I wasn't aware they were still selling the systems in Japan 
!
I WAS however aware that they were still doing the service of letting anyone send in their old Famicom Disk System disks with about what would be $5 here and Nintendo would write whatever Famicom Disk System game they wanted to to the disk, so in other words people could get Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, and so on so long as they had a disk to spare this whole time!
I'm surprised they are stopping if it's been going on this long though... I wonder how long the N64 will still be selling in Japan, or if the Virtual Boy by any chance is actually still selling there?
Japan rocks... No wonder it takes such a long time for anyone to decide to do a game remake. And, Hudson is making some sort of compilation disk for GCN? Nifty.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
