Happy 40th Anniversary to the Famicom!

[Tedhaun]

40 years ago, Nintendo released the Family Computer (or Famicom for short), a console that would be remodeled and released in the west as the NES roughly 2 years later. Nintendo of Japan set up a dedicated webpage for the Famicom's 40th Anniversary to celebrate the occasion, here's the link for those interested (NOTE: Everything's in Japanese).

What will you be doing to celebrate the occasion? I may fire up either the NES Remix Pack or Ultimate NES Remix later today or later this month as my way to celebrate. As much as I want to see the NES Remix games ported to the Switch, I'm not getting my hopes up of Nintendo shadow-dropping ports of both games on the Switch separately and/or as a bundle (one can dream though).

If you want to bring up your fave Famicom or NES games, you can do so in the favourite NES games thread.

P.S.: Don't ask me why Popeye (one of the only first party launch titles not featured) or Popeye no Eigo Asobi aren't on the link above. May have to do with Namco owning the rights to the game and/or King Features Syndicate.

Still a great console even if I don't think I would replay anything other than Megaman 2 and maybe fire and ice.
