Nintendo Famicom Review-Part 7 (Super Mario Bros. 3)

[famicomdork]

Hey, nice reviews Bibleteen! I have a few things to tell you about the Famicom though...

You can still use the Famicom R/F switch on an American TV, but it takes a certain amount of knowledge to set it up.

If you want your Famicom's A/C Adapter to have a longer life in the U.S, get a Stepdown converter that converts the Famicom's voltage to American voltage...also, for that matter..you can use other power adapters such as the Turbographx16 adapter. I, too have a Famicom and a FDS and I love it

I'm using a genesis model 1 power adapter for my famicom. Output 10v DC.

[famicomdork]

Well yeah, there are so many different power adapters you can use. The best option is to just get an original one and use a stepdown converter.

[zeldajunkielol2]

True.

how come the games are in english if the famicom was made for japan?

[DantePeeks]

because english is "cool"

[Bibleteen]

Hi wdp1024,

I read about Japan in an encyclopedia a couple of years ago, and I found out that in Japan, Japanese is the official language, and English is widely used in commerce.

I hope this answers your question.
