Great video, classic famicom dojo right here.
I honestly thought I had to buy an extra Japanese online subscription to get the famicom games. Good to know I can just use my regular online account. Thanks for this vid!
Wow thanks, and also I just went into my 2nd Nintendo account, changed it to Japan, got the games, changed it back to English, then I could still play the Famicon games
Thank you so much for this video! Playing Japanese versions of NES and SNES Games and Japan exclusives is so cool! Thank you!
thank you so much for this video while it may be old it is still very useful to this day! I wanted to get the famicom so I could play the games coming out soon I saw that SMT 1 would get added soon!
Hard to believe this was almost a year ago. Glad to have helped with the subject of this video in some capacity!

The Wii Shop was amazing, wasn’t it? We’re getting some different approaches, like the Neo Geo arcade releases AND Nintendo arcade games, but no concentrated collections or console versions of games. Makes you wonder how badly Sega, Hudson, et al fared with the previous arrangement...

Theres also the Super Famicon but sadly as of the time of this comment it just as the same 20 SNES Games.
Hey Sean it was good to see you at MGC! This looks way too convoluted for my limited mind power. I'll file this away for later though.
yeyeye also ur a madlad for paying for xbox gold and psn plus
BUT BUT where the wireless famicom controller you can have with the online subscription
Does this (still) function with Super Famicom online?? It'd just be so awesome to get to play Shin Megami Tensei on the Switch.

You’re welcome! Glad it still worked; sometimes people say that it doesn’t.
Holy shit there's games that aren't on the American version! This makes me wonder if the Super Famicom Online service has All Japan Pro Wrestling in place of Natsume Championship Wrestling.
If soa doesn't,release the sega ages version of virtual racing soon for the u.s.I may have to mess with that pesky moon language :P
How do you change the news setting back to US. For some reason News is now in Japan after I did this. Also can I delete the Japanese account after I do this? Or will that make the other games be unplayable.

You should be able to delete the Japanese account from your Switch if it’s separate from your main one; you only needed it to access the eShop to download the Famicom channel initially.

Does the profile that you use to enter the eshop need a switch online membership to download the switch online games?

It does not, as long as there is another account on the Switch which has NSO access. You can even remove the Japanese account when you’re done (or change its region) so that you don’t get Japenese news feed items.

SethG You can, but it isn’t necessary; you only need the account to access the eShop. After that, you can play with any normal account already attached to your Family Plan. You could even remove the Japanese account from your Switch if you choose, but you’d still need it to download new software if anything else comes out in the future - like the Super Famicom channel that was released after this video was made.

Would renewing your English Switch Online account also renew your Japanese acount?
@SeanOrange
4 жыл бұрын
It’s better to think of your account as renewing access to the games installed on your Switch; you don’t need Nintendo Switch Online to access the eShop of any region, and you can download as many demos and free apps as you like. Right now, your non-Japanese NSO account works for any application that requires NSO to use - regardless of which eShop it came from.

You could even delete your Japanese account from your Switch if you want (you can always add it back later), and anything you downloaded from the Japanese eShop would still work.
Can a Japanese account on the same console get online with the US online?...

HikarinoJanis It depends? I’m not sure offhand if only one account on the console needs access to Nintendo Switch Online; all of mine are part of my family group, so I don’t have a good negative test. Only way to find out is to try it! That being said, you only need the Japanese account to access the eShop and download Japanese software; after that, you could even remove the Japanese account and just use your regular one(s).

The likelihood that the FDS version ever shows up in emulation is vanishingly small, so even on things like Nintendo Switch Online and Famicom Mini it’s always the cart version so far. But we keep trying every time a new one comes out!

Because it doesn’t distort the image: kzread.info/dash/bejne/noqLqLqpkrLAkqw.html
@FamicomDojo
Жыл бұрын
Because 4:3 will actually stretch and distort the image; the actual “safe” gameplay area on NES or Famicom games is closer to 1:1, with the edges usuallt covered up by the borders of CRT televisions. The borders actually cover up some of the top and bottom of the image too, so the viewable area is closer to 4:3, but what the hardware draws to the screen is often a different aspect ratio. Alternatively, an emulator could crop the image to the safe area. We struggled with this too early on when making Famicom Dojo videos for the same reason. For a while we put a border around game footage to only display the safe area, but have decided to stop doing that, and just show everything, even if it’s not what you would see exactly on old TVs.

If it helps, we are working on a much more straightforward update as we speak. While these instructions still work (once we get to them), the process is so much more streamlined now, and there are so many more consoles to choose from.
Too much random crap in this video rather than being helpful.
