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. --- End quote --- Also do this with Gradius II which -to my understanding- is almost in full English (the famicom version). --- End quote --- Not all gyromites have this converter but there are other titles as well that have the converter the only one i have came in excitebike |

There's on one from Japan on ebay currently, but it's already bid up over $60 and it still has almost 2 days left. Ben76, where did you get your copy and how much was it? Thanks Edit: looks like Famicom Little Samson usually goes for $80-90 on Ebay from Japan. $25 for a Taiwanese knockoff. Ouch... |

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. --- End quote --- Ive done this for a bunch games already like Crisis Force, Gimmick!, and Gradius 2. |

There is one listed right now with the manual that may bring a bit more due to the manual. It is from the seller I bought mine from. He doesn't have much feedback yet but the game I got was nice and he sent it quickly. It looks like he is trying to sell games that would be more in demand over here in the states. Mine was a bit over $100 with shipping. I put a snipe bid on it and barely won it. So I think there are several others actively looking for this game as well. As long as the NES version is as expensive as it is I think the Famicom version may go up in price as well. I have a Gyromite cart with a convertor as well. I just use a 60 to 72 pin convertor though its way easier than taking the carts apart. Plus I have a good bit of Famicom carts I like to play like Goonies , Crisis Force, Kid Dracula, etc. |

The price of the famicom version is steadily rising as well. I paid around 90 € for my PAL B cart and I think I got a pretty good deal on it considering it was a bit rarer SCN (scandinavia) release. It seems like it's even rarer to find a copy of the NTSC version, so if you are looking to get it, maybe you could try the PAL version? |
