Goodness gracious. A console that can play Famicom, Super Famicom, SNES (both PAL and NTSC), GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, Genesis, Mega Drive (Pal and NTSC, though Mark III would require a Mega Adaptor), PC Engine, Turbo Grafx and PC Engine Super Grafx games. That’s over nine thousand compatible games. The controller adapter allows keen gamers to use the original pads on the machine for that authentic feel. Games can be downloaded onto the machine with a Micro SD Card and then they can be taken around a friends house. Upscaling makes many never looking so fine. Also allows patches to be applied to games.

A clever, value hybrid console at a great entry price for starting an import collection. Utilises USB ports for the controller with an AV output, the console has three different cartridge slots for Famicom, Super Famicom and Mega Drive modes. Think of it as neutral Switzerland during the 16Bit console wars. Nice, retro Famicom colour scheme.

The original design allows you to play Japanese Famicom titles as well as having seven titles built in to the console itself bringing back some heady memories. However it is not compatible with every game released for the Famicom system, there are some that won’t run on it.

Smashing little Famicom clone coming with two pads, AV cable, power pack and the console itself. It can play most (though it does warn not all) Famicom games too, besides the Famicom Yarou clone carts. Further good news is that there are seven built in games.

The original Dreamcast machine is a splendid way to enjoy the vast array of Japan exclusive Dreamcast titles without the hassle of convertors in full NTSC glory. The Dreamcast remains a well respected machine amongst the gaming cognoscenti for its excellent array of fighting games, shooters and a few off-beat treats.

The start of Japanese dominance of the console market and the height of retro chic. Tear jerking nostalgic gaming to recall years of old. The pads are hard wired to the console which has a cradle for both of them. Delightful original colours. Happy days. Apart from this original release using the RF channel on Japanese TV’s meaning it won’t run as default on most televisions.

Treat of a machine is tasty, slimline, zero calorie form. Great to get up and running into importing Japanese exclusives with very snug pads.

A great way to get into import gaming: the Japanese N64 has more import sizzlers than a Yakuza has had cigarettes extinguished on them. Please also note: this console does not support RGB output.
PC Engine Hardware

The PC Engine Duo R combined the standard Hu Card compatible PC Engine and the CD Rom unit with souped up specs negating the need for system cards. The differences between the two machines are mainly cosmetic. It can also play Super CD games too and as such is an excellent way to enjoy some fine and exclusive import-only titles of which there are many on the Engine.

The benefits of buying a Japanese machine are that you can use it straight away without any modification to play import Japanese titles thus enjoying a plethora of hidden gems. This version has a PC card slot in the reverse.
Sega Hardware
Console
A delightful machine full of the love that Sega always gave to all its consoles and with plenty of madcap peripherals that may have lead to its downfall as a hardware producer. From an era of innocent gaming comes a delightfully simple console.

A more compact Saturn with a coloured buttoned joypad and an off white finish described as mist grey, but certainly alot more cheerful than the original release. Makes a great starter machine into which to enter one of the largest, unexplored galaxies of import stars.

The finest Nintendo console to date with some incredible feats of programming and imagination, so much so that the N64 went out to replicate its wonders. Plenty of import only titles to enjoy as similar to the Saturn, the SFC flourished in its native climate. These are well loved machines, but a great way to get into bargain base import gaming, especially if you can live without the box in your loft.

Japanese NTSC Wii console which allows adventurous gamers to open up the non – Western released world of Wii. Regional protection means owning the Japanese version is the only way to be able to savour the full release schedule. Nintendo’s new dawn appears very bright at present thanks to the innovative control method feeling like a spring breeze to jaded gamers after a bleak winter of too many derivitive releases. By taking a chance the usually conservative Kyoto company may prove the saviour of video gaming. Wii shall see…

Ten titles from Athena, a dozen from master baker Capcom and sixteen from Coconuts Japan make up the bulk of these forty two pieces of gaming history that could give a lesson to some of todays snowflake software. Strider, 1942, Ghouls and Ghosts, Knights of the Round, Captain Commando, Sword Master, Biometal: the list of big hitters is superior to the World Series Baseball team sheet.

The Asian version has the advantage of being plug in and play in UK shores coming with a UK style plug. Besides this it can play Japanese games alongside Asian versions so allowing gaming vets to test out the consoles claim to be the baton carrier to the Dreamcasts bid to keep the shooter up and running. Tidy finish and futuristic buttons. Kinect ready too.
