1,000 Things You Learned from the Famicom

[Jedi Master Baiter]

I've already mentioned that, second post.

47. Boobs, in any form (even when pixelated), distract me a lot

[NintendoKing]

48. A simple sprite editing of Mario/Luigi into almost all games can cause the game to be more fun.
(IE: Armadillo - Mario IV)

49. ROM Hacks have risen progressively in quality over the years and now many recent ROM hacks are as good as or even better than many officially made NES games at the time.

50. That turtles can fly and are capable of commanding armies in order to destroy kingdoms ruled by mushroom people. 

[DerZocker]

51. 8-Bit consoles are capable of understandable speech samples

[YoshiFan501]

52 the NES power adapter does not work

[fredJ]

nice 2-year bump

53. I don't need my sofa, except to put games on. Which confuses my guests.

[Cheetahmen]

54) Famicom and Mega Drive carts are about the same size as audio cassettes.

[232stinger]

55.  Great games will always be remembered fondly, regardless of graphics.  Gimmicky games (no intentional reference to Gimmick) will be forgotten.   

[Cheetahmen]

56) On the subject, the very worst games (I'm looking at you, Transformers) will always be more recognised than just plain bad ones.

57. That Famicom Disk System games have the best packaging ever!

58. That there is nothing wrong with a company making a game to tie in with a product when it's done CORRECTLY(I.e. All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros, Gradius Archimedes Hen, Doki Doki Panic, etc) unlike Atari which had many games made just to cash in and sucked HORRIBLY(i.e Chase The Chuckwagon, Tooth Protectors, etc)

59. That we were lied to for many years about what sequel was the right one to Super Mario Bros.

60. That R.O.B. the Robot was a useless hunk of plastic that only served as a Trojan Horse to get Americans to buy an NES.

16 -  Can't save anything on a Brand New Sealed Famicom Disk   

Not true as I bought a couple of new Famicom Disk System games and was able to save just fine.

60. That R.O.B. the Robot was a useless hunk of plastic that only served as a Trojan Horse to get Americans to buy an NES.

Can't have been that useless if its purpose was so that toy stores would sell the NES.

61. Superman games are nearly always awful.

[Nightstar699]

62. Batman games, on the other hand, are nearly always spectacular. Especially when made by SunSoft.

62. Batman games, on the other hand, are nearly always spectacular. Especially when made by SunSoft.

Provided that neither Acclaim nor Tiger Electronics are involved.

62. Many of the best FDS games went to the NES but not the Famicom.

[Nightstar699]

I've learned to generally stay away from both those companies, luckily. They ruin dreams, man.

64. The plethora of piracy on the Famicom allows me to get games I otherwise couldn't afford, such as Flintstones: Surprise At Dinosaur Peak and Gimmick. Thanks piracy!

Edit: By the way, we have two 62s, and no 63. But that's alright, just how we roll on FW.
