  • LOL! One of the awesomest videos I've ever seen on YouTube. Subscribed! You rock!

  • @sorcerykid Thanks! And there's tons more where that came from; check out the whole channel!

  • EXCELENT WarioWare reference. Very obscure, too. I doubt most people here got it.

  • @SeanOrange thank you very much for the video, it definitely helped.

  • can someone please go into deeper detail of how to get this to work on an american tv please

  • @Scout322 Absolutely. We have another video on just exactly that. I'll send you a message with the video attached (it's called "Famicom Hookups").

    Please feel free to comb our archives here on YouTube, or check out the website at FamicomDojo(dot)TV for more great videos!

  • How much memory could a Famicom disk fit?

  • @Damauveropolis I'm pretty sure we say in the video, but it's 56KB on each side of the disk for a potential total of 112 -- which include any space needed for game saves.

  • does the famicom work on 1080p tvs

  • @animegamer66 Sure does! Check out our Denshimail about "Famicom Hookups" right here in this channel!

  • 5:20 Or You Could Put Computer Programs Onto It. :D

  • Where did you buy the famicom and all the games?

  • @USattackattack Originally it was back in 2006, but I'm adding to the collection all the time. If you watch our Akihabara Haul video for Tokyo Game Show 2011 (in this channel), you can see a BUNCH more stuff I just got last month! ;)

  • Famicom looks awesome!! I loved the shape and design of that console. The Disk System was a great idea. From that add-on came out for first time, great games like: Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania (the first Castlevania. It actually came from Famicom and not from Arcade or MSX), Super Mario Bros. 2 (the Original & Only SMB 2). Greetings from Mexico. Sorry my bad english

  • Whoa! NES and FAMICOM can speak?

  • When you went to botcon this year, by any chance did you meet a Doctor Who Cosplayer?

  • Those types of disks are the same type they used to use with certain electronic typewriters.

  • exuse me but wrecking crew is a mario game

    not a zelda game

  • @jrmommy Excuse me, that was a joke. :P

  • @SeanOrange hey when u died there did you say snake or was it the game?

  • @mehpipi It was me saying it through the Player 2 controller microphone on the Famicom. ;)

  • @SeanOrange thats awsome :))))))))

  • @jrmommy I can't even fathom how stupid you sound right here, he was looking for a zelda game, and got wrecking crew instead, I can't tell if your just stupid, didn't hear right, or just trolling.

  • @jrmommy Don't know if troll or srs.

  • press 6 repeatedly to annoy people with the power of "I"! >:D

  • Awesome!!!!

  • NES IS THE BEST!!!!!!!

  • These Famicon Dojo videos are funny and informative. Subbed.

  • @Pichu441 Thanks! We're working on a new one right now.

  • Fascinating stuff. I just imported a boxed Disk System from Japan that I were planning on using with my American NES2 through a pin converter. I might import a classic FamiCom later if I can find one that have been modded to output A/V. That would be best as the NES2 don't support that expanded sound... I bought a "sealed" Metroid and SMB2 with the disk system for the moment.

  • You look like that dude from Scrubs.

  • Umm, why is the Popeye game in english ? I thoguht this was a Japanese game

  • @joelcr250 Many games with minimal text have English in it. Sometimes it's because these games are released in both Japan and the US, and they only have to make one version. Sometimes it's just because English is "cool", and every Japanese schoolchild has to learn it from grade school onward.

  • oh well ,then you no idea what your missing,i cant have all this old crap laying arround,its in my basement,i have no room,plus i have a 50"plasma now and im not going to ruin my tv's with image burn,its awesome my ds with scds2 can emulate most of the old systems,just dont emulate 8 bit on the large screen dsi,it gets image burn too,but i dont have one of those

  • with a suprecard ds2 and something like nesds,im not sure there is an emulator for ds that can word on a flashcard and use the romfiles for the fc dd,i thinf there .fcd instead of .nes,but im not sure,i forgot what the file extention is

  • @bulletproof2353 We don't do emulators, so I couldn't tell you.

  • @SeanOrange ,the mystery port on what ram cart?a port on the fc disc drive?

    so what do you mean it didnt stop people from pirating with their own discs?like ones made for fc dd,or like forcing them into a pc dd?or you mea ueng something like the damedoctor made by bung that i used to have?i wish there was a video of the fc/nes backup unit/copier,im curious as to what it looks like,also is there a way to convert fc dd rom files into regular .nes rom files?i want to play doki doki panic on my ds

  • did someone modify or could they have modded a famicom disc system or used the disc games in a pc to make a rom dump?i thought i heard of someone with a nes backup unit back in the day,like i said i had 1 for snes and i know they had em for genesis/md &ones that could be used on snes/sfc &genesis/md ,but never seen a copier/backup unit for famicom/nes,im curious what it looks like if it exists,&curious how we got nes roms on our pc's from nes/famicom carts,do you know?,u seem like u would know

  • @bulletproof2353 :O !!

