Seems there's some quirky stuff coming out due to the re-release of the famicom, along with the wave of famicom classic coloured power adapters and usb cables theres some pretty cool famicom classic magazines been issued.
My fave bit of merchandise is this though, a tiny storage box to keep your cables in when not in use, looks just like a disk system. As a bonus they even include the missing clear info stickers for the power and reset switch to add to your famicom classic to make it look 100% authentic.

Very cool. I don't really need a storage box, but in terms of completing the look.... smart.

Yeah it's not really needed i have to agree, as most of the time the cables are going to be left plugged in. Yet due to it making it look like a complete disk system setup i ended up ordering one lol, i'm sure i can find bits & pieces to put in it. May use it to store my famicom mini GBA carts.
Anyone wanting to blow 972 yen on one can find them here, but they may need a middleman service as i don't know if Amazon will ship this direct.

Unboxing videos starting to appear, not many up so far. Not the best unboxing that's for sure. Do love the box art on it though.

Here's a pretty thorough unboxing (+comparison to the original Famicom): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIyNqAqgP6A
Picked mine up this afternoon without much trouble. The biggest Geo store in my area was sold out but another local hobby store had five or six of them in stock.
I live in the sticks though. No idea what the stock in big cities is like.
Not had a chance to give it a proper go but it's a nice wee device. Played through the first four stages of SMB and had no problem with the cable length which was a big concern for many. The size of the controllers may be a problem for those of you with big hands though as they are absolutely tiny.
Took some pics before I hooked it up.

had a minor wtf moment.
DHL was going to send my package to east EAST WINDSOR, NJ when I clearly put in my postal code they used District/Suburb instead of using City and guessed which one I was in which fucked things up so I had to have it sent to an alternative address which was my real address
Well this looks promising lol

I bought the Disk System add-on.
I'm a sucker.

Mine already arrived at tenso. I opted not to use direct (DHL), they suck, they're fast but they suck. I dunno if it's the same in another place but in Toronto, I think they use like a 3rd party courier from their sorting facilities to my door. Most of the package that I received, the box was damaged but most are minor damage. And only a small percentage are slightly damage and maybe 2-3 are really bad (more or less).

Same here. I placed my order while I was stuck in a meeting so I didn't know there was another listing wtih the Amazon exclusive stuff...

Were the postcards pre-order only or any chance they will be included in amazon's next restock?
Found a few at the local geo easily enough, but tempted to wait and see.

Man that 30 card postcard set is awesome. Didn't realize that was coming with this.
Technically it wasn't, amazon jp usually have their own limited edition where they usually add stuff like postcards, folders, keychains, pouch, etc... The package with amazon jp are usually more expensive and in most cases when the regular item (without the amazon jp limited stuff included) drops down in price, the one with the limited stuff usually stays around the same price. Also the amazon jp limited bundle tend to sell out faster if the item is popular.

I'd buy these if they offered wireless options.
The short cords kill the hype for me.

More famitat hehe, a quite nice storage case has gone up on Amazon. Reminds me of the ones from old for the super famicom & famicom. As with the disk system box it also comes with stickers to add to your famicom to replace the missing power & reset button info.

Nope. The only options available are for the different screen modes, screensaver, auto shutdown and auto play mode.
