Nintendo Retro Revival | Famicom Mini Resurrected?

By Adam Riley 24.08.2004 1


Famicom Mini to Keep On Rolling...
...Nintendo Changes it Mind!


Whilst it was looking rather bleak for the retro-filled madness that is the Famicom Mini series over in Japan, with the second series' total sales nowhere near matching the magnificent numbers of the first batch, upon the launch of series three there has been a major upturn. The latest, and supposedly last, ten titles were in memory of the ancient Famicom Disk system and has surprised everybody by proving to be a massive success in its GBA re-release format.

Therefore, unsurprisingly, it is being talked about that Nintendo over in Japan, whilst just discontinuing the actual Famicom-themed GBA: SP, is in serious talks as to whether its call for the Famicom Mini series to cease was rather short-sighted and in fact there should at least be a fourth outing to quench the retro thirst the Japanese otaku seem to have currently.
