Yes a Japanese Nintendo Famicom Will Work on a US TV
July 17, 2013 23:47After a little bit of homework and a quick order from Amazon, I have been able to get my Japanese Nintendo Famicom to work on an HD TV in the United States!!

This extra part of the trash can is for you to dump your remaining drink and ice, and then recycle your cup. I am not sure why they do the cups, but the extra drink and ice makes sense. Nothing worse than leaky garbage bags. The cups are made of paper so I wouldn't see a problem with them being in the trash, but hey that's just me.

One of the groups that stood out for me was Puffy AmiYumi. I put the full name but in Japan they are just known as PUFFY (Sorry PDiddy LOL).
