As other people have said, Japan used an NTSC-based system.

I’m in the UK but I ended up buying a Super Famicom to play SNES games* because I didn’t want to play the crappy slowed-down PAL versions and a good-condition SFC was significantly cheaper than a US SNES. The Japanese/European case design is also way cooler than the US one imo.

Funnily enough the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis power supply is a perfect match for connecting a Super Famicom to a UK power socket.

*I know US SNES carts are physically larger and won’t fit in an SFC without an adaptor, but I was using a flash cart with an SFC-sized shell. I had it connected to a CRT at the time so I wanted real hardware rather than emulation.
