Thinking of importing a Super Famicom

Hello, I've been thinking of importing a Super Famicom (Japanese SNES) for quite a bit. But, what do you guys think? Is it worth as a collector's item, or should I save my cash for something else?

btw, I love the design of the Super Famicom :D

Nismology

Isn't the region lock on the NTSC north american SNES just two little pieces of plastic that can be removed from the console deck?

I have thought about this too, but I decided that there aren't enough japanese exclusive games that I'd be willing to pay extra to import one. You might feel differently, but the US library is more then sufficient for my needs :)

I wouldn't recommend it. Just mod your SNES to remove the region-lock and buy Japanese carts. My fave Japan-only SFC game was Captain Tsubasa III and I still play it ocassionally via emulation. Good times.

if you want to do it at a ollector perspective.....if you wanna play jp only games such as final fantasy 5 (srry can't help it. i love ff lol ) and other stuff, don't bother, you can play sfc games on an snes easily you just have to cut these useless plastic things out of the thing that you put the games in.... it's easier and safer then it sounds tho :D

............oh, i didn't see everyone talking about region lock. wow lol im stupid

Cool people call it Sufamiistuffedsunny

Oh yeah, I see. What TV do you need to run the Super Famicom properly?AwesomeKenny
