Recommend me some Famicom!!
Mutecityracer:
I finally caved and just ordered an Analogue Nt. I am beyond excited for it. This opens up the option of playing Famicom games for me. I have a friend going to Japan in 2 weeks and I have some money to give to him so he can find some games for me while he is there. I cannot read Japanese so games like RPGs are out of the question, but i mostly would love to have games that didn't come over here that are just fun to play. Any recommendations?
TDIRunner:
Most of my favorites are FDS games which the Analogue NT won't help you with. That's why I went the Everdrive route since if supports FDS games including game saves.
For the record, you can run a FDS through the Analogue NT, but you would still need a FDS with all cables and hookups. Boy would I love to have one of those.

Yeah I realized I may have to end up getting a FDS as well, so feel free to give me any recommendations for that as well. I know absolutely nothing about any of these games so any recommendations are welcome.
TDIRunner:
Well the US version of Super Mario Bros 2 is my favorite video game of all time. With a FDS, you could play the Japanese version called Doki Doki Panic. It's basically the same game with different sprites. You can also play the actual Japanese Super Mario Bros 2 in the original graphics. We only got the "Lost Levels" version with updated SNES graphics. You also will have access to Final Fantasy I through III. The US skiped II and III (which is why FF IV on the SNES was called FF II in the US).

I have repro NES carts with Final Fantasy 2 and 3 ;). I know it is not the same but that is how I played them.
from what little knowledge of the system and the games I have this is the list I made so far:
Famicom:
Atlantis no nazo
FDS:
Doki Doki Panic
Super Mario Bros. 2
whatever the legend of Zelda is called
whatever the hell Zelda 2 is called in Japanese (Zelda 2 is my favorite NES game so I want the FDS version)
