Super Famicom - Jenkoi - 2010-12-23
My brother sent me a super famicom he bought on ebay with 80 games included. I've got to say it's really fun and it's in Japanese. I'm only at kanji 445 on RTK and it's really helping me play Final Fantasy 5 and bunch of other games. Seems like a good RTK supplement to me.
I recommend a Super famicom if you can afford it for Christmas to add to your Japanese learning collection. Brings back memories and makes new Japanese ones.

Love the Dreamcast as well.
There are tons of Japanese "adventure" games on DC, some with voice included. Often you can go back in the dialogues and sometimes replay the audio for previous sentences.
With an adapter you can output to a good old VGA connector for 640x480 graphics.
There is an emulator called "chankast", and there are forums which continue to make "releases" regularly, of old titles. I used to download a lot of Japanese only games such as TOKYO BUS Guide.
One potential problem for Japanese learning purposes is that you can't select the text. I heard of a plugin to do that in NDS emulators, but not sure about chankast.

That sounds like fun but is there 漢字 in SNES games at all? I don't remember there being any. I loved Smash/Melee for the same reason you could change the language and then listent to all the audsio etc.
クッパーって?ww

@gyuujuice Most of all the games have Kanji(Super Famicom is the Japanese Snes by the way). There's this game called Albert Odyssey 2 which is really fun but it has too much kanji personally(mostly because I can't read it yet).
＠Fabrice My brother stole both the dream casts when he moved across state which doesn't make any sense, but yah. But I had a friend who burned Japanese games and they actually worked, pretty cool eh? P.S. loved the memory cards for Dreamcast.

I wish I had an NTSC N64 so I could play 時のオカリナ.
Stupid PAL.

I have a Super Famicom and a bunch of games but I usually prefer emulator because I'm always afraid my games will get deleted; battery backups don't last forever and these games are 13-15 years old at this point. I did finish Tales of Phantasia and was fooling around with DQ6, FF5, Estopolis II, and Tactics Ogre but I didn't finish any of them.

I always thought ムジュラの仮面 to be more interesting but I am one of a kind. I did kinda play the heck out of the original.

@udantaiteki Well if you have the supplies and the know-how it should be pretty easy for you to replace the battery backups. I like messing with electronics so it's fun for me.
@gyuujuice Majora's mask is amazing I agree

Both are indeed very good, though they are radically different. I think I prefer OOT, however. Come to think of it, maybe I should replay ALttP, 日本語で。 I know I have a snes emulator lying around...
