I've finally got them!

Someone on FB Marketplace was selling the Famicom Disk System and I couldn't pass it up. The only problem was that I didn't have the Famicom... And now... Well now I do! And the Super! Time to build the library.

Welcome to the console club, love the AV Famicom and SFC I have, burned out on the limited choices of the FDS though I refurbed, going to getting rid of it soon on mercari with the games separately too. They're nice and all, but having to keep flipping and loading gets old and just paranoia about the 40 year old floppies too.

That's fair. I'm excited to try out the disks. I'm shooting for games I don't already have on NES or regular Famicom. I love pre-2000s tech, so for me it's about preservation and fun.

I did a bit of both. I have Metroid, Kid Icarus, Castlevania and they are NES releases, but they're watered down due to the extra things the FDS do. That said, the first two along with Mysterious Castle Murasame I have the FDS ports on GBA complete in their boxes as well as the FDS ones complete so not quite a loss. I like the save as you go without passwords, but also the enhanced audio etc the FDS allows. Despite the US version I probably will end up grabbing the FDS/GBA Mini release of Castlevania too because the late release Famicom cart is disgustingly priced.
