A new product was recently launched on the market in Japan: it’s a business card holder that’s shaped like Nintendo’s legendary Famicom game console.
Business card holder that looks like a real Famicom console
Many Japanese adults grew up with the Famicom videogame console. This machine, made by Nintendo, was a true social phenomenon and gave birth to games such as "Super Mario Brothers" and "Dragon Quest". When I was a young girl, Famicon was all the kids in school ever talked about. The boys would brag endlessly about what level they’d reached. The console was discontinued in 2003, but lately they’ve been launching Famicom gadgets to apease nostalgic adults.
One of these is the business card holder that’s shaped like a game console. The product was originally launched in 2004, but it was just a gift you could win as a prize in those machines that you try to fish plush toys out of. It was a legendary object among kids who were videogame fans. Now they’ve revamped the model and have launched it on the international market.
Every detail of this business card holder replicates the original model: the body’s color and shine, the texture and feel of the buttons... It’ll go on sale in Japan at the end of October.
