The Japan-only Famicon Mini looks amazing

The western market is getting the NES Mini in November, but the NES began life in Japan back in July 1983 as the Famicon, and Nintendo is obviously making a mini version of this too.

Announced overnight, the Famicon Mini is exactly what you'd expect, shrinking down the classic "family computer" to something which measures only 14cm x 10cm and bundling in 30 classic titles.

Something which differentiates the Famicon Mini from the NES Mini – apart from its looks – is the fact it features two hardwired controllers as standard. The NES Mini ships with one detachable controller, with a second able to be connected.

As with the NES Mini there will be an HDMI output offering up to 720p, and the device can be powered with a USB adapter.

Here's the included games list (which will be in Japanese only):

  • Donkey Kong
  • Pac-Man
  • Excitebike
  • Balloon Fight
  • Ice Climber
  • Galaga
  • Yie Ar Kung-Fu
  • Super Mario Bros
  • The Legend of Zelda
  • Atlantis no Nazo
  • Gradius
  • Makai Village
  • Solomon’s Key
  • Metroid
  • Castlevania
  • Adventure of Link
  • Bumping Sumo
  • Super Mario Bros. 3
  • Ninja Gaiden
  • Mega Man 2
  • River City Ransom
  • Double Dragon Ⅱ: The Revenge
  • Super Tamashito Luo
  • Final Fantasy Ⅲ
  • Dr. Mario
  • Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari
  • Downtown Soreyuke Daiundoukai
  • Mario Open Golf
  • Super Mario USA
  • Kirby’s Adventure

Nintendo's Famicon Mini launches in Japan on November 10. Those wanting a NES Mini in time for Christmas better get an order in quick as launch stock appears to be selling out.
