Toarcade has posted a number of photos of the Nintendo Copilas. These copy machines went on sale starting in 1971 for 9,800 yen.

Back in the day, the Japanese government supplied schools nationwide with Copilas machines. Hiroshi Yamauchi, former president of Nintendo, previously mentioned that they were designed to break easily so that the company could earn profits from repairs.

While Copilas machines were originally produced in large numbers, it’s tough to come across them these days – especially one complete in box. It makes for a rare piece of Nintendo history!

Word on the street is that Nintendo will not be publishing Devil’s Third in North America, unlike Europe and Japan. However, Siliconera claims that another company has already picked up the game for release in the states.

The site states in a new report, “Siliconera has learned Devil’s Third will be released here by a publisher Siliconera readers are quite familiar with.”

I’d guess that XSEED will be handling Devil’s Third in North America. I could be wrong though!
