Wars, one of Nintendo’s finest series—and one they seem intent on leaving to die in the cold like a dog—blew up in the West on the Game Boy Advance, but in Japan it’s a lot older.

In 2016, the dad from YouTube channel RuiRei Channel created a Famicom console costume to wear with his twin sons. This year, they’re back with the totally logical follow up: a Super Famicom costume.

When the Nintendo Classic Mini Super Famicom was announced for Japan earlier this year, there was one glaring omission: Mother 2 (Earthbound in the West). Nintendo recently explained to Famitsu why this is.

Last month, pre-orders for the Super Famicom Mini drew long lines at cities across Japan. Today the console went on sale. Lines were much shorter, but there were sell outs.

This Saturday, pre-orders for the Classic Mini Super Famicom kicked off in Japan. At stores in Tokyo and Osaka, fans showed up in droves.

Japan is getting slightly different titles included with the Super Famicom Classic, such as Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem and Konami’s The Legend of the Mystical Ninja. There is one glaring omission.

For those who still own a Super Famicom (or are planning to get one), good news! The console is getting a new cartridge this year.

I know the Switch is a portable console in theory, but it feels so precious in the hand. This custom handheld, on the other hand, has some heft.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow. It is a day of stuffing, gravy, and turkey. A glorious day where we yell at each other about politics before drunkenly apologizing later in the evening. No matter how hard it gets, know that it could away get worse. This banquet in Final Fantasy VI sure did.

Love, everyone.

The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets is a nearly forgotten spinoff title originally made for the Super Famicom Satellaview but a new fan English translation has brought the game back to the masses.

On November 21, 1990, Nintendo Japan released three amazing things—the first F-Zero, Super Mario World and a console to play them on. It was a very good day.

It’s a good time to be alive if you like books about consoles from the 90s. Sega fans got an amazing Genesis/Mega Drive coffee table book last year, and now SNES fans are getting one, albeit with a slightly different approach.

It's not every day you get to see a Super Famicom (aka SNES) sitting on top of Japan's highest mountain.

Long-time readers will know I'm a sucker for good Japanese box art, but this story and gallery really helps drive home how awesome it is, and how awesome it's always been.
