Here, post your irrational and silly complaints.
- This forum has about 1-3 new posts per day. SEGA's forum fulfills that amount in about 30 seconds. One's too slow and the other's too fast!
- There is no such thing as a P2 mic turbo controller!
- My copy of Battletoads has to be the Japanese version, because a non-AV Famicom has a P2 mic controller.
- NOACs can't run Castlevania 3.
- Mr. Gimmick is so good but so EXPENSIVE
- Because of Mr. Gimmick's sound chip it's hard to find pirates of it.
- This post is too long!
Famicom Disk System belts were made from chewing gum and spite.
I'll find Bigfoot before I find a CRT TV for sale.
What audience was the FC Transformers game aimed at?
People are cannibalizing Block Sets to complete their Stack-Ups!
Why is the Japanese Game Boy in NES colors?
There are like 2 dozen N64 consoles, why no FC/NES versions?
My Famiclone came with awesome controllers... that despite having the correct button layout, unfortunately label button B as A and vice versa.
I second the complaint on the Famicom Disk System belts, and it ruins the machine for me. :(
My complaint would be slow post office workers. You know, the ones that poke and chat with their friends and everything else, when you just want them to shove the package through so that you can arrive to work on time.
More irrational and silly complaints:
I NEVAR GOT A HONG KONG FAMICOM AND NOW I CAN'T PLAY IN PAL MODE
There are so many 4-in-1s that cannibalize themselves. If I had the cartridges I want i'd have 3 copies of Super Contra.
Really irrational complaint:
The Coach Z talker on Homestar Runner is not reachable via a secret code in the Strong Bad talker. No instead we get a strong bad main menu that should have been accessible from the actual main menu.
New pirate 3-in-1 globtop multicarts can't be OE -> CHR/RD pin 17 hacked.
How the heck could I know where is the OE trace ???
Why is there no third-party P2 mic controllers for the NewFamicom?
Why the hell is Figuarts Luigi 25% more expensive than Mario? And why are the add-on packs exponentially more awesome?!?
Retro Game Camp has GIMMICK CiB for 98,000 yen! They may as well light the thing on fire, because that sucker's out of circulation!
Why does every second-hand game store in Tokyo have 15+ copies of Dragonquest IV?
What's up with only the BACKS of SFC carts turning yellow?
WHY DID NINTENDO HATE END LABELS! I'm frankly surprised they put them on their CD-based games!
What's with Gamecube discs being TINY? Why did Nintendo completely HATE standardized media ANYTHING until 2006?
Were ANY of the NES "Zapper" games set in the future? The Famicom Gun makes WAY more sense.
How did all those TERRIBLE NES (and Famicom) peripherals get released? U Force? Are you kidding me?
The 3D Classics were awesome! But why no Mario, Zelda, Metroid, or *any* of the other mainstays?
Why do SNES RPGs cost less than the SFC versions, shipping, and Rosetta Stone? ;)
At least three different versions released, and they never did anything about those blasted disk belts on the Twin Famicom?
Wait, new 3-in-1s can't be modded? Nooooooo! Has anyone made a pin converter for this?
I agree with the 3DS Classics having no Metroid or Zelda or anything....why??
Also, why can't North America's Virtual Console have more games on it? Just get the ROM and put it on the shop...is that so hard?
Why can't I play my Wii Virtual console games on my Wii U AND 3DS without buying them multiple times?
Why is there no more online for DS and Wii games? What if I feel like playing online or getting DLC for old games? I guess it's too bad..
So that means that there's only online games for Wii U and 3DS. I can't name more than 10 online games on Nintendo systems.
I think these complaints were completely rational.
Yeah, this is this is starting to turn into "Rational and legitimate complaints thread".
How many copies of Super Mario Bros. do you own? I only have one cartridge and it's a multicart with SMB on it (and a poor conversion to MMC3 at that) but think of all the places it turns up.
- Every Unchained Melody
- 198-in-1
- 400-in-1
- Mario 6-in-1
- The actual SMB cartridge (duh)
- SMB/Duck Hunt
- SMB/Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet
My favorite retro game store went out of business (2 and a half years ago but I`m still not over it).
This brilliant piece of Famicom art (http://famicomblog.blogspot.jp/2011/06/famicom-cart-mosaics-luigi-wall.html ) was destroyed by the same people who made it and no longer exists.
Super Famicom carts are difficult to store since you can`t stack them one on top of the other.
Ditto with a small number of Famicom carts (mainly the big Namco ones like Famista 89, etc).

