Classic Game Room - NINTENDO AV FAMICOM console review

Classic Game Room reviews the Nintendo AV Famicom HVC-101 released in 1993. The "new" Nintendo Family Computer has a standard composite video output and stereo RCA plugs allowing it work perfectly on western televisions without that hum or blurry video!. CGR AV Famicom video review features the Nintendo HVC 101 game system and video games like Super Mario Bros., Crisis Force, Gun-Nac and Stargate!!

Sitting down to watch some classic game room at the end of the day is so relaxing. Always enjoy your sense of humor Mark.

The HVC-101's are rising in price fairly regularly in Japan. They were about $60-70 just a couple of years ago and now I see them for around $100.

I have become a Famicom addict after getting one of these.  Super crisp video output, no hassles with games not working.

Sadly the American NES version of this only had the R/F Switch hookup with coaxial cable.

I have one AV Famicom (it's awesome) and just sold my old famicom for a very good price... one of the greatest systems of all time!

Later models of the original Famicom had RCA outputs too. I always thought they were the ones people referred to as the A/V Famicom.

I had my NES Top loader AV Modded with the vertical lines removed. In hindsight I probably should have bought an AV famicom and cartridge adapter, but I didn't want to deal with cartridge adapters.

I bought one today (7/6/2023) at a thrift store!!

The Angry video game nerd uses this more than the original NES.

The best version of the NES hands down!

+Lord Karnage you are by far the most entertaining game and console reviewer IN THE WORLD

[Jessie_Renfro]

There's also Famicom adapters that can use for the old NES and Retron consoles. =3

A Very Amazing Video And Versatile Audacious Voicing

Mine is arriving in the mail later today, I can't wait.

I bought it because I don't have the room for a bunch of different consoles, and it's clearly the best version of this hardware. The NES toploader is RF only and has video quality issues (which can be addressed with a couple of mods, but I don't want to do that to such a rare piece), the regular Famicom is also RF only (although there are plenty of AV modded ones floating around on eBay) and you can't use NES accessories with it.  The regular NES is okay, but if you want to get a Disk System (which I do), hooking one up to it is more trouble than it's worth.  The AV Famicom gives you the best of each console, and just needs a simple converter to play NES carts (which I bought as well).

Getting one next friday! Pretty excited!

If I ever finish writing my epic Sci-fi robot movie, I want Mark to narrate and voice EVERYTHING!!!

Will this play PAL NES games on an LCD TV?

[JLOCLamborghiniFan]

4:08 It's also a let down because it can't play Vectrex games!
