Yes, the SNES/SFC has no region locks via software and internally the hardware is identical. English patched SFC games will play fine on any SNES.Originally Posted by Sneak613
Like most cartridge based consoles, the differences between the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the Super Famicom are superficial. The only thing preventing games from each region fitting into the other region's console are they are physically shaped differently.
If you were to remove the tops of the shells of each system, all SNES games would run on a Super Famicom and all Super Famicom games would run on an SNES.
I believe there was a product specifically designed to do this called the Retrode, but it was both expensive and produced in very limited quantities, so you're out of luck.
On the other hand, The Super Powerpak from Retrozone would allow you to do this. It'd be a lot more expensive than one reproduction, but you might want to consider it. The SNES Powerpak is a thing of magic. It fits into any SNES or Super Famicom and runs nearly every SNES game except for ones with special enhancement chips such as the FX, CX4 and SA1.
