We’ve been telling it to you for years (they just wouldn’t listen), but at CES Japanese upstart Nintendo’s finally announced they’re importing their Nintendo Family Computer (Famicom, as they call it over in Japan) to the US. They even gave their box a slick redesign! The new Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) isn’t top-loading anymore, but features a totally crazy spring-loaded insertion mechanism (you’ll have to try it to believe it) and even non hardwired controllers. Unfortunately they made it so you can’t play those bootleg games on the NES anymore, but this hot 8-bit piece of machinery might just compete against the Amiga and Commodore… if it’s lucky."
