One of the most important gaming consoles of all time, the Famicom, was released in Japan 35 years ago today, and Nintendo hasn't looked back since.
Whether you feel old by this news or weren't around to enjoy it, it's safe to say we can all agree there's no denying the Famicom's influence. Happy 35th, you wonderful hunk of plastic! And thanks for the memories.
Amazon Japan has started shipping internationally the Gold Famicom Classic Mini, also known as the Famicom Classic Mini: Weekly Shonen Jump 50th Anniversary Edition.
"Takeshi’s Challenge, hailed as one of the worst games of all time, is a game released in 1986 for the Famicom system. Developed by Taito Corporation, it was designed by comedian, actor, and film director Beat Takeshi (Takeshi Kitano), who made it very clear that he was “a man who hates video games.” Critically, the reception of the game differed, with some deeming its game design abusive while others praised it for its peculiarity; regardless, it sold 800,000 copies within its lifetime. According to the first episode of the Japanese TV show GameCenter CX, rumor has it that the developers of the game met with Takeshi at a bar, and put as many of his ideas as they could into the game directly; even when he was drunk. Thus, the plot of Takeshi’s Challenge was born."
