Nintendo Music Adds 25 Famicom and NES Games with a Tire Fire Update – News

Alright, let’s see… so, we haven’t had something like this in forever, and I’m scratching my head why. Anyway, the Famicom turned 42 today—wild, right? And to celebrate, they just dumped a bunch of its game soundtracks on the Nintendo Music service. I mean, it feels nostalgic and a bit random all at once.

So, they added 26 games, and that’s a lot. Like, seriously, why stop at 26? But, four of those are imports for us North American folks. You remember the “black box” NES games? Yeah, those have got some weird charm. Here’s what made the cut:

For Famicom:
– Devil World (sounds ominous, doesn’t it?)
– F-1 Race (vroom vroom… I guess)
– Gomoku Narabe Renju (say that five times fast!)
– Mah-Jong (because why not?)

For NES—brace yourself:
– Balloon Fight (I almost forgot about this one)
– Baseball (yep, just plain ol’ Baseball)
– Clu Clu Land (any idea what a Clu is? Me neither)
– Donkey Kong (the big guy himself)
– Donkey Kong Jr. (let’s not forget the kiddo)
– Donkey Kong Jr. Math (because math is… fun?)
– Donkey Kong 3 (I mean, was there a 2?)
– Duck Hunt (quack!)
– Excitebike (now that was a ride)
– Golf (snooze fest, or maybe not?)
– Gyromite (still trying to remember this)
– Hogan’s Alley (can’t help but picture a western)
– Ice Climber (brrr…)
– Mach Rider (whatever that means, sounds fast?)
– Mario Bros. (the OGs)
– Pinball (simple pleasures)
– Soccer (’cause why not have a sports day?)
– Stack-Up (don’t remember a thing, honestly)
– Tennis (more sports, yay!)
– Wild Gunman (feels like a fever dream)
– Wrecking Crew (I think destruction is implied)
– And Urban Champion… which, let’s face it, was kind of a trainwreck, but hey, to each their own, right?

So yeah, it’s like a big music party and you’re all invited, if this kind of retro vibe is your jam. Happy birthday, Famicom! 🎉
