Famicom SP and Famicom series

[Shooting Love]

I'm under the impression that all the games are simply rereleases.
But, you'd think there's got to be more to them than what was available with the e-reader card.

[Rocca]

The system is pretty... I might pick one up.

Doubtful... but I might.

.......... wait a minute, what did you say?

[MVS]

yay! More cool shit we occidentals will never see!
edit:and if we do, it'll have shit packaging....

Miyamoto and a white man walk to a house and ring the doorbell. The door opens.
The white man speaks: Hello, this is Miyamoto and he thought so much of your good posting, he wanted to bring you a free GBA SP, GC, 100 free games, and then tell you his life story as you play games.
You: What? He didn't even bring me a soda?
Door slams.

fuck, although it'll be worth it, it's gonna be somewhat annoying to have to get most of that stuff.

You're right, since most of the stock in Kanto plain sold out (or damn near did) in the first day.

Why isn't VGD offering all the Famicom Mini games?

Gonna have to go with NCSX on this one, when I get some money.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

and then tell you his life story
Door slams.

who wouldn't slam the door?

This is quite tempting, but I'm trying to save up some money to build a new computer later on this year, plus my Pearl White FFTA SP is sexy enough.

Still tempting as hell, though, bbobb might come in here to try and sell me on one. The dark side is powerful indeed

Some nice 1st week sales according to Media Create...

5 GBA Famicom Mini: Super Mario Brothers Nintendo 65,100 65,100
6 GBA Famicom Mini: The Legend of Zelda #1 Nintendo 47,000 47,000
7 GBA Famicom Mini: Donkey Kong Nintendo 38,100 38,100

...not bad for direct NES ports. All totaled, the 10 FC-mini games probably cleared 200k. SP hardware got a nice boost this week too, coming in first among game platforms...

platform this week last week 2004 total
1 GBASP 99,100 50,600 615,000

[Bacon McShig]

NOA would no doubt see similar results if they released an NES-styled SP.

...ah, if only someone could find a way to inject an inkling of marketing savvy into them.

That new Metroid GBA "Who are you?" commercial is pretty cool.

I'd love to have those games, but I'm not much of acollector, so I'll probably pass. Be cool to win a contest with the whole lot though.
