you need a honey bee or some other sort of converter. check ebay, they're cheap.


Famicom systems run around $50-70, so if you're pressed, you can just get one of those.

Gamestop sells super 8's which allow for playing SNES/NES/famicom/super famicom games on a super famicom(works on SNES as well, but isn't made to fit the system design)- this costs $69.99

There's the Tristar 64, which is basically a Super 8 for the nintendo 64. its all "rare" now, so you'll be paying over $100 for it.


so if your NES is working fine, just get a honey bee or another converter.Supposedly all the converters work fine, honey bee is just a popular one(if you have copies of hogan's alley and other very old games, they may have a converter inside them)

If it isn't , go for the famicom system or Super 8. whichever you find for cheaper.

THANK YOU:D I checked ebay and I saw plenty of cheap converters. Now all I need to know is where can you buy Famicom games?

http://www.wolfgames.com

actually, a fine site for imports in general.


and . . .


uh. . .


thats it. you'll have to stick to ebay for famicom games as well. Just be smart about what you're buying, and don't get caught in a bid war.



and you're welcome.

funco land sells old games like that but not japanese ones.
