The Super Famicom Box was a system developed by Nintendo and used exclusively in the hospitality industry in Japan. Specifically, it was placed in hotel rooms where blocks of time could be purchased to play the built in games via a coin box mounted on the side. The Super Famicom Box is basically just an [...]

Here is the second head to yesterdays two part post regarding 16-bit Nintendo finds. Today I will be covering some sweet SuFami imports I have picked up in the last month or so. I was never really into Super Famicom collecting particularly, that is until I picked up my Super Famicom Box last Christmas. Since [...]
Deadly Gets – SNES Edition

I have been really into the Super Nintendo / Famicom lately, and many of my recent purchases reflect as such. These are from the last month or so and are mostly online purchases. Without further ado… Legend of the Mystical Ninja is a game that just doesn’t show up too often around these parts, so [...]

A couple years ago In traded up from my loose copy of Chrono Trigger to a boxed copy. The only problem was that the boxed copy I (knowingly) traded-up for was missing the maps/posters and the box and manual were pretty haggard. My line of reasoning was that any Chrono Trigger boxed is better than [...]
Best Weekend in History

This is what me and a couple friends are doing this weekend. I have already done some preliminary grinding. I am up to level 5, and just about to decimate the first boss. After that I get the girl into the party (the second playable character after the hero) and the multiplayer co-op radness will [...]

Another year is nearly at an end. This is the third anniversary (minus a day or two) of this site, and it was a good year for Video Games Are Rad; readership has doubled again for the third year straight, and I couldn’t be happier. In fact, the page views for December 2010 are nearly [...]

Similar to the Famicom Box (which is the original Japanese version of the famed Nintendo M82 system), the Super Famicom Box was a device manufactured by Nintendo of Japan in the early nineties for use in hotels. The device originally had a coin mechanism that could be attached to the right-hand side. The machine was [...]
Zelda: A Link to the Past Famicom

Zelda: A Link to the Past Famicom is one of the most interesting Famicom pirates I have ever come across. It is certainly the most faithful to the game from which it borrows (ie: rips-off). You wouldn’t know to look at the anime-flavored artwork, but this is indeed a complete 8-bit remake of the famed [...]
