*SOLD*

This is an official NTSC U.S. version of the Family Fun Fitness pad, the precursor to the Power Pad released in limited quantities. There were only two games released for use with this pad: Athletic World and Stadium Events.

Athletic World was the pack in game with the pad and is included here. There is actually an advertisement for Stadium Events on the back! By the way, the box is the only way to tell if you have an NTSC or PAL version of the Family Fun Fitness pad.

This pad is really hard to come by and rarely ever comes up for sale on eBay. More NTSC Stadium Events have been put for sale on eBay than NTSC Family Fun Fitness pads over the past two years, so that says alot. I'm looking for $115 + $10 shipping. I really need the money right now and this would help. I accept PayPal only for this one, since I am leaving to Houston this Sunday to train for my new job (with the expenses on me! O_o)

I have excellent feedback here on Digital Press and over at eBay (I'm spidey300). PayPal payments to: spidey300@yahoo.com. Thanks!

You mean complete? Because I see a few cart-only copies of that variation on eBay right now.

Nice. I actually find mine, boxed at a thrift a few years ago for like $3. You actually can get lucky sometimes if you keep at it.

yes, complete. the five screw version saw two releases... one with a hangtag box (which is the rarer of the two) and one without a hangtag box (an no indication of family fun fitness on the cart). That is why you see so many carts with this variaiton... bandai didn't want to print up another batch, so they just used the good ol unhinged carts and threw them in the non-hangtag, silver round seal (not oval seal).

and once again, the only way to tell if you have a rare athletic world (not a fff pad in this case) is if you have the box, because both are identical.

Thanks Josh, I just learned something. I was wondering WHY I saw so many Bandai Family Fun Fitness Athletic Worlds around (especially on eBay) but never the pad. It's because Bandai reused their old stock of carts but with different packaging.

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT INFO ABOUT THE WHOLE FFF SETUP A YEAR OR TWO AGO!! lol ;)

For some reason, I have been fascinated by this particular item. Really an underrated (rarity-wise) and overlooked piece of Nintendo history.
