Relive the magic of the late 80's/early 90's with the Japanese Family Computer Classic Mini and the English NES Classic Edition Mini consoles! This is not exactly a 3DS-related news but most of us started our fascination with Nintendo games from the 8-bit era. No blowing required!
You can currently buy them from DataBlitz.
UPDATE: You can now purchase the NES Classic Mini from Game One PH / i.TECH - Philippines. They are selling the NES Classic Edition bundled with an extra NES Classic controller for P4,590.

Both consoles are standalone devices, so you will not be able to use your physical FamiCom or NES cartridges. They cannot connect to the internet or any external storage devices for expanded memory. The 30 games included were chosen to provide a wide variety of top-quality, long-lasting game-play experiences. Each game has multiple suspend points, so you can start where you left off at a later time. They output video only via HDMI (HDMI cable included).
*In addition to the NES Classic Controller, the Wii Classic Controller and the Wii Classic Controller Pro are also compatible with the NES Classic Edition. Both can be plugged directly into the console; however, when using two controllers, one of them must be the NES Classic Controller. The new NES Classic Controller has a different connector than the original NES controllers and accessories, so they are not interchangeable. In addition, the NES Classic Controller can also be used to play Virtual Console NES games on a Wii U or Wii system when connected to a Wii Remote controller. As stated above, the FamiCom Classic Mini does not support these controllers.
