wow the square button famicom is really rare. imagine how much that would cost 30 more years from now. awesome dude. by the way i bought a famicom yesterday for Php 100 (about $ 2.25 US) from one of the flea markets here in the philippines. though there are light scratches and minor discoloration, the console is still working perfectly fine. cheers to our dear old friend the famicom for a lot of fond childhood memories and blistered thumbs
@ghiielhan Hey! Thanks for the comment! I love the Famicom to bits! Am still loving it no matter what =) I favor it more than any current generation consoles.. I'm happy to hear that you've found yourself one too after these years! Hope you find some excitement and fun with it! Cheers~
@thegoon02 A typical boxed & complete FC would go for around USD70-80. I got mine off Yahoo Auctions Japan via Shopping Mall Japan, and it was a little cheaper than eBay. It cost me 1200 Yen (final auction price only w/o all the other misc fees calculated yet) for that boxed 1986 FC. The Square button FC was 'pieced' together from 3 different FC lot I got. So it was pretty pricey :P
@The8BitChampion Thanks man. Yeah I try to keep em clean. The original body of the Square button FC was very yellowed and I had no choice but to swap it out with a newer, white one. The pads and internal mobo however, was super clean!!
Many thanks man!! Metroid music gives me goosebumps!! LOL.. Yeah, the square buttons came first back in 83!!! Famicom's first ever incarnation!! She's now my holy shrine..
i sadly have yet to get a famicom.... i want one so bad but its hard since i know what they cost in japan and the price id have to pay to get one to the states.... Great music man!
Thanks man! I was really lucky to find them in that condition. Square button FCs were the very first model that Nintendo made during launch in Japan back in 83. Because many didn't like the rubbery feel of the square button and the mobo were also buggy, Nintendo quickly revised the FC with hard rounded buttons and fixed the mobo issues. Square button FCs are really hard to come by these days especially, virgin, unaltered ones :)
Wicked PhatPhunk, you are the man owning a CIB square button Famicom!!!! I need to get one but they are becoming a very rare find. They both look MINT, I'm very impressed :).
