    Miyamoto Signed Super Famicom on eBay

    posted by Chris on March 19, 2008 9:06 AM in Games

    motocool.JPGCheck out this awesome eBay auction, the exact ingredients for a perfect childhood. One Japanese SNES signed by visionary genius Shigeru Miyamoto, and a load of classic games to play: Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country (called Super Donkey Kong in Japan. I didn't know that!), Super Game Boy, Super Mario All Stars, Mario and Wario and what looks to be Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse (surprisingly a FABULOUS Capcom SNES platformer).

    This is sure to fetch a hefty price, but perhaps you are in the market for a dose of nostalgia? You could even recreate your childhood in a sort of parallel universe way, pretending to be a Japanese child. This would be a reasonable adult thing to do.

    Actually, that's a different Mickey Mouse game that wasn't released in the states, I believe. It's called Mickey Mouse's Tokyo Disneyland Adventure, so that would make some sense that they didn't bring it here.
