Famicom games in English
Hi there,
Im new to reddit so i hope i use this properly.
Im searching for help around finding English translated games for the Japanese Famicom.
My partner is into retrogames and mentioned playing Tanks(Battle City) on a bootleg version of Famicom when he was younger.
I thought it would be fun to surprise him with an actual (AV mod) Famicom for the OG Battle City experience.
However, i realised it may be bit of an expensive buy for just one game. So i have been looking into more like Mario, which would be do-able. However with games like Dragonballz i noticed that it has more storyline, so not understanding Japanese could become an issue.
So im trying to find a way to get the English version of these games but it seems no official ones are out there.
I have seen something about downloading ROMS versions?
Im honestly a bit at a loss as i have very little technology or retro game knowledgement, and seeing all the stuff you have to figure out to make use of it in English makes me feel a bit overwhelmed. So any tips or tricks would be very welcome to help me find out the best way to go at it.
If you recommend that getting a (S)NES would be a better option, let me know. He wants that one too anyways. I figured that maybe there are more (easier) options for newer Nintendo consoles.
Thank you in advance!
