Nintendo wanted to make big splash in the United States. What they did was redesign the Famicom from top to bottom, so it did not look like a Fisher-Price toy to the average American consumer's eyes. They also packed a robot in with some robot games for the system to act as a "Trojan Horse" to get the Nintendo Entertainment System into stores that wouldn't otherwise sell it, since the North American Atari game crash of '83 was still on everyone's mind back then...
Despite it being a Japanese console, these games are also in USA and Europe and there was a NES (aka the USA famicom). Nintendo just got the games and made them compatible for the Famicom
2 thumbs up!!! i still keep my red-white machine at home!! god i luv those days, when a friend buys a cartridge, and rotate it among other friends! The famicom was available in the asian market
I wish there was a Game Boy Medley as well. It would include Tetris, Alleyway, Super Mario Land 1 thru 3, Solar Striker, Balloon Kid, Mole Mania, Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, some of Nintendo's sports games, Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru, Zelda: Link's Awakening, Wario Land 2 (SML3 is Wario Land 1), Donkey Kong '94, Pokemon Red & Blue, X (Ekkusu) and several others.
Really? That's amazing. I would love to have an original Game and Watch. Those things are relics these days, especially the double-screen version. Nintendo paid much homage to the NES with the Nintendo 64, and the DS is now doing the same with the dual-screen Game and Watch.
Actually the Famicom is not the first game console released by Nintendo. They had a few Pong/Odyssey style consoles called the Color TV Game, released in 1977. They had pre-programmed games and had knobs for controller input just like a Pong console. They weren't released outside of Japan though. Game and Watch was a series of handheld consoles starting in 1980 and going all the way until 1991, predating the Famicom by three years.
yeah N64 and anything before it all kick ass. they never get old. friends always laugh when they see my old shit but if they ever play it they always wish they still had theirs
You might underestimate it, after all, Mario 2 was the hardest Mario game ever, and was quote "for players who MASTERED Mario 1" I have played it and it is crazy hard. You can beat it, but it usually takes 30min to and hour. I swear, I took 20 lives just to take one castle.
@brtshstel I still have my double screen game & watch. Maybe that's where Nintendo got their idea for their DS, from their game & watch series: Donkey Kong DS, Oil Panic DS, Green House DS. I also still have my Mario Brothers DS which opens like a book, unlike the other ones.
Famicom (short for family computer) was nintendo's first system, they eventually released it in the united states under the name "Nintendo Entertainment System" (NES) They are almost identical in except for the fact that the famicom has a different look, better sound and an optional disk drive add on.

Ah, the birth of video games. Who would have thought that a pixelated, jumping square could become a.....Italian plumber who now is 3-D or, a protecter of the Twili, and even a Brawl star who has a WORSE BOW THAN LINK!!!!!
i swear someday i will own this system. mainly cuz i want to play the real super mario 2 on its original system. man i love mario games. after n64 video games got boring for me. except there were some cool games for playstation when it was first released like the first crash bandicoot
Due to the Americans wanting more Mario, Nintendo wanted to modify Doki Doki Panic to create Super Mario Bros. 2 (known as Super Mario USA in Japan). Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels in Japan is titled "Super Mario Bros. 2". Why did Nintendo of America refused to release it in America during the 80s? Because it is extremely difficult for players to beat it.
For some reason, TH-cam put my comment in the wrong area. I was answering Sombrio12's question. I think he asked why his Famicom said "Computer Game" instead of "Family Computer".
I'd rather play NES more than anything current gen even though I was born after NES died out. The games are alot cooler than modern games because they pack fun and not graphics. There also isn't any narrated story to hear when you start the game for the first time, You just turn the game on and start and only 2 Action buttons on the controller were needed rather than 10 and not to mention games now also require button combos to do one thing as if the many buttons aren't enough.
Some NES controllers contain two action buttons plus two turbo buttons. Perfect for auto-fire action in most shoot 'em up games, like Gradius and Xevious...
Another reason I think it wasn't realised in america is because it was to much like the first one. In fact it basically is the first one but with a change in texture on a couple of the sprites.
Doki Doki panic was a japanese game for Famicom Disk. NOA import trasform this game to a mario game for NES. The Japanese nintendo likes the changes and import mario Bros 2 with the name Mario Bros (made in) USA... When Super Mario Allstars arrives to America, NOA explain that SMB Lost levels is a game with the levels what they Could not include it on the original SMB. The real rease was that NOA thought what SMB 2 (japanese) is too difficulto for Occidental Peopale
Actually Captain N took the Eggplant Wizards (those "vegetable guys") from Kid Icarus. Same with Mother Brain from Metroid, Dr. Wily from Mega Man, and King Hippo from Punch-Out!!.
Oh man¡ yo tengo una pregunta mi famicom dice Computer Game en vez que la tuya dice Family Computer, y tengo una duda mi famicom tenia una conexion y en ese iban dos controles, el tuyo tambien?

