Awesome. I've always been fond of the square button Famicoms! Everyone else I know prefers the later revisions though.
Thanks. I like the old square buttons too because I know they are almost old as I for one thing so that makes me a bit more nostalgic feeling. That being said the square buttons from a functional aspect sucks compared to the round buttons. I wish Nintendo had made the square buttons plastic instead of rubber because they'd be great like that. The fact they are rubber just messes with timing and sensitivity I've discovered after just a minute of play Mario 3. I can see why so many Japanese has the controller 1 switch out to round button which is how this early one was done. Also, this one is so early it won't play my 150 in 1 aliexpress multicart which I find weird because it seems to work on all the later ones I've tried even on revision 5 boards but not this 3 board. I'm thinking the later the famicom the more compatible it is with famiclone carts but I have several that won't work in any of the famicoms I've tried. Like the micro genius I got with 3 or 4 clone games that only work on it and nothing else I've tried.
