That was great! And all this time I thought Famicom was a japanese word or a made up word.

…..made up word? The hell is wrong with you boy?!
That was pretty clever. You get Bonus points from me for the Akumajou Dracula (Castlevania) cameo.

I was SO EXCITED when I got that disk. I was like, “DUDE!” Then I get home, and side A is Zelda. Side B? Also Zelda.
Cripes.
Mind you, this was literally on the heels of the disappointment in finding the Zelda disk had Wrecking Crew and Solomon’s Key on it, so it all worked out in the end. …except I still don’t have a Castlevania Disk.

If only Wrecking Crew and Solomon’s Key were better than Castlevania.

Yes, made up word!
Use Nintendo or Wii in a sentence that has nothing to do with gaming or the business.

Cool.
More, dammit.

I could makes several sentences that involve the word “Wii” that have nothing to do with gaming or business. >P

I liked your Famicom Dojo review. I don’t know about the rest of the site. I assume you are a nintendo fanboy. Of course, for you to have the Famicom screams fanboy. The famicom looks better than American NES brick to me. The rest of the videos and stuff on your site don’t appear to be as impressive as Famicom Dojo. Thus, I ask you to work on the next episode of Famicom Dojo more than any other videos. Having more episodes in the series will make your site more popular.

Thank you for the kind words about the show. I hope you can give the other shows and regular articles a chance, though, because we have a very talented staff here that puts out a diverse array of content.
Much like the game shop that is its namesake, Famicom Dojo won’t exclusively deal with Nintendo’s products. What we are doing is to try to create a baseline for talking about the gaming industry before branching off to other consoles and companies.
The Famicom, its peripherals and successors are not well-known outside of Japan, and therefore their impact is not fully appreciated by a Western audience. We hope to make those connections with the history of American gaming, and delve into other obscuria, like the PC Engine (a.k.a. TurboGrafx-16), Wonder Swan, and other systems that had amazing success abroad.
Thanks so far to everyone who has been watching (even if you didn’t comment)!

funny ass stuff.

Wow man! Why aren’t you on G4? This video was awesome and taught me what I didn’t know about the Famicom. Way to go!

I just discovered this show, I guess about 4 months late. I must say that it was extremely informative. I have never seen a Famicom in action
You should do other shows and I must agree with j-rod…drop a resume to G4. If they are worth their salt, you will be on the air in a matter of days! Keep up the good work!
