Before “compatibility” became a buzzword, Sharp and Nintendo already made it real.
The Twin Famicom combined the Family Computer and Disk System into one beautifully unified console—both elegant and practical.

This boxed AN-500B model has been tested and confirmed fully working, and the rubber drive belt has been replaced with a brand-new Japan-made belt to ensure smooth and reliable disk loading.

About this unit

Used. Tested and working.
Rubber drive belt (made in Japan) has been newly replaced.
Instruction manual and warranty card are not included.

The console shows scuffs and scratches.
The controllers are in good condition and do not have a turbo (auto-fire) function.
Includes a magnetic protective sheet.
Includes official power adapter and official cables.
Includes a styrofoam protective insert.
The box shows wear such as scuffs, corner wear, scratches, small tears, stains/marks, tape residue, and creases.

This unit combines the functions of Nintendo’s original Family Computer and the Disk System, and is a video-output compatible system that can play both ROM cartridges and Disk System cards.

Our Twin Famicom units have been fitted with brand-new, Japan-made belts, so you can start playing Disk System games right away. Because many Disk System units fail to read disks due to aged or stretched belts, we recommend choosing a unit with a replaced belt as a reliable option.

A note from the curator

“The Twin Famicom wasn’t just two systems in one—it was Nintendo’s quiet experiment in convenience and design.
With a new Japan-made belt, this one is ready to spin disks and load adventures just like it did in 1986.”
