Nintendo Famicom: The Place Where It All Began | enjoy Game Japan

The Family Computer (Famicom)

The Place Where All Adventures Began.

Hello, it's the shopkeeper.

Our adventures always began from this little red and white box.

That magic spell of blowing "fooo!" into the cartridge. That feeling of pushing it into the console with a firm "clunk!" The simple, yet anticipation-filled silence when you turned on the power. Each and every one of those rituals was an important signal that sent us from our everyday lives into the world of adventure.

Looking at it now, it's a surprisingly simple machine. But on top of this simple box, we saved the universe, defeated dragons, and rescued the kingdom's princess. The single cable connecting the console to the TV was a magical thread that connected reality and dreams.

Of course, it had its slightly clumsy aspects, looking back now, like the square A/B buttons that made your thumbs hurt, or the unreasonable difficulty of some games. (Well, perhaps that very clumsiness was the greatest teacher, which taught us "ingenuity" and "patience.")

This unit is not just the "first generation." It is the "origin point" of all legends, which transformed living rooms around the world into stages for adventure. The Famicom wasn't just a game console. It was the first door to my own adventures.
