 16bits mostly are just a matter of burning an eprom and soldering it in place of the original rom, 8bit chips most often were designed to contain the mapper within them. Only a few (usually early) games have the mapper on a separate chip, and only those can be modded.
http://www.nesreproductions.com/ This guy does it, and lists what NES games can be modded. If you want it in your Famicom shell, you'd have to know what Famicom game can be used. The best action would be to contact him directly.
Finding Mario 3 for a couple bucks is a steal nowadays. That being said, i'd just go for a regular normal model nes...maybe even keep an eye out for one at flea markets or thrift stores. Hook ups shouldnt be too expensive since the composite cables are normal cables you could get at a dollar store. I guess if you wanted a great quality one online, 30-50 dollars?
So at some point, I'm going to get an NES. I have a bunch of games for the system, and I really need to figure out a way to play them.
I intend to do an AV Famicom, and get something like this:

I'm going AV because I'd like to collect the cheaper Japanese games, but also have good AV output that doesn't have jailbars. I also doubt I'll really require RGB, but at least this model will support it down the road if I go there.
So my question is as follows:
Are there any incompatibilities if I go this route? I remember reading that some Famicom games don't run on the NES properly due to sound hardware contained in the cartridges or something, but how's the situation in reverse? Will any NES games be impossible for me if I have an AV Famicom and an adapter?
This is exactly the route I went a year ago. Got an AV Famicom and a 72 to 60 pin connector. There's probably a few more, but the only NES game I know of that runs weirdly is Castlevania III. There's almost no reason to play the US version on a Famicom when you have Akumajou Densetsu, though.

Castlevania 3 works fine for me. I think, haven't run it in a long time. Or maybe it had weird graphical glitches sometimes? I'll test later.This is exactly the route I went a year ago.

Ha! Well. Castlevania 3 is actually one of the reasons I want an NES, oddly enough. Is the Japanese version better? I don't need English.

The JP version (Akumajou Densetsu) is the ideal way to play that game. The difficulty curve is fairer and the music is way better technically thanks to dat VRC6 chip.
Huh! Good to know. I guess that explains the price increase too, eh?
