The Twin Famicom was Japan’s quiet engineering marvel—a collaboration between Nintendo and Sharp that merged cartridge and disk gaming into one sleek black console. This one’s been serviced, tested, and fitted with a brand-new Japan-made drive belt, ensuring those classic disk games spin like new again.
About this unit
Used. Tested and working. The drive belt has been replaced with a brand-new Japan-made belt. Box and instruction manual are not included. Compatible with NTSC-J (Japan region) games only.
The console shows normal signs of use such as scuffs and scratches. Two anti-slip pads on the bottom of the console are missing/peeled off. Both controllers show minor surface wear and have built-in Turbo (rapid-fire) functions. Includes a third-party AC adapter (100V–240V compatible) and an AV cable.
This is a Twin Famicom system, so it can play both standard Famicom cartridges and Famicom Disk System games.
Please note: Many Twin Famicom units develop worn drive belts over time, which can prevent disk games from loading properly. This unit’s belt has been replaced, so you can start playing disk games right away.
A note from the curator
“Back in the ’80s, this was the dream setup—one console that did it all. The black Twin Famicom remains a symbol of Japanese precision and quiet ambition, now lovingly restored with a fresh belt and a new lease on life.”
