Nintendo to reboot classic Famicom game console

Hoping to turn golden oldies into silver, Nintendo Co. is to relaunch its hit Famicom gaming console, 33 years after the device first gripped the nation. The new version has a similar appearance but is significantly smaller than the original. Named Nintendo Classic Mini Family Computer, it will come loaded with 30 retro games, including "Super Mario Bros.," "The Legend of Zelda" and "Donkey Kong." Launched in 1983, the original sold more than 60 million units worldwide. It was known overseas as the Nintendo Entertainment System and is considered the ancestor of modern-day products such as the PlayStation and Xbox.
