NES collecting in Japan?

[Flemishdog]

There must be a market or why were Nes cartridge to famicom adapters made?

Look, you have NES(let's say front loader) and bunch of carts for it. You've got Famicom and started to collect carts for this system. Now your NES is dead(or maybe not), but you have lots of carts for it. How to use'em?

I sold off my NES years ago and got a famicom recently, and being able to get a converter for NES-Famicom would be great. you get all the compatibility with famicom games, disc system and the mic, and all the non japanese games you find in the wild.

That being said, is there a single awesome US release that wasn't released in Japan? I mean besides Color-A-Dinosaur and Bible Adventures...

These are more likely around because there are several areas in asian that sell both 72 pin and 60 pin pirate carts and pirate consoles.

Lord knows that mic on controller 2 is worth it....lol
I had to have one because of it, and never use it. Whatever but I get what you mean. Disk system is way cool though, maybe because I'm American and we never got one it is still such a novelty , but honestly I use my new 2 with a converter even for my disk system 99% of the time cause of controller length

Wolverine. I consider that awesome.

I like how Snake's Revenge is on there. That game must be quite the novelty.

Odd, considering Wolverine for the SNES was released in Japan.
