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. The rubber drive belt (made in Japan) has been newly replaced. The instruction manual and warranty card are not included.
The console shows light scuffs from normal use. Both controllers are in good condition with no noticeable scuffs or scratches.
Includes a magnetic protective sheet for Disk System games, the official power adapter, and official cables. The styrofoam protective insert shows some wear/damage. The retail box shows wear such as scuffs, corner wear, scratches, peeling, tears, tape residue, and creases.
This unit combines Nintendo’s Family Computer and Disk System in one console. It supports video output and plays both Famicom cartridges and Disk System cards.
Our Twin Famicom consoles are 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, a belt-replaced unit is a more reliable choice.
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.”
