At the same time we get the Nintendo Classic Mini in the west, Japan's getting a tiny Famicom with its own games selection...
Back in July, Nintendo announced the Classic Mini - a dinky version of the classic Nes packaged with some of 80s console's classic games. If, like us, you were quietly hoping that Nintendo of Japan might release a miniaturised incarnation of the country's own Famicom, your prayers have been answered.
The Nintendo Classic Mini Family Computer, to give the machine its full title, is a perfect recreation of the original console, right down to the little red, wired-in controllers and the metallic label running across the front. The selection of 30 games is slightly different, too - courtesy of Destructoid, here's the list, with the ones exclusive to the Famicom marked with an asterisk:
Donkey Kong Mario Bros. Pac-Man Excitebike Balloon Fight Ice Climber Galaga...

I recently posted a great piece of art that featured a little kid blowing into an original Nintendo Entertainment System game cartridge. It got me thinking about all the games I used to play back in the day, and I started looking up some old stuff to reminisce on those good old days. As I was skimming through some stuff, a lot of video game cartridge images were popping up and I noticed there was some really cool art that was created for some of these games. One of the other things I noticed is that the bad art outweighed the good, so I thought I'd pluck out a few of the coolest Nes game cartridge illustrations that I came across and do a little post for them. Castlevania sure seemed to know what they were doing when it came to the art as the first three games top the list.
