Famicom Box

The Super Famicom Box is a video game system created by Nintendo that incorporated a "pay to play" mechanism in a manner similar to arcade machines. It was sold only in Japan in the early 1990s and was only available for installation in hotel rooms. The device consists of Super Famicom console hardware enclosed in a box along with a coin acceptor for time-limited playing of video games. The device includes original Super Famicom controllers. The Super Famicom Box cartridge that contains Super Mario Kart, Star Fox and the Super Mario Collection is required to operate the system as it also contains the system BIOS. The games from the Super Famicom Box multicarts are identical to traditional Super Famicom games.
