After going through many of these, I recommend light use if wanting to keep one in working condition! The cartridge ports tend to degrade with insertions. If it is difficult or expensive to get a Famicom where you are I recommend getting a clone system with composite out to play your games; depending on the controller the gameplay experience could be exactly the same and your console can stay as it is!
I've always wanted to get my hands on an original Famicom! I have the mini one, the controllers are shrunk to match the size of the console which is very cute but it's uncomfortable to play for long sessions.
The game carts for the FC are a pain to open up. I've done it in the past with a trigger clamp. You open them up to replace the batteries (if they have any).
They were designed to look like a toy. Even that big buttons on the front were designed for kids to play with even when it wasn't plugged in. Plus the controllers were attached to the console so they wouldn't get lost.

@_The_Jim neither did I. It makes it easier to place it on a shelf.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep that in mind.
I have a couple Famicoms, they are so light they feel like a toy.

From this dude being British, and a fan of AVGNI was expecting a lot more shouting and swearing than what we got.
Why is the Famicon in English as it’s the Japanese version?
anyone else feel like this has been done with the AVGN series? (Angry Video Game Nerd)
