Hi guys,

I just have a little question for you, mayby it will hurt your brain but I really need to know it. What is Famicom in Chinese? Wat is the name of it? I really can't find anything of a chinese name for it, even the box of the hong kong model is entirely in english...

Hope someone can help me out!

Thanks,

Steven  ;D

The Famicom is called "FC遊戲機" , reading "FC yóuxìjī", meaning "FC game machine" (FC as in Family Computer).

There's also another, much more widely used name, that is "紅白機", reading "hóngbáijī", meaning "red-white machine", referring to the Famicom's unique colors.

Other than that the Chinese also use FAMICOM or only FC.

I hope that answers the question.
