Well, I never owned a SNES or SFC since I mostly played NES and got a Genesis afterwards. I was addicted to Phantasy Star, Sonic, Shining Force, etc, and I just never got one. I have played many SNES games though and I pretty much know what I want to start a collection. The thing I don't know is if it is worth it to buy an SFC from either ebay or japangamestock since the shipping cost is so high (I live in US). I have a big interest in Japanese like many people, and I would like to own more imports.
Basically, should I just get a model 1 SNES and "mod" it if I want to play imports, or buy an SFC. Also, I have been searching around and if I do in fact get an SFC, what exactly do I need to play US games on it? I know it is some converter but I am not sure what it is specifically.
Any suggestions or opinions on what I should do will be very appreciated.
Thanks.
