What the fuck is a "Famicom."

The Japanese name for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was the NES in America and the Nintendo Famicom in Japan.

Since this has been explained many times before and people still don't get it but I've got nothing better to do, I'll explain the whole FFVI FFIII deal.

In America:

On the NES, there was Final Fantasy I-Final Fantasy III. Later on the SNES, there was Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest(considered Final Fantasy I) and Final Fantasy II-Final Fantasy III. The NES and SNES games were completely different games, but since we American's aren't too bright, we decided to cause a lot of confusion by doing things the way we did.

In Japan:

On the Famicon, Final Fantasy I-Final Fantasy III(same as Final Fantasy I-Final Fantasy III on American NES) were released. Later, on the Super Famicon, Final Fantasy IV-Final Fantasy VI were released. Final Fantasy IV was the equivalent of the American SNES Final Fantasy II. Final Fantasy V was a game never released in America on the SNES(later released for the PS1) and Final Fantasy VI was the equivalent of the American SNES Final Fantasy III.

I'm not exactly sure what the situation was with Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest in Japan. My guess would be it was just released as a separate game outside of the series or it was never released at all. Either way, it doesn't matter.

i have II and III ^_^ but the only flaw is i dont have either of the cases, how much would that decrease the value and how much could i still get for them?

You could probably get about $50-60 for each of them providing you have the game, booklet, maps, and advertising stuff that came with them. I'm assuming they're all in good, but not mint, condition.

If you just have the cartridges, you could get... around $45 I'm thinking.

Complete sets usually go for around $100, and I've yet to see a factory sealed one.

I thought they thought FF3 was FF6 or something like that...

Japanese FFVI is American FFIII. However, he asked for rare games on the SNES, and there was no FFVI on SNES.

I am wholly right by principle alone. None shall contest it. It is fact. End of statement. Period.

NES = Nintendo Entertainment System (US)
Famicom = Family Computer (Jap)

SNES = Super Nintendo Entertainment System (US)
Super Famicom = Super Family Computer (Jap)

The game's actual title is Final Fantasy 6, but Bob is right in that there was never a game named "Final Fantasy 6" released on the SNES.

(Or if you have an ebay account just search for SNES under games, with completed auctions to see what games have sold for in the past, sort it by highest price first)

Completely forgot about Super Metroid...

Super Punchout may be worth a little bit as well.

I recently bought Super Punchout for less than 20 bucks using Buy It Now. I'm sure you could swindle more than that out of a moron, but most people wouln't pay too much beyond that.

i have ffII just the game and ffIII the booklet and the game
