Famicom SMB 3 exist?

[GameGuru]

I have been checking off an on for about 6 months on eBay for a japanese version of Super Mario Bros 3 because I knew someday I would have a famicom (and I finally won a brand new sealed Game Theory Admiral for $50) but I never see it. Was it called something else or is it rare and I have no chance of ever getting it?

umm...smb3j is not rare at all. i see it all the time.

Hey Pango, do you think if you ever come across one on ebay you could shoot me it's URL? I would be most appreciative.

[pango]

sure. ive actually seen a few on ebay recently. some are pirates, but it's usually easy to tell which ones are.

Sorry but no active SMB3's.

But 3 in the last 15 days should give you hope.

OMG and that is what I actually type! I try "super mario bros 3 famicom" or "smb 3 famicom" and I never get anything ha ha. Hopefully I will have better luck soon. Thanks.

Actually, Just use many variations because youd be surprised what people list it as. And leave the 3, Super, and Bros. out of your search. Just search for these following items, and then scroll through the search results

Mario Famicom
Mario Japan
Mario Japanese
Mario Fam
Mario Import
Mario famicon (thats Famicon, with an N, people love to mispell this word)

Randomly search for these and you'll occasionally find one. Good luck!

Mario famicon (thats Famicon, with an N, people love to mispell this word)

Technically that's correct in a sense but, since there's no single 'm' sound in Japanese, they use 'n'

It's short for 'FAMIly COMputer' though it's spelled 'konpyutaa' in Japanese, so it'd be 'famicon' but I've seen both spellings used, so try either
