It seems as though Nintendo’s retro fuelled console the Famicom Mini is off to a good start in Japan. Recent numbers provided by Famitsu show that the console has sold 262,961 units during a period of four days in the land of the rising sun. Here’s how it compares to previous console launches in the country:

I want one of these SO bad, but I’ll never have one because of those crazy prices on PlayAsia. And YouTuber RGT 85 said that PlayAsia had decent prices. What was he smoking?
total failure.

I can’t tell if they had stock issues like we had here in the States with NES Mini. Congrats if they didn’t.
