The Famicom looks like a toy with that colorful system and multi colored cartridges. I don't understand why the U.S. tried to maket the system as a toy when they made it look like a high tech VCR instead.
@GamerGuideGamerPause Agreed. Why they made the Family Computer look like a V-Tech toy, I don't know. Why The U.S. tried to sell a slick looking box as a toy, I don't know.
I'm guessing this is one of the first, if not the first, Famicom commercials ever? It's really interesting how Japan first marketed the Famicom as more of a mini computer (hence the name) while America advertised the NES as a mini arcade machine.
From what I've heard, you are also correct because this is a recalled (and now rumored to be super-rare) square-button famicom. From what I've read, those famicoms used to randomly freeze and/or have the buttons get stuck.

I'm pretty sure it looked a bit too bright and childish for American audiences, even as a toy.

@bogercs actually... it would be more logical to say that it is the NES's older brother.
