Nintendo Reveals The Mini-Famicom For Japan
The Mini-NES is cute, but the Mini-Family Computer is cuter.
Nintendo has already announced the Mini-NES for North America, but the company has followed up with a second mini-console: a tiny version of the Nintendo Family Computer. The Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer is coming to Japan on November 10 for 5,980 yen. Like the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition, the Mini-Famicom comes pre-loaded with 30 8-bit games, though the Japanese system has a different list of titles.
Oddly enough, while the Mini-NES has detachable controllers, it looks like the Mini-Famicom controllers are always attached. It's also worth noting that the controllers are tiny. Tiny as hell.
Here's the full list of Mini-Famicom games:
- Donkey Kong
- Mario Bros.
- Pac-Man
- Excitebike
- Balloon Fight
- Ice Climber
- Galaga
- Yie Ar Kung-Fu
- Super Mario Bros.
- The Legend of Zelda
- Atlantis no Nazo
- Gradius
- Ghosts 'n Goblins
- Solomon's Key
- Metroid
- Castlevania
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
- Tsuppari Ozumo (Shoving Sumo)
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Ninja Gaiden
- Mega Man 2
- Double Dragon II: The Revenge
- Super Contra
- Final Fantasy III
- Dr. Mario
- River City Ransom
- Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundoukai (A River City Ransom Title)
- Mario Open Golf
- Super Mario USA (US version of Super Mario Bros. 2)
- Kirby's Adventure
Notable new titles include Yie Ar Kung-Fu, Solomon's Key, Final Fantasy III, Mario Club Golf, River City Ransom, Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundoukai, Atlantis no Nazo, and Tsuppari Ozumo. The games that are exclusive to the NES Classic include Bubble Bobble, Castlevania 2, Donkey Kong Jr, Final Fantasy, Kid Icarus, Punch Out, Startropics, and Tecmo Bowl.
