I have one of these. Here is the best I could do with a phone camera at 6:45am through the reflective protective case.

Cleaner image of the mockup NES cartridge labels for Duck Hunt and Gyromite. I can't quite make out what Gyromite is supposed to depict?

These cartridge labels seem different! Odd.

Duck Hunt and Gyromite cartridges found on the back of the box.

Google search still thinks that FamiWiki is an online shop despite it never selling anything. Would be great if that got fixed...

Have you made an online purchase from famiwiki.net before?

Don't tell him about the warnings present in manuals about projection TVs.

Tippy don't swear like that!

I ended up uploading this one to YouTube, enjoy!

Managed to encounter a commercial for the X-Men game for the Game Gear. Hope to find other video game related commercials.

Back home and I'm currently going through the contents of the VHS tapes I purchased. It's funny how I'm purposely seeking out commercials like this and fast forwarding the main content which is completely backwards to how people used these recordings back then.
Anyways enjoy some raisins.

Where's that documentary? I'd actually want to see that instead of gloating about nostalgia and valuables for over an hour.

Brenden @bro3256.com · 2d

And you're NOT gonna say what it is?

Nice pickups! Yeah the obscure stuff is up my ally but that said it's a challenge trying to find ones for a fair price and of course anything that is somewhat familiar outside of Japan goes for a premium. It does make the hunt of digging through things more fun.

*Manual, not label sorry.
Can we get an edit button that doesn't take over a decade to implement?

They had a couple more Famicom carts I was missing but sadly they were a bit too expensive for my liking. I almost got Saiyuuki World but the condition wasn't that great. Wish that 1st Year Math cartridge was cheaper cause those educational games are uncommon.

Brenden @bro3256.com · 2d

Got a few more pickups at a local Book-Off location in the area. I'm shocked that they had a boxed copy of Tengen R.B.I Baseball although it's missing the label. Glad to knock down Circus Charlie off my list cause despite it being common on pirate carts, the real thing doesn't appear as often.

It should be mentioned that the pin adapter can be used with Famicom cartridges without having to crack them open. You just need to flip the black piece so the cartridge can connect. This does technically work on frontloading NES consoles but getting it out is troublesome without an added ribbon.

Forgot to include these but managed to get both Atari 5200 cartridges for 8 bucks a pop, not bad!

Currently visiting California and went shopping for a bit. I managed to knock down two more Famicom cartridges off my list and I am now 500 away from completion.
I also got a few "blank" VHS tapes that supposedly have recorded content on them so that'll be fun to look through.

4 "blank" VHS tapes and 3 Nintendo cartridges, 2 Famicom and 1 NES.

I moreso mean a system setting for the Switch and Switch 2 rather than in-game settings in the NSO application.

"This is really easy, you should have no trouble doing it!"
If that was the case I wouldn't need a guide.

Brenden @bro3256.com · 5d

Perhaps a mouse sensitivity setting would resolve this?

Just checked my CIB copy of Golf and there's no such poster to be found. Ah well.

I have heard in Japan western developed games especially back then don't do nearly as well compared to games developed within the country. The first Bubsy is particularly interesting since only the 16-bit Nintendo version released there but not the Sega version.

The original arcade game was published by Atari Games. I presume the rights are currently owned by Warner Bros. going by the acquisition timeline. There is one Warner Bros. related game currently on NSO and that's Quest for Camelot so who knows!
