I'm thinking about getting one, but I wanna know all the dirt about its compatibility on a North American television. Also, the power supply for the japanese one is 100V, is that safe to use in North American power outlets?

Yes and Yes. The only issues are that A) if you use an RF switch (which you shouldn't) the channels will be different (or untuneable) and B) the AC adaptor may run a little warm. keep it well ventilated.

I use an RF switch for my Famicom. It works fine on Channel 95. Are you sure it's not a good idea?

RF is never a good idea. Only use it as a last resort, as composite (or better) will keep your eyes from bleeding.

Come again?

A/V cables. the yellow and white (and red) ones. RF switches make the video blurry.

RF provides a noticeably crappier picture than composite, so unless you want the worst image quality, you're better off connecting via something else.

Famicom has RF. We were lucky the NES included composite and audio out.

Now i wouldn't say that it's the opposite for the nes top loader wich has rf,but the jpn top loader has the av.

The NES uses RF, the SNES uses RF, hell even the Turbo uses RF. Is RF really that bad?

It works, I suppose, but AV is much clearer when using all of these. once you try it, you'll never want to go back.

in technical terms, it's considered as the baddest you just can get.

Well I do admit, my RF cables must be showing their age, because I see a little bit of fuzziness on the screen alot.... Hmmm....

even if you use cables made of pure silver with a huge diameter and with goldplated joints, it still would remain the baddest signal you just can get.