    1) The disks were a completely unique size, but that didn't stop people from pirating games for personal use, or -- even worse -- creating or copying games onto their own disks and distributing them that way.

    2) There were no official backup units, although there were 3rd party ones like the one you mentioned.

    3) Someone just mentioned on another episode that the mystery port on the RAM cart could be used to read/write data, so dumps can come from there.

    Cheers!

  • really interesting,yeah u do look like zack braff,so you could just go and copy a game on a disc?so then didnt everyone just pirate games?why buy the game if you could just copy it?and is the disc system compatible with regular 2.5"floppies?or would a fami disc work in pc 3.5"drive?and were there ever any backup units made for the famicom?i had a 32mbit backup unit/copier for my snes,by bung,doctor something,i was wondering how we got nes game dumps/roms,did they come from a nes backup unit or

  • nice job with the description at 0:49 like from Wario Ware Smooth Moves, I wish I still had that game

  • 4:47 もとなが haha

  • @chaofreak8 It's a time lapse video! ;)

    Nah, the tale of the beard can be found in the epic Zach Braff Beard Chicken trilogy (just check my vids starting Januar 2009)

  • @SeanOrange Er, January.

  • @SeanOrange i think januar is actually in another language

  • Fuck the press famicom is the best xD!!

  • Your FamiCom is of the first generation model, that being the ones where the controllers are directly soldered on the circuit board. There were later releases that had controllers that can be unplugged much like the ones on the NES.

  • @JuanMamaril Oh, I'm aware. We'll be getting to the AV Famicom later in Season 2!

  • @SeanOrange Cool! Good luck for that :)

  • @SeanOrange But is that FDS compatible?

  • @Tailikku1 The AV Famicom? Absolutely.

  • fun fact: famicom games can be stored in genesis boxes because they are similar in size.

  • I love the exclamation when the find out that Wrecking Crew is on the Zelda disk.

  • is paying at least 110 dollars for a famicom too much?

  • @wolfenstien9000 As long as it works and is in good condition, that sounds pretty good.

  • @wolfenstien9000 If it comes with all plugs, and it's not too yellow, it's a great deal (assuming it works).

  • Does anyone know where Wrecking Crew fits into the Zelda time line?

  • @akumacornflakes After Skyward Sword

  • 4:33 Is that... Vinnk?!

  • @MarkNESReviews You seem surprised.

  • @SeanOrange Yes I am, with a question. Why did one of the questions say: ''Why haven't we seen Vinnk?'' if I saw him for a couple seconds in this episode? Did some other people (besides me) notice him? To be honest, most people probably did not recognize Vinnk in this episode...

  • @MarkNESReviews Yeah, I guess not. Things were kinda wild and up in the air in the early days. Now Vinnk INSISTS on being in episodes! :O

  • @SeanOrange Is that a good or a bad thing?

  • @Vinnk THE BEST thing.

  • Was Duck Hunt on the Famicom? If so, how did it work?

  • @TheMarioMan1 The Famicom had its own version of the Zapper, but it was shaped like an actual six-shooter. Even with the more lax toy gun rules in the '80s, there's no way that would fly in the US!

  • Dude I LOVED your WarioWare Smooth Moves references. Hilarious! Also rewritten Zelda game hilarious.

  • I enjoyed this FAR more when the nerd wasn't actually on screen trying to be witty, which, of course, he wasn't...

    NERRRRRRRDS!

  • EPIC FAIL! Wrecking crew on a Zelda disk? WTF?

  • OMG Popeye I remember this game!!! I used to play it on the ps1. I had a 500 NES Games CD ! :D Those were good times

  • hahaa wrecking crew! sounds like a pretty wierd game hahaha

  • Great video, but I would never buy the dvd. I just saw it for free lol

  • The DVD has commentary, specials that aren't available for free, and improvements/glitch fixes from this version. It's also higher-quality.

    It'll also be a FANTASTIC encouragement for us to make more. ;)

  • How do I buy it and does it Ship Internationally?

  • Check out FamicomDojo(dot)TV and click on the big DVD! There's an international shipping option under PayPal (it's the one at the very bottom). You can choose international shipping for Amazon, but theirs is WAY more expensive!

  • Yay Metroid!

