Nintendo Co. has resumed sales in Japan of a smaller, palm-sized version of its 35-year-old popular Famicom game console, in response to requests from fans for its revival.
Many stores in Japan sold out of the Nintendo Classic Mini Family Computer console after its initial release in November 2016, and the firm halted its production in April 2017.
As of Thursday the mini console is now back on sale, preloaded with 30 games — including "Super Mario Bros." and "The Legend of Zelda" — and carries a suggested retail price of ¥6,458 (about $59). Players can plug the console into a television or PC monitor and play the games with a pair of controllers.
