Of interest historically (though it will get me booed here) that RF converter port looks (based on the close up) to be the same cable from the Sega Master System and later the one they used for the Model 1 Sega Genesis. You can pick up a reproduction cable like that for about $4.95. If you're in the mood to toy with it, why not risk the $5?

(No booing the guy who knows his Segas.)

@100sonicdash No booing necessary: coaxial RF output for all consoles (and other video devices) are completely interchangeable.

How do you show the Famicoms talking without showing your hands?

[SeanOrange]

@McNubcake We just give them their lines and send an endless supply of microchips to their trailers. ;)

I picked up a Turbo Twin Famicom (AN-505BK) and recieved it a few days ago with Super Mario USA, Akoumajou Densetsu and Super Mario Bros. 2. loving it so far. looking forward to future episodes.

@tom02369 Nice haul!

We have a bunch of Season 2 videos (in HD!), so if this is the last one you've seen you have quite a few more to go! ;)

Why I watch Famicom Dojo? Aside from it being one of the top (if not the top) review shows on the net.. the torrid family history of the Nintendo Consoles.

Will we ever find out who the wife of Game and Watch is? Thus answering the question of who is the real Mother of our console friends.

[shushiroto]

this is probably the only education i actually like

[SuperMiramis]

Good review :-) I have some of the games you are playing but i play Famicom cassettes on a totaly diffrent console. I use a Dendy to play these games. One good thing with the Dendy is that you can remove controllers and place with a new one. The Famicom console you cant do that.

[SeanOrange]

@Bolt2600 Nope: it's much too small to fit the plug for the RAM cartridge, and (as we say in the same breath) exists ON the RAM cartridge itself.

[luigitheracoon12]

@100sonicdash It also looks Like the S-VIDEO port.

[BowserKoopaFTW]

POOF

MUGSHOT

[a7xforever507]

[luigitheracoon12]

The NES 2?

Sharp also made "Famicom titler" which was basicly a famicom with builded vhs subtitler/editor and it also has updated graphical chip which has RGB video output.
