Famicom Dojo's Hiro Reacts to the NES 

"Is this a lunchbox??!?!?" Ahahahaha! That man is a gem. If I ever do make the trip to Japan I'll have to swing by the shop to meet him.

Hearing him say that the Famicom and the NES are brothers warmed my heart.

That reaction is priceless. I friggin love this guy, he's a 10/10.

I think it would be interesting to show Hiro the early US Cartridges opend up with the converter boards...I think that will blow his mind ;)

How did you make a video about the NES this adorable?

The old lady knowing the differences between Kunio-Kun and Renegade was awesome!!

The western version of Tetris basically got released in Japan as "Tetris 2 + Bombliss". The "Tetris 2" portion plays exactly like the "Nintendo" version of Tetris but with a 2-player option.

might want to show hiro your "dont blow it" video

This video was an absolute treat. It was cool to see Hiro's reaction to an NES and it honestly brought back memories of playing NES as a kid. Also, your daughters and Hiro playing and singing together was the cutest thing ever.

15:00 That's some classy cowboy shooting skills!

I wish you guys would do more videos with Hiro, like have some documentary about the famicom but in the perspective of a native person in japan

That Is Like My Friends When I Show Them A Sega Genesis!

As much as I love retro games, the ending of this video was the best. :)

Now you should have him react to the North American SNES.

oh guys, I fell in love with your content

Awesome video also saw this promoted on RU-vid!

It's actually illegal to rent video games in Japan.

"Mario ! Marioooo!" My son is the same way lol. This video is great.

I spy with my little eye....a sub game of a sub-series of Shin Megami Tensei. While the video is fun,it's also fun to look on the background and play a "who's who" of games.

Walks into store, tons of NES carts right in the display case.

I enjoyed every second of this! Hiro is awesome! And I love how you brought more games than my nes collection🤣

that instrument at the end is called an 'erhu'

Now you should show him a Dynavision or a Phantom System

Ha, priceless. I think it appealed to his sense of style

Well that was adorable.

I wish you had super Mario 2 for his reaction

This is great. I always wondered how and who,in Japan,the nes was seen. Import exists,so I'm sure there were some fanatics but it's so cool to see

This was great haha. I live in the USA and have a famicom and collect for it and I've seen the opposite reaction from my dad who grew up in NES

Vink show Hiro the Atari 2600, did that even come out over there? Did you show him how Gyromite, is still Robot Gyro, but uses an adapter.

while he may not have seen the American Famicom before, he instantly recognized "Nintendo" of course as I already mentioned that Nintendo originated in Japan and because it's the most famous company there even now, I am sure most Japanese should be able to still recognize Nintendo's own golden name slapped on our American systems and game carts as well! lmao. XD

I grew up with the Famicom console here in the Philippines(Well, Gameboy was the first). My cousin, who has immigrant relatives in America, owned her very own NES console here in the Philippines(Famicom consoles were alot in the shops here those days than the NES consoles). Do those cartridges have the same cartridge slot size you put in for both consoles? If they do, I would imagine that the NES catridges can be played upon the Famicom console but the Famicom cartridges can't be played on a NES console due to their short cartridge size. The disadvantage of both consoles would be pulling the cartridge out without first switching the power off(you wouldn't want to try that believe me). I haven't experienced it on the NES console though. But one time, my neighbor ignorantly pulled off the cartridge from my Famicom console without first switching the power off just to change games. My Famicom console just broke by having obvious glitches on the TV screen even if different cartridges are put in and the continuous 'blows' to the cartridges were done. I frantically blamed my neighbor for having a Sega console when he broke my Famicom console.

Ohh itsu Engrand... :3 Fucking adorable...

Super fun fact: the nintendo zapper was featured several times as an aien style beam weapon in multiple episodes of Star Trek the next generation.

I love how he doesn't want to put the games down...

Really love your videos guys, keep them coming

I'm surprised the owner of a retro game store hasn't even seen what an NES looks like. Anyone who owns this kind of store in the US would have at least some idea of what a Famicom was.

Please do Hiro reacts to Sega Master System! PLEASE!

Maybe next time you could show him what the Super Nintendo looked like in the us

I must go to this place... How I've never stumbled upon this channel before is beyond me.

It's pretty cool to see someone from Japan share their thoughts about the Western stuff. We need more of that on the Internet to even things out. btw, have you guys ever thought about talking about Famiclones? That'd make for an interesting video. I especially recommend the Pegasus. That was my first exposure to video games (besides Windows 95/98) and there's also a very interesting history behind it. You can read it here: www.retrojunk.com/article/show/4938/pegasus-polish-nes-clone

That Star Ocean till the End of Time behind there

This is precious.

Nintendo?.. Whaaat?, a line to remember

Was Hiro just being polite when he said the NES looked better?

Blessed by Chris Pratt!

18:41 Pretty much all of the early, "black box" games are the same as their Famicom counterparts. In fact, I think "Pinball" there in particular was actually one of those games with a converter inside, so it IS exactly the same. So, I just bought the Japanese versions for my AV Famicom, even though I have a 72 to 60 pin converter for it. They're a lot cheaper.

great video! maybe the Sega Master System and SG-3000 one day?