I'm trying to understand what you're saying here. ??? Could you clarify? Shove the package through where?
Shove it through the postal system, I believe.

Yes, shove the packages through the postal system. :)
Last week I was late to work actually, by a few minutes, thanks to the jokers at the post office. There was no line at the post office, and I had six packages to mail, with the customs formed filled out ahead of time. And I had 25 or 30 minutes of time. But I'll be damned, those guys were as slow as turtles!
They were like ninjaturtles on East European PAL NOAC clone :)

Why is the 1555 ml bottle of water 98 yen while the 455 ml bottle is 120? How does that make sense?
What the **** is with the angel wings the Endless Waltz Wing Zero Gundam?
Email is a THING. Why do I have to send documents to my company by FAX?!?
"This ADVERTISEMENT has not been made available to watch in your country". Are you ****ing kidding me?
Shopping mall caters to 100,000 people per day...one ATM.
Somebody is going to use that ATM to pay bill, deposit money, and do a balance transfer and the line will grow to 20+ people.

When did 90% of Japanese TV programs become "Look how great this food looks" and "Celebrities watch YouTube?"
Your company still uses fax machines? That's pretty shocking. Is there a reason behind that?

It's because the old men at the top of Japanese companies refuse to update technology for the times.
That why consumer electronics are both amazing and cheap, while infrastructure is still in the freaking stone age. FAX machines. No central heating/AC. ATMs that close at like 7pm and on holidays. Online banking/bill payment being all-but non-existent.
But our toilets have remote controls, we can buy flying surveillance drones for less than the cost of a new video game, and Amazon will pretty much always have your package to you the next day.

Because three lefts make a right; hence three wrongs make a right. :P
Wrong. If you are walking left and you take two lefts you will be walking right. :p
To be walking left, one must have had made a left prior, or else left, which is a relative direction, would simply become forward, bringing the total back up to three: the two you're counting, plus the initial one necessary to establish your starting position as left and not forward.
Over-analysis of your jestful post aside, I also hate having to use any form of communication outside of email to handle anything. When I suggested to my boss that we replace the weekly half-hour meeting where he hands out photocopies of a memo and reads it to us, wasting a total of ~18 labor hours a month, with an emailed memo to which we simply held people accountable for the contents, he looked at me like I was crazy.
And where "This ADVERTISEMENT has not been made available to watch in your country" is pretty bad, it's better than "Thank you for sitting through the lengthy video advertisement ... now we can tell you that the video you want to watch has not been made available in your country."

Easy explanation for that one. The next train will be just as packed, so why waste the time of waiting? At least that is how it works in Taiwan with the new public bus transportation system built near my area. The mayor screwed up, squandered his money, etc, and then tried to implement a bus system to appease the people (right before election time). But the new system is broken, so crowded that you literally have to push your way onto the bus. Those on the bus won't move out of the way for you to get on (it is already too crowded and they don't want to sacrifice the small amount of body space they have for you), so you just need to step on someone's foot and push yourself on, otherwise, no dice. And no point in waiting for the next bus either, it is always just as crowded as the one before it. System sucks, but the guys that pull the strings (and subsequently will never actually use the failed system they decided to implement) suck even worse.

Well, because "ong" and "ight" have equal value (they're both one syllable) but "wr" and "r" have different values (one is 2 letters and one is 1 letter). So, two wrongs make a wright. This is how it used to be spelled back in 1989-2003 when radical skater dudes said "aight?" and kids thought it sounded like "write" so they wrote it as "wright". The new spelling, as most people know, is "write". So two wrongs make a write. This is because computers (especially the Famicom) were built during the great nostalgia circlejerk of 1982, when NintendoAge started going online. (Originally, a camel would come to your door and you'd get a form asking exactly what words you were going to use to express your LOVE of Mother 3 and your PHYSICAL NEED for it to be released in in North America OR ELSE YOU WILL DIE however a week later they switched to a web forum)
So basically, if you yell "Mother 3" into the Famicom P2 mic (I believe it also works if you try and insert a Japanese GBA cartridge into a Commodore 64) the machine will grow legs and kick you in the arse. Both of these things are illegal, so the policeman had to write down what happened.
Sounds reasonable enough.

