I really hate the design of the Super Nintendo so I'd like to get the Japanese version.

Now when I search online in only find adapter for SNES -> SFC but not the other way around.
Anyone know of a solution and where to get it?

What kind of adapter are you looking for?
Power, Video, game cartrige, something else?

why not just uh... keep both? It's not like a super nintendo or famicom will break your wallet or anything.

  • ...and that's the bottom line
Try to get a JPN Action Replay. That should work.

I don't see why you'd need an adaptor. The only difference between the two was the little tabs they put in the SNES to lock out SFC games from being played on it. All you had to do was break those little plastic tabs off and SFC games played just fine in an SNES as I know from experience. I'd figure it's the same the other way around where SNES games should play just fine in an SFC.

The Super Famicom cartridge port is shaped with the "curvy" style of the Super Famicom Cartridges and our angular Cartridges won't fit past them.

Drakul, Have you looked into the Slimline Super Nintendo that they released near the end of the console life? It looks more like a Super Famicom.

I saw that one but I find it ugly too. not as butt ugly as the SNES but close :)

I could get a SNES and SFC but i'd rather avoid it. Not a money question, I'm just OCD like that....that's why I'm on the site in the first place ;)
