Hello all.

I recently acquired a rare CIB Sharp Famicom Titler from a well known collector who is distributing his collection (with proceeds being contributed to a local charity of his).  This beast is HUGE - around 4 inches wider than an Xbox 360 and 2 inches deeper.  This system kind of resembles a mixing station of sorts.  This console was only released in Japan in limited quantities.  The purpose of it was to allow input from a VCR\camcorder and to edit it with subtitles and themes (seasonal, 'holidays, etc.).  There was a built-in drawing screen to allow text\action input from the included stylus.  Flipping a button would switch to Famicom 'mode' featuring full compatiabilty with S-Video output (the only Famicom version to feature this).  Enough of the banter, here are some pics:

The base unit.  The circle indentation actually pops up when a Famicom cart is inserted and acts as an eject button.  The 'drawing/input' screen is in the lower middle of the console.

Back of the unit featuring the inputs and S-Video output.

The system with it's styrofoam housing, documents and packaging.  This is the contents contained within a very generic outer casing (not pictured).

Thought it might be interesting to everyone.  Happy gaming!

Wow, that's an awesome looking system. The fact it has native S-Video makes it an odd one indeed, especially for 1989!

Thanks guys!  Yes - I think it is a very cool looking as well.  Time to bust out that VCR of mine and give it a test in a few days.