Yeah plus if you wait for the next train you will probably be late. In Sweden too I often hear people complaining that the train is overcrowded and people saying "there is another train coming soon anyway" even though the train isn't even half as full as it is in Shinjuku during rush hour. People are compressible!
Yeah, if people can save a few seconds wait time, they will. I could never understand people that would run a red light or speed over the limit just to drive 20 minutes or something, as the time being saved compared to the safety issues just doesn't seem worth it to me; however, I guess it is like the crowded trains, people just hate waiting, even for a few moments.

Make sure you don't put too much milk or sugar in your T, otherwise it tastes pretty bad.
What's with this "weigh your bag on a machine before you check in" bull**** at American airports? Add *another* step to the process? It's not bad enough I have to take off my shoes and get a full-body creepy x-Ray shot taken? Now I have to put up with a fully-automated, superfluous, extra step, featuring technology that makes ROB look bleeding edge, before I can... get in line and hand that bag to the clerk? What the heck is that?!?!
I hate flying commercially in every country I've been in, which is a disappointment, because I love flying. America is definitely the worst though. Aside from the ridiculous security restrictions, the immigration officers that I had to deal with at the airport are the worst examples of power-gone-to-their-head uneducated mallcops that I know of.

I hate just about every miserable *second* I spend in American airports. It is blood-boilingly infuriating from start to finish.
There is not a SINGLE other country I've been to that even comes close. Not even within spitting distance.
South Korea? Polite, simple, and QUICK.
Canada: Couldn't have been more pleasant (and I was only there because of an issue with the plane).
Japan: Come and gone something like a dozen times and have NEVER encountered a problem.
However many other countries: Nothing to really gripe about.
The USA? Jesus, where to even start?
The immigration staff are mall-cop wash-outs on power trips that would make Kim Jong Un blush. They're dressed as such purely to intimidate any new arrivals, which is a GREAT way to make the country seem appealing. And getting grilled about trivial bull**** is JUST what I want to do after a 12 hour flight.
What are you doing here? What were you doing in Japan?
**** you, man! Ask me how long I'm staying. Make sure I'm not carrying anything illegal. Stamp my passport and wish me a nice day. Just because the guy before you let a bunch of terrorists into the country and then back onto *other planes* don't take that **** out on me.
And getting back? We've got a thousand people in the security line. Let's keep a dozen metal detectors shut down and have one (maaaaybe two) opened up. In friggin' CHICAGO. Take off your shoes, belt, and watch, then stand in this radioactive chamber with your hands over your head, so we can take a picture of your naked body.
Then hop around like an idiot trying to get your bag re-packed and your clothes back on while a constant stream of people behind you does the exact same.
Want to pick up a snack or something for the flight? How about a six dollar pack of gummy bears or a coke for four bucks.
How about the near constant "The TSA is on high alert for..." That's a real confidence booster, right before a long-ass flight.
I can't believe people in that country can put up with this **** on any kind of regular basis. I guess they just think it's the norm. It's not. In fairness, I've never been to an airport in the middle east or even South America. I guess it's possible that their airports approach the Orwellian nightmare that every airport I've had the misfortune of visiting in the US has shown itself to be.
Seriously, folks. Airports in other countries can be fairly pleasant places to spend a bit of time when waiting for a flight or dropping of people who are. Waiting for your plane in Tokyo or Fukuoka is like killing time at a mall or cafe. Being stuck in Chicago's O'hare is like waiting in a dentist's office.
... I love this thread. Awesome place to vent. Try showing any kind of frustration in an American airport, if you want to spend a heck of a lot more time in one...
Moreover, the lack of translators for immigration officers is absurd.
The fact that they can even get the job without being at least bilingual is an embarrassment. America needs to adopt the German schooling system more than anything else I can imagine in terms of improving the country.
I ended up spending a half hour extra translating for the mall cops after I called them out for insulting me when they thought I was outside of ear's reach, and while their "female" counterpart was interrogating my wife in a separate room.
...because when they have a plane arriving from a different country, they don't think it'd be even remotely helpful to have a translator on hand for that country's official language.

