8 Bit Music Power will be the first new Famicom game in over two decades
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Columbus Circle is coming out with the first Famicom title in 21 years. In Japan, “8 Bit Music Power” is arriving on January 31 for 3,800 yen.
8 Bit Music Power features a collection of old-fashioned chiptunes packaged in an original Famicon cartridge. 12 pieces of music composed by videogame sound creators will be included.
Those who are interested in 8 Bit Music Power for the NES would need an adapter to play it. However, it’s possible that the title will eventually leave Japan, assuming there’s enough interest.
A spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal:
“This was just a project among old Nintendo fans around us. We were surprised at the overwhelming reaction we’ve received. Fans and major retailers in the U.S. asked us to make the product available there.”
Columbus Circle also said it plans to make more Famicon cartridges, including new games for the system.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Walmart has added the 8-bit Mario amiibo to its website. Naturally though, due to Black Friday, the retailer is being absolutely slammed at the moment. That means you’ll probably have some issues adding the figure to your cart. It might be easier to try nabbing him later in the day!
I’ll also quickly mention that some other Walmart deals that we previously posted about are now starting to go live. That includes the Smash Bros. and Splatoon Wii U bundle for $250.
