The Super Famicom Box

The Super Famicom Box is the apt name that describes a rare, box-shaped Super Famicom that was exclusively launched in Japan and was destined to be only used in hotels. You can grab one via this Super Famicom Box auction. The console comes complete with 5 built-in games (Super Mario Kart, Super Mario Collection, Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country and Super Tetris) and a controller. It is in full working condition and the seller ships worldwide.

    1. Highly understandable that. Thankfully I have finally decided on a Vectrex and cannot be tempted by anything else (at the moment).

  3. This is awesome, I wish more hotels here had Game systems in them. I vaguely remember playing an Snes in a hotel the controller seemed to come right out of the tv no huge sweet box.

    1. Hmmm... we must research this! Oh, and don't think I've ever gotten a console-sporting hotel room.

    2. I remember this. I stayed at a Marriott in Atlanta right after the SNES came out. They had the controller out of the TV like setup. Spent three or four days playing Pilotwings, Mario and Zelda.
