Note that Famicom carts come in a variety of heights, so drawers and cases won't hold everything unless you lie stuff down, but racks should have no problems.
  
 People 3-D print a variety of little racks (sometimes called display stands) on Etsy, and I assume other places like that. People 3-D print a variety of little racks (sometimes called display stands) on Etsy, and I assume other places like that.

 +Main issue I've run into is games just needing a clean. First steps is to just try cleaning the connector with some isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds/swabs. If that's not successful and they still look dirty you can use an eraser to try remove whatever junk is on there, but you'll have to open the cartridge to do so.\\ NES carts are held together with screws, but Famicom carts are held with clips and will need to be pried open. Heat and/or pressure in the right spots help a lot here. Still, sometimes you may end up breaking a plastic clip :(