  • You did get poned! HA!

  • lol Snake! Snake!!!! Snake!!!!!!

  • wrecking crew was my second NES game, my mom bought thinking it was mario, i actually tought it was a good game back then, now i just played on an emulator (i had forgot the name and this video just showed to me) and, it's ok, not as fun as i remembered but ok

  • all dogs go to heaven 3

  • lolz floppy diskette

  • THE GUY FROM SCRUBS

  • Man, you're frickin hilarious. I loved watching this, unlike most of those people who try to post videos like this- which make me want to bash my head against the wall

  • @zskabe13 it's informative, and well presented which means I certainly enjoyed this fine post

  • how did you get the sound from the microphones?

  • The same way that I get sound from any of the game videos we show: it all comes through the sound channel.

  • 3:33 made me laugh out loud in real life....freaking hillarious

  • I have a question. I see alot of famicoms without those FF looking symbols on the left side of the front 0:53 and I was wondering why that is.

  • i was wondering the same thing. thats a really good question

  • I looked into it and the logo means Famicom family but I still don't know why some don't have the logo.

  • I think those are for the newer Famicoms. There was at least one hardware update during its lifecycle. I was able to verify this when we tried to fix a TV/GAME switch, and it didn't have the same internal workings.

  • aha, thanks.

  • thanks sean!!! for the quick reply...

  • How can the consoles talk?

  • I imagine their parent taught them.

  • LOL XD Sure!

  • i was wondering about somethinf if you have a YOBO FC that only plays famicom games do you think the disk system will work on my YOBO or would i have to buy a famicom and a disk system for it to work. i do have a review of my famiclone. on you tube. so please look at it if it will give me a better idea.

  • We will be addressing Famiclones sometime this season, although perhaps not the YOBO in specific -- I'll have to check with Vinnk.

  • I'm not sure about Yobo's that only play famicom games, but I do have a Yobo nes clone, and a 72 to 60 pin converter. Using those, my disk system does not work, I get a battery error code, however, plugging it into my famicom it works fine, or it did until the cheapo belt I bought started giving an error 22 message. Thought that might be helpful.

  • I know a nes 2 works with the fds.

  • Thats brilliant on metroids save screen.

  • how did the people change the zelda game to wrecking crew?

  • By using one of the Disk Writer kiosks that used to be found all across Japan, which I mention at 5:24.

    The DVD version of this episode was updated with a photo of one of these kiosks.

    A scaled model of one can also be seen in the new Denshimail - Rare Games episode we did recently.

  • snake? snake? SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! THAT WAS GENIOUS!!!

  • lol owned :P

  • I can't wait for new episodes of this! When are they coming out?

  • I'm editing the very elaborate into to Season 2 right now! :O

    The rest? Well, it's hard to say. We're trying to work ahead this year so we don't have huge gaps in between the episodes again. We're working hard, though!

  • zelda on castlevania...i lol'd

  • ya pro job at it.

  • Wow this is great stuff man, also, WarioWare intro for the FamiCom made me fall out of my chair laughing XD

  • Thanks! We aim to please.

    Keep watching for new stuff soon.

  • Wrecking Crew is the most underrated game in the Zelda series xD

  • @cheetah672 Also The Legend of Zelda is the most overrated game in the Castlevania series. Great game, but too much attention! I think...

  • LOL 2:20

  • 3:33 hahahahahah WHAT ????!!!

    ahahah sweet

  • he looks like he related to spoonyone

  • Holy crap he DOES look like Spoony.

    Twin brothers separated at birth, maybe??? :P

  • 3:24 jajajajajajajaajajaja

  • how do you find bilnk Disk for the famicom

  • I don't know, but you could find a non-blank disk and wave a magnet over it...

    On second thought, DON'T do that...

  • "I got PWNed!"

    that's hilarious

  • You look like JD from scrubs.

  • oh my god

    he does

  • Check out my other videos, and you'll see my Zach Braff Beard Chicken Challenge! :O

  • Hey, I'm looking for a cheap famicom disk system... Does anybody knows where i can buy one really cheap (The cheapest I saw was on japangamestock)

  • Define cheap? I'm honor-bound to mention RisingStuff (dot) com.

  • Didnt saw it, I just bought one on ebay:P I need to wait 6-8 weeks though... XD

  • NES: Hey man I'm new around here.

    Famicom: (In Japanese) I'm Famicom, it's nice to meet you.

    NES; What?

    XDDDDDD

  • Hi, why is that famicom got the Famicom logo in the left front of the console name, and some dont?

  • Good question! Off the top of my head, the logo means that the Famicom was manufactured later.

