It definately will. It also features S-video out which is really nice.
If you venture into the FM Towns marty realm. Make sure the games are compatible with the Marty. Just because it says FM-Towns does not mean you will be able to play it on a Marty system.

It should, both US & Japanese TVs are NTSC. The only thing you might need to play it on the safe side is the convertor for the power. I believe you can do it without it, but you still run some risk.

The item weighs 3800g, so go to row "Up to 4000g" in the chart, then across to the second column ("North America") and read the prices:
EMS $68 SAL $62
EMS = ( Express Mail Service ) 3-7 DAYS ( insurance )
SAL = ( Economy airmail ) 7-30 DAYS ( No insurance )

Thanks alot. He made that chart REALLY confusing. I guess he made it universal for all his items.

Brazil & Argentina are PAL-M (I think), which is actually closer to NTSC than it is to European PAL. Australia & NZ are PAL aswell. Oh, and France is SECAM, which is pretty close to PAL.

Well, if anyone wants to know... Africa is a big continent.
I know some stuff is either "seakam K" or PAL...
And I care! I am all over the French Togo bootlegs of SMS. They are all Seakam K.
I've also heard Ethiopia has PAL B (they had the arabic atari stuff) but South Africa has something called PAL I. But I don't really know about either of those.

That's fucking hard core if you're collecting Ethiopian VCS games!

Don't laugh dude. Africa has stuff going on... I don't think most people realize that there are actually CITIES in africa... with TVs and everything. Did you think it was all National Geogrphic? Too busy dodging Rhinos to play games? :p
But Shhhhhhh.... I don't want everyone to crowd the market like they did with South American stuff 3 years ago. :D
I know these systems made it to Ghana with translated manuals:
