Famicom Mini is the Japanese market. Probably more for collectors. Could not find it for less on ebay ~$230 for local stock. Has some games not on the US/EU original about 8 of them.

USD 109.99

Can be modded to English
https://www.reddit.com/r/nesclassicmods/comments/6dnd03/tuto…

The controllers are hard installed to the console but there is 2 of them and they are smaller.
RRP and could be hard modded to use the standard mini nes controller.

YMMV but hakchi2 could unlock it.
Decent as you can have a unique looking console but scalpers probably cannot be bothered with the mods. :)

    Good deal for collectors. If I am not mistaken there were a number of game options that were different than the english counterparts - though you would have to speak japanese still.

          mannnnn river city ransom! Would be hard work playing it in japanese though, all the items in the shops!!

      • whirlpool_guy on 09/08/2017 - 09:37

        Downtown Nekketsu Koushin Kyoku in 4 players mode was so awesome

      • HADOUKEN on 09/08/2017 - 09:44

        River City Ransom was released on NES under the name 'Street Gangs' IIRC. Remember playing it when I was a kid. That, Mario 3 and Battletoads.

        • richy_o on 09/08/2017 - 13:42

          I had street gangs it was the best! They re-released it on gameboy advance under river city ransom advance. It's crazy there's heaps more techniques to learn and more gangs and weapons. Pretty fun

    Can I plug in my old Famicom game cartridges? How about my disk drive?

    • TakaHas on 08/08/2017 - 14:00

      No as the red flip is cosmetic and the famicom mini probably about the same width as the cartridges.

    • smartazz104 on 08/08/2017 - 14:00

      No and no.

        Dreamcast, yes, but only games which support the VGA adapter (640x480 resolution).
        Amiga - not yet, but a HLE Amiga emulator for dreamcast is being developed, which will work on this console.

      Its an ok trade off if you missed out on the NES Classic.

    no microphone in the controls

    • Wallace on 08/08/2017 - 14:16

      I remember the mic on the red controller even with volume control but I still have no idea what the hell it was for.

      • [Deactivated] on 08/08/2017 - 14:40

        Zelda is probably the most popular game that you use the mic for, along with Takeshi's Challenge

    I'm really disappointed…

    I had a super famicom when I a kid… I had the disk drive and so many games… i had cartridges from Vietnam and HK. 60 games in 1 and 150 games in 1… this was the original Nintendo.

    i played shinobi, super Mario brothers, tetris, ice climbers, donkey kong, we threw it out many years ago because it stopped working.

      Super Famicom wasn't the original Nintendo. Would be like me saying Xbox 360 was the original Xbox.

  • altomic on 08/08/2017 - 15:12

    there are original famicoms for sale on ebay for less than this e.g. $70 if you're in to the old school collecting.

      "original famicoms for sale on ebay" then you proceed to link to a dual led charging adapter on Ali Express

      you can buy Famicoms in Japan for around $10 in pristine condition

          I was there in June and spent a good number of hours searching out Famicoms and old games systems and the cheapest for Famicoms was around 5000yen. next gen famicom ~4000yen, playstation 1 from 500 yen, xbox 360 from 500 yen

        • mskeggs on 09/08/2017 - 09:47

          Many current, and lots of future TVs don't have AV ports.

          EDIT: So I looked harder, and the web says one of the component ports will usually accommodate composite video. I'll try this next time I take the kids to Grandma's as their TV has no A/V and we have a couple of A/V game devices I didn't think were compatible.

  • Smigit on 08/08/2017 - 16:30

    Worth keeping in mind the controller cables are about three inches long, so it's not great for all setups. At least the NES Classic cables could be unplugged and extension cables used. It'll work if you're ok having it sit on a coffee table or whatever close to you.

    Ordered on the 8th. Arrived on 23rd. The true-to-ratio mini controller gave me handcramps after a session of Ninja Gaiden.
