Nintendo is launching a Mini-Famicom

With a miniature Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) arriving in the US on November 11, Japan will soon get a bite-sized version of its own old-school console in the Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer (Famicom).
Like the Mini-NES, the Mini-Famicom comes with 30 pre-installed games that you can’t uninstall or replace. The entire unit literally fits in one’s hand and comes with the original controllers. Connecting the console to a television is done through HDMI.
The game lineup for the Japanese version of the compact console is slightly different, despite having the same number of titles. Here’s the list in alphabetical order:
- Atlantis no Nazo
- Balloon Fight
- Castlevania
- Donkey Kong
- Double Dragon II: The Revenge
- Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundoukai
- Dr. Mario
- Excitebike
- Final Fantasy III
- Galaga
- Ghosts ‘n Goblins
- Gradius
- Ice Climber
- Kirby’s Adventure
- Legend of Zelda, The
- Mario Bros.
- Mario Open Golf
- Mega Man 2
- Metroid
- Ninja Gaiden
- Pac-Man
- River City Ransom
- Solomon’s Key
- Super Contra
- Super Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros. 2
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Tsuppari Ozumo
- Yie Ar Kung-Fu
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
It’s a solid list of games, especially when you consider the JPY 5,980 price tag, or around $59. Japan will even get its classic console earlier; November 10 is the expected launch date.

No matter which side you lean on in the console wars, Sony’s PlayStation 4 carried one of the most robust lineup of console exclusives during its life cycle, especially compared to Microsoft’s own palette of exclusives. You have Bloodborne, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Just Cause 4, just to name a few. Naturally, the brilliant lineup of exclusives helps the company convince people to buy into the PlayStation ecosystem.
However, since the PlayStation 5 is already thriving, Sony no longer has a lot of reasons to keep their exclusives locked in its vault. Now, as confirmed by PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan, more PlayStation games are coming to the PC this year.
In an interview with GQ about the PlayStation 5’s upcoming VR program, Ryan lets loose that “there’s an opportunity to expose those great games to a wider audience.” As game development technology improves over the years, PlayStation can now deliver console exclusive to non-console owners more easily.
Last year, PlayStation broke a lot of ground by releasing the Horizon Zero Dawn base game and expansion pack to the PC. Though the PC port came with a host of niggles, it was still a refreshing change of pace from Sony’s formerly strict release policies. Besides the popular RPG, PlayStation also allowed Quantic Dream to release Detroit: Become Human on PC.
In fact, right on cue, Bend Studios soon announced that the former PlayStation exclusive Days Gone is coming to PC sometime this spring. Given Ryan’s comments, Days Gone is likely just the first round of PC releases for PlayStation 4 games this year.

Thought it was released way back in 2012, Diablo III is still one of the most reliable hack-and-slash roleplaying games available today, thanks to consistent development and a thriving season system. Of course, before it got to this point, the franchise thrived on the previous entry, Diablo II, now a classic game praised for its difficulty and fun gameplay. This year, Blizzard is bringing it all back. During the online-only BlizzCon 2021, the company has officially announced a modern remaster, Diablo II Resurrected.
To celebrate the original game’s 21st anniversary, Diablo II Resurrected brings the classic game to a new generation, complete with new graphics. During its time, the original game had crude, but reliable graphics laid over an isometric format. As shown in the short announcement trailer, Diablo II Resurrected features new graphics similar to that found in the third entry, Diablo III.

Diablo II Resurrected will include both the base game and the 2001 expansion, Lord of Destruction. While the base game features the franchise’s titular villain, Diablo, the expansion pits the player against the third Prime Evil, Baal.
Strewn across five acts, the game takes players across differing difficulties and seven different character classes: Amazon, Assassin, Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Paladin, and Sorceress.
The HD remaster will launch sometime this year for the PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X/S. Notably, the PC version will allow cross-platform progression across the different console version.
While Blizzard is taking a step back with this announcement, the company is also developing a mobile version, Diablo Immortal, and the next main entry to the series, Diablo IV.