Oh, tell me about. After the 3/11 disaster, I visited family and friends in the US. My return flight was cancelled and nobody could be booked on another flight for three DAYS. Which, yeah, sucked for *me*, but it wasn't the end of the world. What with the "family and friends" thing.
But for the, you know, *Japanese* fliers? They were ****ed. Nobody spoke Japanese. 300 or so people booked on a flight to Japan are stranded in Chicago and they have NOBODY who's equipped to deal with this?!?
Yes, I translated for them. No, I wasn't paid...or even *thanked*. Well, not by the airport staff. The other passengers were quite greatful.
It's Chicago. ORD. One of the largest airports on EARTH. Get some flippin' translators, FFS!
Everything is dirty: mail, newspapers, silverware, items at the store, packages, whatever.
So what keeps a soda can clean? ???
I actually watched a documentary that said it's not uncommon for canned drinks to have bacteria such as rat poop and such on it. Let's not forget this stuff gets stockpiled in large warehouses.

My mom and I had this discussion just last night, as we went to take sips of cola from our cans. Mum is recovering from chemo treatments so she has been very careful when it comes to hygiene these past few months.
The thing I don't get is why those people that are crazy obsessed with germs are also the ones that get sick more often. I eat food off the floor (not often though), chug drinks from cans, take a leak out behind the building if I need to, without a sink nearby, eat lunch at dingy restaurants, but I rarely get sick. But then I know many people that sanitize this, that, and the other thing, and they still get sick every time I turn around. Amazing!

I agree, I do that too (I wash my hands after using the toilet though). From what I have seen is if you are too careful about germs and stuff you will get sick more often. Hygiene is important but shouldn't be exaggerated, the body needs to get used to a moderate amount of germs at least. Then of course some people need to be more careful than most because of an illness or so.

People who say "Famicon" instead of Famicom. How?
Also, it's nigh impossible to find an original Game Boy that doesn't have dead pixels and/or a missing battery cover right now. >:( :fire:
I can deal with a couple dead pixels. IT drives me up the wall when I see game consoles, or anything really, without it's battery cover. What the hell did you do to lose it? Just leave it alone and only take it off to change batteries and you can't possibly lose it!!!
I agree! All my Game & Watches still have their battery cover and there's no reason they wouldn't.

Becuase it's a Japanese word and they use ン (n) instead of ム (mu) in コンピュータ (conpyuuta) since ン sounds like an "m" if it comes before certain consonants ("p" in this case) just like it does in many European languages. When ファミコン (famikon) is romanized people romanized コン (kon) to "com" since it comes from the English word "computer". But the pronounciation is still [kon] since that's how it's written in katakana (Japanese almost always write the way it's pronounced).
Actually I think com and kon sounds almost the same when you speak fast so you could really say either.
House addresses remind me of chipmusic.

a little heat fixes the dead rows of pixels, just get your tri-wing ready. as for battery covers, cheap Chinese replacements or your just boned
The Japanese ン (n) sound is normally said with your lips closed much like an m-sound (it might differ depending in what situation it's used though). So the difference between Famicom and Famicon isn't that big. I'm surprised you even can tell the difference when people speaks fast.
Well, the problem is people who call it that generally say "Famma-kawn".
yes that's been discussed over already. what people here are saying is that in Japanese, the sound n and m can sometimes use the same sound and that the symbol they use in the word famicom is actually the symbol for n which sounds more similarly to m than the next closest symbol which reads mu. correct me if I'm wrong here. I'm just trying to reiterate.
It sounds like an m because a p comes immediately after it (konpyuuta). Same rules apply in Swedish and probably other European languages (n before p or b sounds like an m). But in Famikon there is no p after it so it sounds like the normal (Japanese) n (which it's said with lips closed).
I'm glad this thread exists. As I occasionally want to whine about things.
So, pinterest basically making google image search useless for a number of things. I find that I'm nearly constantly searching "desired topic -pinterest" just to get anything close to useful results. There's a Chrome Add-on that brings back "block results from this IP" functionality (which was a fool of a thing to remove), but it doesn't work for image search.
Also, the difficulty in finding moderately academic results instead of commercial ones. Ex. I recently had to put together a reference sheet of traditional masks throughout the world. Finding images of traditional masks from specific cultures instead of websites selling reproductions, tourist gifts, or kitsch home-decor proved to be quite a task.
Google search results are based on your browsing history. Stop using the computer your mom does Pinterest on all day and you won't have that problem.
Cute assessment.
However, these are work computers, which I use under incognito and not logged in to any profile, so to my understanding, no, they're not.