"Nintendo what is this?!" Wow! first time I ever heard someone saying that especially from a Japanese! Goes to show that hardly anyone maybe just a few Japanese people ever seen what the legendary game machine from the 80s they called "Famicom" look like in America! lmao. Dude, you're amazing! I can't believe you traveled all the way to Japan (Im freaking jealous now as I always wanted to go there myself one day lol) just to show your American collection on the other side of the world where Nintendo is better known and legendary famous over there! I never imagine myself what the Japanese thinks of the American console because I thought the Japanese already have a Nintendo and they wouldn't care or even bother to see what our own version of the Famicom look like from our country (the U.S.) again, you done an incredible job going there to show it off. I hope you can do the same for this guy with another console different in U.S.! The Nes had a completely different design probably to avoid confusion over regions at the time or they wanted to design their own Nintendo for the American company to release. Oddly, the same American shape stays within France, England, Australia, and even Germany! However, China and Hong Kong has Famicom there. Possibly Korea has one too as well.

I actually have Spartan X for my AV famicom, so that was a treat to see. But yeah Hiro is awesome. He's an absolute gem of a man

I’d love to visit the store at some point

I find it really strange that a guy who owns such a store with _Famicom_ in it's name has never seen a US NES before. He's never had the urge to research something like that, seen one come through his used game shop, or while out and about shopping in Japan...really?! Either way this was a great reaction video! Pretty funny. Hiro seems like an genuinely nice guy

Pretty much my first thought seeing the Famicom "What is this?". That's funny about the Zapper and customs concerns, it's not realistic and that is the land of plastic model guns. Oh you gave him an authentic NES experience with lock-out blinking. ^_^

Love everything in this video!!!

2:22 it's cool

This is the best.

Very awesome! I'm surprised a guy who owns a retro gaming store isn't familiar with the NES, though. I guess it goes to show how domestic the gaming industry is in Japan compared to other parts of the world.

You should have let him play supper MARIO bros two the USA version.

Great video

Will we ever get a large scale episode about the history of japanese retro gaming ever again, continuing where you stopped?

How does a guy who runs a video game store not have at least seen a picture of an American NES before?

still find it hard to believe that someone that has a game store never heard or seen one. don't know how never seen one.

? My Famicom opertion wolf not work with Lightgun.

Your daughter's a crack shot! xD Can't wait to see more of stuff on Spring Dojo. Will we be seeing a review of the Switch? :o

his reaction is so cute

can you do some more videos with this guy?

I wish you had a better selection of games for them to play. Looking at my NES library, its small but great. I enjoyed this video though.

Is Vink from Wisconsin? I saw the sticker on the NES cart and I've been to that store many times XD

Oh my god! There's just a copy of Kings Field sitting there!

It's exactly like GameStop in every way!//

When are you going to make another Full episode of Famicom Dojo (Similar to the ones in the early days of Famicom Dojo)? :)

should of showed him the Mario 2 the version from north america

Does the TV having a flat screen affect the light guns operation?

i saw a black cat, Edit: apparently it was a jacket not a cat

by the way, did you know it's possible to play Japanese Nintendo games on your American system? I only tried it with Gamecube and Super Nintendo but what about the American Nes is that possible? I saw a Game Genie for Nes but wasn't sure if it might play Famicom games since they are both differently designed but it might be more easier if we use the Nes Bone edition of the Nes? The Nes Bone was the 2nd model of the American Nes that was released during the early 90s. The Nes Bone would be the very first machine in American Nintendo where Nes gets a 2nd model but still the same console. The Nes Bone has a much easier design, you don't have to press the cartridge down when you insert it and possibly easier for the Game Genie if Japanese games can go on it if there no plastic tabs which require a tool to cut off the tabs.

That's nuts he's never seen an NES before! Hmm, Has he ever seen an SNES??? If not that's gotta be an upcoming video, would love to see his reaction. :D

Just wondering, how did you managed to hook up and play American Nes games in Japan? Did you used adapter or something similar? We use adapters here as well since I am no longer in U.S. (and therefor won't say where I am if the bully jerks from the internet are still stalking me! lmao XD )

should've shown off Mario 2 considering it's different from Japan, and is pretty much a reskin of doki doki panic

What a nice video.

10/10

should have told him 007 not star fox... also I'd totally​ take Hiro drinking. and your daughter is better at duck hunt than Sean .

you give the NES to hiro Mr Vinnk?

marioooooo marrrrriooooooo

Is that a flat-screen TV?

So is Hiro your brother in law.

I think it has something to do with the language barrier. But his reaction seems underwhelmed at first but to can tell he's definitely intrigued by the nes. I'm surprised that he didn't comment on the fact that you can change the controllers. The famicom hard wired theirs.

Hahha! I love it!!

Let the girl play mario

Not gonna buy he did not know what the Famicom looked like and was called in the world.

Show him Super Mario Bros. 2

Bare blæse det ikke

*DO EUROPEANS NEXT.*

Great video, i like the reaact to this guy. What its the name of the store. Sorry for my bad english. I´m from peru and i like the nes and the famicom both.
