To celebrate the 20th birthday of the Famicom (read: NES), Nintendo Japan revived some of the ancient but legendary games...

On Saturday the 14th of February, Nintendo of Japan will release the Game Boy Advance SP 'Famicom-edition'. Don't mix this one up with the previous GBA SP based on the Famicom colors (which was only available during a certain contest in Japan for Club Mario-members): this version has a slightly different design, as you can see in the images below.

But that's not it. Nintendo also revived 10 of the best-selling games from the Famicom era. Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Excite Bike, Legend of Zelda, Ice Climber, Pac-Man, Xevious, Mappy, Bomberman and Star Soldier will become available as the 'Famicom Mini'-series.

The Game Boy Advance SP 'Famicom-edition' will be put on the Japanese market on the 14th of February for a price of 12500 Yen (about 93 euro's). The games from the 'Famicom Mini'-series will hit the stores on the same day and will cost you 2000 Yen (15 euro's) a piece, which isn't that much for a great game.
