    Default Best Famicom Games?

    If there is a similar thread, or it this is irrelevant, feel free to merge/delete

    Ok, so if my CMVS project goes well, I'll have about 800$ to spend on my collection. As I have a Famicom, and planning on getting a converter so I can play Fami games on my NES, I would like to buy some cool Japan-only Fami games. I'm already going to get Mother and Devil World, that goes without saying, but I'd like to hear some other suggestions as well. Thanks!

    Hebereke, Gimmick!, Bio Senshi Dan, Over Horizon, Ai Senshi Nicol, Getsufuu Maden, Wai Wai World, Robocco Wars, Crisis Force, Cocoron, Tetrastar.

    That should get you started.

    IIRC Ai Senshi Niiol is a Disk System title, so that got me to thinking of more FDS-specific stuff. Obviously you might wanna go the Japanese SMB2j/Lost Levels or Doki Doki Panic, and if you can find a cheap copy All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.

    Checking out stuff like Zelda 2 and Dracula 2 is also fun to note differences on. I got an FDS with a cheap lot of games, but I have not got around to checking out some of the other stuff. The Twinbee game should be fun though... I unfortunately do not have a copy of Nazo no Murasamejo yet.

    As for cart games, I believe Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Grafitti and Akumajou Special: Boku Dracula-kun tend to get recommended a lot too. Can't remember much else at the moment though..

    Ok, should I also pick up a Rockman & Forte for my SNES? And maybe a Wonderswan too?

    Yeah there are some similar threads in the past. I don't see anything wrong with talking about it again though.

    Ok, so here's what I decided to get so far. I might just take my favorite fami games and put them inside a gyromite cart with the converter and design a custom label. I think Splatterhouse and Gradius 2 would be a good candidate for a custom cart. I could always sell them to the dumbasses at bigfun and say it was a "proto" lol.

    Mother
    Splatterhouse
    Holy Diver
    Gradius 2
    Dare I say it.... Samurai Pizza Cats
    Contra (for the cutscenes. If it doesn't have the "code" I'm not getting it though)
    Parodius da (if I can find it)

    There we go. That's probably all I'm getting, though so any other suggestions would be irrelevant. I think I'm also going to get a Wonderswan, so are they any good?

    Although, you might want to look for it under it's real name - Kyatto Ninden Teyandee (Cat Ninja Legend Teyandee).

    I couldn't find it under Samurai Pizza Cats, so I will use the Japanese name while searching for it from now on. Thanks!

    Edit: Nevermind. I couldn't find it anywhere.

    I played it on playchoice 10 once. It was a pretty good platformer.

    Best games? Madara (VRC6 ^^), Just Breed, Don Doko Don 2, Cocoron, FFIIIj, Akumajou Densetsu (another VRC6 game), Langrange Point (VRC 7 ), Captain Tsubasa games, some games with Kunio-kun, Goonies, Boku Dracula-kun and some others, that I don't remember.

    Yeah, but I'd have to do the 47k resistor mod to hear the extra sound channels from the VCR6. Well, it can't be that hard. It has to be easier than relocating controller ports on my CMVS. Talk about torture.

    Hmm... In my opinion, better idea is just to buy good and old Famiclone (not those Crapstations on a chip). But the BEST idea is to buy the AV Famicom. Hearing VRC6 fm sounds in true stereo would be... Just awesome.

    Surely the famicom only outputs mono?