  • do you know the exact inner and outer diameter of the Famicom ac adapter plug?

  • 5:37 XD

  • rofl anake snake SNAKE!!!! thats the best

  • Well I'm surprised, the show is actually quite good. Of course, it's done more in an educative purpose. Consolevania it ain't but it surely isn't the 1UP show.

    Keep it up!

  • I thought that Donkey Kong was made as a replacement for a planned Popeye game that fell through...Did I hear wrong?

  • You must have: both Popeye and Donkey Kong were clearly released (and were arcade games).

  • Now I remember properly: Nintendo recycled unused Popeye cabinets for Donkey Kong.

  • Actually it was recycled Radarscope cabinets

  • lol talkin n-consoles

  • the belt in my disk sys is broken and turned to goo.

  • lol "snake? snake? snakee!"

  • Best use for the Famicom microphone ever.

  • you said it lad

  • you could also yell into the microphone to kill certain enemies on Legend of Zelda

  • Yup! We demonstrate this sweet power in Episode 5.

  • Thank you! I found the FC channel! do you know the voltage?

  • I'm also curious about this, as I myself will be getting a Famicom too.

  • I had a famicom one time... the 1 game I had was mario 2(really not doki doki panic), but it was castlevania, so I yelled Bullshit to it and sold it on ebay to some japanese guy for like 200 bucks

  • funny stuff....loved it. lol pwned Zelda...

    +5 & subscribe

  • Hey SeanOrange, have you ever noticed that the American version of the SNES has some similarities to the Famicom?

    It has the power and reset buttons on the left and right sides, with a cartridge ejector in the middle, I didn't notice that until I bought my SNES a few days ago.

  • Yeah. It's weird that they redesigned it at all for the US, since the Super Famicom is so similar.

  • Just wondering- Is there any way to fix

    ERROR 27 for famicom disk system disks?

    I got a dokidoki pirate and it gives me error 27, but Kid Icarus disk works fine.

  • you might have to replace Doki Doki Panic, because maybe the readable part got dirty...

  • Fantastic video(especially love the Warioware bits and the talking Famicom)!

    And the best thing about being a year late is there's already a whole swathe of them to plough through!

  • Too true -- and there are even more coming down the pipe!

  • I wish I had a Famicom, they look pretty snazzy.

  • Does the Famicom have any sort of locking device that secures the disk system in place when it's being attached to it, or is it just loose?

    I notice that most other consoles (IE Genesis etc); have a port that you connect the attachment into for security.

  • Nope, nothing like that. I usually place my Famicom atop the Disk System because it fits very nicely, but since the only connection between the devices is the RAM cartridge there's no reason to do this. You can put them side-by-side or whatever you want.

  • Actually, Hudson released an accessory that held the Famicom and the Disk System together. (It pops up on eBay from time to time.

  • I believe you're thinking of the Twin Famicom developed by Sharp.

  • nice review mate i subscrived to u

  • Great vids ! What does 4 color rebellion refer to ? I thought it may of referred to old US comics, which used only 4 colors in their comics.

  • That's exactly what it refers to. It began as a comics website, but then grew into a video game site and other general geekery.

  • lol made on my birthday

  • I just got my first 10 lot of disk system games and I'm happy with them! Thanks for the info!

  • Show us more footage of Famicom Disk system games highlighting the difference in sound between the FDS versions of games and their cartridge counterparts.

  • Unfortunately there really aren't that many games that utilized the chip, and those that did often only used it for the title screen.

  • loved the American NES talking to the Japanese Famicom, What?! lol

  • Hey, SeanOrange, More One Question, If I Have A Famicom And A Disk System i Can Insert The Keyboard On The Famicom Expansion Port And A Power Glove On The Famicom Disk System BIOS Expansion Port? YouFind A Expansion Port On The Famicom Disk System BIOS, I Know That Im A Idiot, But Please, Reply My Questions!

  • I'm actually not sure what the RAM cartridge expansion port is for. I don't think it's compatible with the port in the front of the Famicom, but I could be mistaken. I'll consult Vinnk about it, since he has more access to these accessories than I do.

  • Thank You For The Reply!!

  • good info, thanks for making these videos

  • I want a Family Computer sooo BAD XD

    5 supreme stars for this greatness video ;)

  • BAI WAN.

  • lol,

    THIS IS THE WEIRDEST ZELDA GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED!

  • I don't get it, what does "よ!"/"Yo!" mean anyway?

  • Also, does anyone know what the Famicom said to the NES? Reply if u know.

  • lol Metal Gear rox. :)

  • Metal Gear Rex?
