Yes, please do! There simply isn't enough information on Famicom BASIC in English online and your video would totally be a lot of people's first look at the Family BASIC stuff.

Bummer.  You can still get to it via archive.org, but the two program listings are gone.  It does have the NesterJ versions, so I should be able to extract the program listings from those.

I've been prepared for this. Here you go: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=06340071153679569064.

The program listings are in JPG screenshots though.
