Famicom Games Lesser Known Because of All Japanese Text on the Label

In Famicom Games Lesser Known Because of All Japanese Text on the Label we will look for games that are hard to decipher because of the text being all japanese or cartrige art other wise just difficult to tell what the game is. We will hunt them and take them back to the lab for some research and ill give you my opinion on each one.

We did get NY Nyankies in the states, it was released as Rockin Kats on NES. It is one of the rarer NES games to own, and often goes for hundreds. The Famicom version you found is vastly cheaper.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Sweet man, I may have to grab it before it gets too expensive over here. Rockin cats 🐈 I'll have to remember that one

[@FamicomFanatic]

I’ve been buying a lot of Famicom games instead of the super expensive US versions. I got Seirei Densetsu Lickle (Little Samson) a few years ago for maybe $100 (now it’s probably over $200) which it’s like $2k or more in the US! I also go for the English friendly exclusives too which can be a lot of fun. Going to be streaming some of these games hopefully in the near future. Great video Scruffy and keep em coming!!

[@JRThree]

Love the idea. With over 1,000 Famicom games there’s hundreds that would fall into this category. The start of an awesome series!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

JR, I'm glad to hear you say that. I hope you enjoy the next one too 👍🏻✨️

[@DeusVult838]

I agree!!!

[@SarahReid-g3o]

Solid video Scruffy! Was good to see some lesser known Famicom games 🎮 👌 keep em coming!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thanks mate I'm glad you enjoyed it. What famicom game was your favorite?

[@loganjorgensen]

I had that same dilemma at a retro game convention looking through a bin of cheap Famicom carts, wondering what they were and whether I could play them. Helped a bit when there was some pictures on the label, or maybe a scrap of English, but so many were just kanji text.😄 4:13 Wouldn't mind that one, Rockin' Katz is SO expensive in NES cart form.🤑 Been debating on getting more Famicom carts, actually a lot of places that make affordable tasteful reproductions with English patches, graphical fixes, and gameplay mods. A neat one I saw was that Chinese Famicom FFVII bootleg with bug fixes and a graphical overhaul to make it look more like the PS1 original.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Rockin Katz has gotten up there for the NES for sure famicom is still an affordable option at the moment at least. Yes the reproduction carts are getting quite good i may have to check more of them out. thank for the suggestions.

[@campampates]

Dude i love your channel. pls don't stop uploading more content.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thank you I really appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼✨️

[@simondimant4944]

Thank you for another awesome video 🎉

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thanks for watching!

[@bjornh1527]

Excellent video! Really nice to know what kind of games these are. Tsuppari Wars 2 is one I’ve never heard of, surprised to see a fighting game so clearly inspired by the Kunio-Kun games! I borrowed the PAL version of NY Nyankies back in the days. I found Rockin Kats to be decent, although not in the same league as the systems best.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Glad I could help! Tsuppari Wars was actually really cool and I'd like to give it some more time especially with 2 players. Rockin cats was one I never heard of really enjoyed as an average or little above average action game

[@HaitaniMasayuki]

That Retro Game Camp store used to be a couple of houses to the right in a basement shop (I think currently there is some maid cafe down there lol) Somebody working as a composer for video games once told me that place still has some of the original chip-tune development hardware from the Famicom. Not sure if they are allowed to sell this, and what even the point is of them having it lol

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Oh yes, the dungeon as they used to call it, unfortunately, it didn't survive the pandemic. It was a cool little shop. I didn't know they had sound development hardware there, but it wouldn't surprise me. Many shops have rare items like that, not for sale, just for history and more like museum like pieces. Did you used to live in Tokyo?

[@HaitaniMasayuki]

@@ScruffyLookinRGB yeah I thought as much! Hidden treasures everywhere. I am currently living here, but was here in 2019 as well. that's when I visited the "Dungeon"

[@Bakamoichigei]

I'd definitely give Nyankies a try. I'm always game for a platformer with any sort of novel game mechanics. And I'd say the Bionic Commando-esque grapple in a cartoony character platformer qualifies as fairly novel. 🤔 I'd love to see more of these, perhaps even some SuFami games at some point? 😉👍 (After all, there's like a thousand _Japan-exclusive_ SFC titles alone, it's a biiiiig library!)

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Yes I find this much less frustrating than bionic commando. And I will definitely explore some of the super famicom library at some point 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️

[@inubass]

"It only allows to be born in Japan" wwwwww

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

It a splendidly welcoming piece of software intended for the whole world to enjoy 😉

[@mjdf122]

Scruffy back in action get those games

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Getting back into it after what feels like a long hiatus thanks brother

[@atomiswave1971]

I tried to find a NY Yankees FC CIB, $468. Yikes.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Yes it ain't a cheep one that's for sure 🤑

[@MrNorbert-wl9lh]

Makes me kinda wonder if some of these stores sells homebrews or romhacks of any kind OR... chinese pirates. : P

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Yes they do sell some of thoese indeed. I've also picked up quite a few independent famicom games in recent years.

[@BanditsBest686]

thats toki 5:40

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

That's the name-a-roonie 👍🏻✨️

[@EuSouRCS]

Next time don't forget the first SunSoft game on Famicom: KANSHAKUDAMA NAGE KANTAROU NO TOUKAIDOU GOJUUSAN TSUGI !!! 💎🎮💎

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Oh my goodness thank you for that great suggestion I will be looking into to it for sure.

[@EuSouRCS]

@@ScruffyLookinRGB you're welcome,this game is very good and very challenging as well 💎🎮

[@FamicomFanatic]

C.R.E.A.M. 💵 💵 y’all 😂

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thank you 😊

[@FamicomFanatic]

I love good hip hop and that was cool to see that in there, especially with that old Method Man pic. I definitely cracked up at that one! I also like the Contra music with the hip hop ish beat 👍🏻

[@bakabon114]

As a Famicom games collector, I can definitely say that "Ai Sensei..."is the rarest cartridge among these games and one of the most wanted for collector. Back in 2018, I saw "Ai Sensei" on the shelf at Surugaya in Kyoto for 7000 Yen and now, it is skyrocketing to 26000 Yen. I regret that I didn't grab it back then.🥺😅

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Ai sensei is an interesting one, for sure. It seems like so much has changed since 2018 I remember finding all kinds of really good deals now it's getting harder to find them. Ai sensei's box it pretty interesting too don't you think?
