No luck, seems like they were gone by the time I got out of work.
Edit: Fake news, see under.

A NES Classic like this Famicom would be interesting. A list of games I think would be cool are: Kung Fu, M.U.S.C.L.E. Tag Team Match, Fist of the North Star, Dragon Warrior, Dragon Power, TMNT 1-3, TMNT Tournament Fighters, Batman, Goonies, Goonies 2, Yo! Noid, Duck Tales, The Little Mermaid, Darkwing Duck, Fester's Quest, Town & Country Surf Designs, Popeye, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Duck Tales 2, Rescue Rangers, Rescue Rangers 2, Little Nemo: The Dream Master
The first five games I listed may be odd choices but I think they work and are a nice nod to the Famicom version of this thing. The rest are just licensed games I would want on this thing.

Man i watched arino play that dragon ball game and its so trash.
I mean a lot of famicom liscensed games aged poorly or are trash but thats beside the point.

Too many licenses to sort there. It also doesn't follow a theme unlike the JUMP Famicom.
If NOA/NOE did a similar NES Classic for the west it'd probably make the most sense to base it around one central property holder, and license different games from publishers based around that theme. A Disney NES Classic probably makes the most sense tbh and could also incorperate Lucas and Marvel licenses (and maybe soon Fox).
Fake news.
Turns out that while the QR code was no longer working, you can stil pre-order via the menu.
Got my pre-order in, now to wait!
You go to their website or the machine in the store and order it, then pick it up when delivered. Same as 7-11.
Ship... They went up for sale on toysrus (jp) this weekend and I missed out as I was out of town. -.-
There better be a few production runs of this damn thing.

Is it just me or is the colour of this Famicom Mini slightly different? It looks like they've given it the infamous yellow tint, whereas the original is more of a pure white colour.
I just went third-party on Amazon JP. Wasn't sure what else to do, and +$30 or so isn't bad for something that'll be a chore to get.
For sure. I did the same thing for the Bayonetta special edition months back.
Nice to see the bump, was just about to post it too.
Ordered one for myself. It's silly and gaudy but I want it, no clue how long it'll stay in stock or how rare this'll be.
I sure did. I wanna see what's going on with the custom game selection, in terms of the emulator and any different wrapper stuff. Plus, I never bit on the FaMini, so why not go gold?
Figures. Got ripped by a third-party seller and he/she marked it sent a week ago so I'm locked in. Even though the thing ain't even out yet.
After watching him play that awful included Dragon Ball game, I'm fully onboard with him doing the whole set.
and here ya go, with impressions and photos: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018...eirdest-and-maybe-rarest-classic-console-yet/
Yep, I totally missed that on the Fami Mini's FDS emulation, I'm still kicking myself over that error. I fixed the stuff you mentioned. Thanks for the nudge.
Mine came a couple of days ago. It'll never leave the plastic wrapping as shipped from Amazon Japan. I already have an NES and Famicom Mini, so I didn't really need this, I just wanted it for its rarity, and to remember Shonen Jump's 50th Anniversary.
It's cool seeing people with these. I hope there is a few more production runs so I have the chance to grab one for my set. I also wonder if we will see another one of these with a focus on sfc jump titles.
