Famicom comic (1985) scanned

[That Guy from Faxanadu]

Great! At first I tried reading left to right, but... the other way made more sense 

[P]

Great job as usual punkpolitical but what happened with the page numbering?

Looks like we finally are done with the text heavy pages! I see there are so many things I could have done much better at but for now I just hope it will become fully readable and I hope to proofread it again when I have more time.

Yeah I got lazy and didn't bother with doing the page numbers. Maybe i will add them in later. I already see things that need to be fixed but I'll wait till I'm finished to fix some stuff.

UMMMM.........................Yeah so here's this............................................................

Thanks for your hard work punkpolitical!
So it's finally done! It's kind of awkward to look at my own old translations due to how bad it is sometimes, but we finally have a complete translation of the thing.

So it's finished then? Awesome work! Thank you very much!
So now it should be PDF-ized or something.
I have to print it! Poor red printer toner!

Yes more or less as a first release. The speech bubble on the back cover might need to be edited as well though. The other stuff on the front and back covers are not important though, I translated them just for completeness sake. Also the last pages still doesn't has page numbers.

Before printing it I have to warn you that it still has tons of mistakes and inconsistencies. When I started this project I had studied Japanese seriously for just a short while. When I translated the Family Basic manual I was more advanced, and finished it much faster even though it was much much bigger.

Does anyone have info on which years this was bundled with the console?

Does anyone have the scans of the Japanese from the original post?  The link is no longer available.

Also looking for the FDS comic.

Japanese versions.

Thank you so much, P!  Really appreciate it the link.

Since the copyright is labelled 85-10-21 it could have been bundled late 1985 as well. It's not strange that it mentions the disk system before it was released, it was planned from the beginning.

I heard that pin 46 in the cartridge slot (the extra audio pin) was initially added to be used by the future disk system (which it also was used for when it was released). Although it was later used by cartridges as well.

okay.
Any ideas when it was *stopped* being bundled? It seems there are less comics than one could expect. Maybe I'll have to start writing down when I get a console with the comic.

Probably a reference to upcoming education games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIy6NKXoTI0 or maybe even the "minigames" in Family Basic.

I can't believe it's been over 3 years since I've uploaded the original scan! I've been away from the forums a good while. Glad to see punkpolitical saw this translation through to the end, amazing work!
