Here’s some information, courtesy of Jonnyram, it includes how from 1st April next year, selling second-hand Famicom, Super Famicom, Nintendo 64s and so on will no longer be permitted in stores due to an extension of the second-hand electric products law . Clearly Nintendo will be happy about such a verdict, meaning more will turn to there famous Virtual Console service for retro needs. Also, the Tokyo Games Show 2008 will run from 9th-12th October, which is a couple of weeks later than it’s norm.
