Best Hardware for NES Games Today?

[Parodius Duh!]

I honestly wasn't thinking of imports when I gave my original answer, but now that I am it doesn't change much. I can't think of many import Famicom games I want to play, outside of Fire Emblem, Mother and Sweet Home (two of those can be gotten on repro carts nowadays).

I have a question though: Didn't Famicom Disk System games come on plain ol' computer floppies? Doesn't that mean most of them will be trash now? Or am I wrong, and there is actually a point to owning an FDS?

Not floppies, but a hard disk with no dust cover (although they do include a sleeve to cover the disk). Surprisingly you rarely, if ever come across a game thats deleted from the disk, usually only loose discs that have lost their sleeve may be deleted, but if thats the case there are plenty of people out there who can re-write disks and basically put any game, including cart exclusives, onto the disks. So, it is very much worth owning a FDS if you ask me!
