Although I never considered myself a huge gamer, the Famicon certainly occupied a large presence in my childhood memories from growing up in Japan. Even the frustrating blows of air into the cassettes to get them to work properly, and that annoying double-pronged wire that hooked up behind the television, are now fond memories. So I was pretty excited when I saw that stationary company San-Ei was releasing a line of items inspired by the 1980s video game console.

The stationery goes on sale December 23, 2016, just in time for Christmas. For the full lineup of Famicon-inspired items, including pencils and pens, clear folders and memo pads, head over to Spoon & Tamago below.
