Good thinking! Do Famicom games pop right into a NES and work? I'm too lazy to google. Thank you

Fritz you need an adapter to play them on a NES. The adapters aren't very hard to find. Just look up 60 to 72 pin converters. I have run across 2 of them over the years but traded my extra one away. They are well worth picking up since there are a bunch of Famicom games that were never released in America.

Or you can find a copy of Gyromite with the converter in it, and replace Gyromite with Little Samson. Then you could print out a label for it and it would pop right in an NES, no converter needed. I might consider doing this. I'm going to start looking for a Famicom version.
Head of Desserts:
I take it Little Samson is not a text heavy game where you would appreciate the English text? Because if it's not, then definetly will get the Famicom version. Do all Gyromites have the converter, I have that game. This is a great solution for expensive games.

Also do this with Gradius II which -to my understanding- is almost in full English (the famicom version).
