what can you tell me about the famicom?

[275ahadi70]

i really want one, i just want to learn a bit about it before i decide to get one. i only have a few questions about it, but id like to hear any personal accounts using one.

here are my questions:
1)can it play american games? i no the snes can play imports....
2)does it have the same flashing light problem as the nes?
3)how much would one of these run me?

thats all i can think of for now, and i figure cuz there hasnt been a new post for a while, id add one.

oh and any other info about the famicom would be appreciated

[WI-FI]

[WI-FI]

oh, I was beginning to think you were one of those crazy video game collectors :lol:

[275ahadi70]

heh, me too. i want it for playing purposes, not for collectors value. i just want to have some friends over, they see it and ask what the hell it is.

and seriously, we got shafted for looks when we got the nes, its like shoe box! i love the thing, dont get me wrong, but the famicom is just that much sexier :P
