Hello Patrons! Oh boy, was this an involving video to make. I actually got these consoles late last year, but got busy with other projects between then and now. I've spent the past couple weeks working on this video and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It's a mix of my usual style, with a fully scripted segment sandwiched in between. Hope you enjoy!

I Bought Nintendo Famicoms for $20... Will They Work?

EPILEPSY WARNING: This video contains rapid flashing imagery between 13:50 and 17:30. So I recently picked up a couple of Japanese game consoles - specifically a Nintendo Famicom and Super Famicom. And they only cost me $20 each... but will they work?
