Famicom was my first console ever! I received it as a gift in late 1991. Absolutely adored it, despite the controllers' cord length. Everyone had famiclones back there where I lived but I had the real deal with 60hz gaming! XD

Ty Crump there is Reddit that shows how to add controller ports from an extension cable and a 6 pin JST 1.5mm connector. All reversible if you do it right. To add original Famicom controllers you could gut the number 1 and add the internals of a new NES classic controller, the number 2 is reversed so it would require internal mods and the mic would have to go also.

great to see another video from you, man. Yeah I'm definitely interested in picking up an NES Mini, though the Famicom Mini is also tempting, given the different games on it!! I do like how some of the ones that were disks are still the same versions they got in Japan (I know you didn't dive into Metroid a whole lot but I can only assume they still sound as good as the FDS conversions with the improved audio?) But I hope to get ahold of an NES mini at least, even though I already own about half of the games that they offer... since a lot of the others I never got around to playing or just don't own them yet. There IS another multi-game console out there (though IDK if it's widely available in Japan yet) the Retro-Bit Generations... basically a mish-mash of SNES/Genesis/Gameboy/Arcade titles (about 100 games in all) on one console! but this one's nice it comes with two Genesis six-button style USB pads, so seems to be a pretty cool deal if Nintendo's systems seem too limiting for your liking. (features various games from Capcom, Data East, Jaleco and a few others.)

I haven't seen the NES mini controllers for a size comparison, but I wonder if they are about the same size. I was thinking about an NES mini perhaps, but not at the scalper prices. I'm sure Nintendo will ship out many more of them come 2017 though, so perfectly fine to wait for that. Enjoyed the look at the inside of the console and the games list man, great vid, Luke!

The Famicom Classic is slightly worse than the NES Classic NES Classic controllers are the same size of the original NES controllers and are bigger than the Famicom Classic ones. Famicom Classic controllers are smaller than the original Famicom controllers NES Controllers aren't stuck to the console, you can get an extension cord, and the NES controllers work with the Wii and Wii U. Also you can use the Classic Controllers(From the Wii) on the NES Classic, but not on the Famicom Classic In return though, Famicom users do get two controllers and a microphone.

It was a terrible idea to make controllers so small. Not to mention they didn't HAVE to repeat the mistake of undetachable controllers. Nobody would get upset if they didn't. So while the NES one is an actual gaming machine, this one is more of a shelf piece for collector or demonstration purposes. Also note the microphone in the 2nd controller is not actually present.

it looks like the "missing screws" were just the 4 that held the case together, so they weren't actually missing. on another note, one thing that kind of amused me is that the controller wires run the length of the console before plugging into the front of the board, just like the big famicom.

Are the controller plugins to the main board the same as the original so you could un-hook them tiny ones an add regular Famicom controllers to it, looking at the NES Classic plugins looks like you could do away with the Wii style connectors an use ones from an original NES if the system would recognize the controllers.

I know that NTSC was mostly used in Japan and the USA and in Australia we use PAL. What I want to know is this. Are there any regional differences with HDMI?

1. Yes. 2. Because then they wouldn't fit on the side of the console. 3. the alternative would be to mold useless controllers on the side of the console and use the expansion port on the front for an extra full-size controller which is idiotic. You'd be giving up multiplayer support completely and you'd have two controllers you can't use stuck to the side of the system.

interesting and comical that Nintendo makes you buy an AC adapter in japan because the console design just gives you the controllers hard wired. also, the lack of movable covers (i said the same on an NES unboxing) makes it an unfortunate design choice, as I can imagine people wanting to have the cart slot cover, and the expansion cover exposed because they are just weird like that.

And why does Nintendo think it's a good idea to sell the AC adapter separately? well I guess it's fine for this, as it just uses a micro USB cable, but the 3DS, that's just ridiculous.