I NEVER knew LoZ1 was originally called "The Hyrule Fantasy". Learn something new every day.
Awesome video, favorited!
Woah ! Amazing !
I'm gonna purchase this DVD on eBay. So nice they put musics that can't be found re-arranged, like Devil World and Shin Oni ga Shima.
For a Japanese console there’s a lot of English in it

This was a great rush of nostalgia. Awesome stuff.
Absolutely stunning. This is beyond words.
This video is amazing. No Popeye though :( that was the first game developed for the Famicom
Shut up, old me
Major props to the guy who made this.
Im the only one that notice that most of the characters are in Super Smash Brothers Brawl as players and as trophys?
awsome video, this is the console that introduced me to the world of home video game consoles :)
I really want one of those
Thank you so much for this awesome video!!!
I loved to play Donkey Kong 3, and I know everyone loved Super Mario Bros & Legend of Zelda. I never played Nazo no Murasamejou, but looks fun !
The Mysterious Murasame Castle is out already on the Virtual Console (for non-Japanese regions)
I wish there was a Game Boy Medley as well. It would include Tetris, Alleyway, Super Mario Land 1 thru 3, Solar Striker, Balloon Kid, Mole Mania, Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, some of Nintendo's sports games, Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru, Zelda: Link's Awakening, Wario Land 2 (SML3 is Wario Land 1), Donkey Kong '94, Pokemon Red & Blue, X (Ekkusu) and several others.
Intro do NintendoFan: 2:58
EITA
happy birthday king :)
Wow!! What an amazing medley!!
A Plus!
I love this console! It was my first console! And I could play a lot of games that this video show us, Nazo no Murasamejou is a great game.
Really? That's amazing. I would love to have an original Game and Watch. Those things are relics these days, especially the double-screen version. Nintendo paid much homage to the NES with the Nintendo 64, and the DS is now doing the same with the dual-screen Game and Watch.

@chilidog042 that was only the Nintendo games that was featured, of course Megaman (Rockman) is known in Japan. ^^
I love it. Although I was hoping for Earthbound Beginnings/Mother 1 to be in this medley
Guys, you know, in japan next year will be Famicom's 30th anniversary! XD
(if you were wondering) and i have a Famicom! XDDD
congrats on 20 years pwnage
SHIN ONIGASHIMA!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!

I got Famicom console from this Store konelectronics.ocnk.net/product/123
I would LOVE a full version of the Balloon Fight Reggae.
Yes. Japan's 100v and the US 120v are very similar. However, you if you live in Europe you need an adapter.
WTF!??!? it's the most amazing video in the world ^^!!
yeah N64 and anything before it all kick ass. they never get old. friends always laugh when they see my old shit but if they ever play it they always wish they still had theirs

The original "Mother" was on Famicom. Mother 2, or EarthBound, was on SFC/SNES.
@brtshstel I still have my double screen game & watch. Maybe that's where Nintendo got their idea for their DS, from their game & watch series: Donkey Kong DS, Oil Panic DS, Green House DS. I also still have my Mario Brothers DS which opens like a book, unlike the other ones.
OMFG!! AWESOMETASTIC!!
Happy 30th Aniversary Famicom
Famicom (short for family computer) was nintendo's first system, they eventually released it in the united states under the name "Nintendo Entertainment System" (NES)
They are almost identical in except for the fact that the famicom has a different look, better sound and an optional disk drive add on.
:D this was amazing
Good video, I love the famicom
I REALLY want the Japanese Famicom, so I can have both the American NES and the Japanese Famicom!
I'm 14 years late but there was a Famicom cartridge adapter for the NES

AMAZING !!!!!
This is the best videogame system.
Great video, oldsqool forever :)
I'm Poland gamer :)
no wonder I still playing this.
Ah, the birth of video games. Who would have thought that a pixelated, jumping square could become a.....Italian plumber who now is 3-D or, a protecter of the Twili, and even a Brawl star who has a WORSE BOW THAN LINK!!!!!
Also, a gorilla who is now protecting his banana hoard from crocodiles, tikis, and Viking animals.
Yah! Famicom forever! Best console
Mil veces lo mejor de mi infancia, dias enteros de diversión *o*
This is famicomtastic! (Although no Mega Man or Castlevania is disappointing)
To be fair, this are all nintendo games, while Mega Man is Capcom. It would've been nice to have Mega Man or Metal Gear appear though.
@KonaKonaKaabisteru I guess this is because it was a feature about Nintendo games and Doki was liscencied by Fuji TV not Nintendo (my guess).
this is like the theme song to a comedy show xD
kool I saw R.O.B.! lol (He's a character in Super Smash Brothers Brawl)
ah i seem to have a clone of this and it is pretty fun and i also have a original N.E.S and this brings back memories
Ice CLimber was the BOMB
kool I saw R.O.B.! lol (He's a character in SUper Smash Brother Brawl)
If you can beat that, then try to beat the free, downloadable, Mario-based game called Syobon Action.
i swear someday i will own this system. mainly cuz i want to play the real super mario 2 on its original system. man i love mario games. after n64 video games got boring for me. except there were some cool games for playstation when it was first released like the first crash bandicoot

i want that game
awesome

Got mine for $41 & $10 in shipping directly from Japan. It's a fun little import.
Famicom or NES, either way, the best game system ever.
He missed Akumajō Dracula and the "Mother" series. But pretty good!

ah the days of GAMING not siting on your ass and playing COD
Another reason I think it wasn't realised in america is because it was to much like the first one. In fact it basically is the first one but with a change in texture on a couple of the sprites.
yeah, after they changed it to SMB 2 for US, they put it on the famicom as super mario USA
