Will a Japanese Famicom aka Japanese Nintendo mess up if it is plugged into an American outlet?
No, that's just a myth. It will work if plugged in correctly. Always check the voltage of a foreign device before plugging it in. Mayny electronic devices nowadays use switching powersupplies with wide input voltage ranges. As it is cheaper to design one supply capable of handling 100-240VAC on the input as opposed to one for each country's individual supply, they do that instead. On the power block or on the back of the unit there will be a sticker or molding that says the input voltage range. If it says 220V only, it cannot be used directly in the US, special steps are needed. If it says 120V, or a range encompasing 120V, it will work. Also note the line frequency. Again, most devices don't care (The first thing a switcher does is rectify it to DC), but if it doesn't say 60hz it will not work correctly. You have to use a converter. Because Japanese things have a different voltage level than America. Japan uses 100V, which is 60 hertz in western Japan and 50 hertz in eastern Japan. Radio Shack sells the converter you need.
