I believe this means that, if you're in Japan, and your Famicom breaks down, Nintendo won't help repair or replace it.

That's not that crazy. Apple doesn't support OS9 systems anymore, nor do their new operating systems run on anything but 1GHZ G4's or higher.

It's pretty sad, but hey, that's progress. I'm sure there are plenty of places where you can get your NES repaired.

Have you never pulled out your old school systems just for the hell of it?

I imagine they still make/made the console and accessories for it in small (very small) quantities for those who might order new parts online or something. Hell, the AC adaptor for my NES are broken atm so I can't enjoy my games from back in the day...

Eh, just get the JNES and download the game.

it has a built in game genie too, so no worries.

What?!?!? What kind of operation is Nintendo running here....a company should support a system for AT LEAST 25 years - 24 years is just shameful!

:P

This would be news to anyone here who doesn't read every other blog that even remotely talks about games.

How come Nintendo Wii Fanboy is about 3 days late on news at times?

It is about time for Nintendo to drop support for the Famicom , it has been out for more than 20 years right?
