Someone, please help me find a ntsc snes.
maxio098ui | 8:13 AM on 06.20.2008 17 comments


I have loads of snes games. A lot of good ones as well. But i don't have a snes anymore, well at least not a working one. I have a converter for ntsc to pal but the problem is that super metroid detects the converter and pisses on my chances of playing. My other problem is that I live in the Netherlands, so I cant get my hands on a ntsc snes.

Now i'm looking for someone who can help me get my hands on one. Ill pay any money needed.
Also the person who helps me can have all the cables and controllers(if they want) so I can save on shipping. Pleaassssee someone help me:) also anyone who wants something from europe, I can help:)

Found one. It's in my computer room. No, you can't have it.

Actually, theres a store near me that sells a whole bunch of retro gaming systems and games. I think a SNES went for either $55 USD or $65 USD, I'll have to double check. But yeah, I figure I'd be able to help you out getting one, assuming you'd be able to pay me for the system and shipping. Send me a PM or something to work out specific details, but I won't be back home until this Sunday afternoon, I'm going on a trip with some friends of mine.

Get one of these and hook your computer up to your TV maybe? This is what I use. http://retrousb.com/

EBay is your best chance at getting an actual console.

good luck. Oh, and how's Holland doing in the Euro cup? Since I got back to the States I can't be bothered to follow everything.

@Max
I'm also looking for one of those but my NTSC PS2 is a good substitute for now. Front Mission 3 FTW!

Where were you before I paid $130 for a PAL copy of Terranigma... :p

If you have any friends on this side of the pond, I'm sure they'd happily get a SNES (which aren't impossible to get a hold of), and send it to you. If not, you can fire me a PM and I'll see what I can do. :)

Max shoot me PM. I have a few SNES systems for sale.
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
I don´t want to offend MR Wilson but there is a great retro gamestore in Amsterdam:http://www.gameover.nl
They even sold a console like this (it was a bit different and fucking expensive €2000):


If you want to go there just gimme a call. I'll join you on a shopping spree! Because I still need to find a new SNES a couple NeoGeo pocket games and some NTSC consoles.

maxio098ui's Destructoid Blog
ey takeshi is that the one they have with a 1500euro sticker on it?:P, i know game over has alot of stuff but if they kad a ntsc one it would probaly be expensive
maxio098ui's Destructoid Blog
thx torpedoted for the link ill check them
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Haha Max, I was there when the store owner just arrived from Japan. They probably had to take 500 off the price (and probably 1400 more if you ask me). They're not that expensive though. Not the 'normal' stuff anyway. I would give 'em a call if I were you (you're not going to leave that shop empty handed so a call is better than a visit).
Mr Wilson's Destructoid Blog
Takeshi...So... there is an awesome retro gamestore...in Amsterdam. I didnt think I could want to visit more than I already did.
