100 Japanese Households Are Getting Super Famicoms So Their Kids Will Stay Home

Since a state of emergency has been declared in Japan over the pandemic, kids are out of school. Yet, when I look out my window here in Osaka, I see gobs of them milling about in the street and the parks, playing with each other. I think they should stay home! So does the Japan Retro Game Association.

In order to encourage children in Japan to stay home, the group is giving away one hundred Super Famicoms. To apply, you just need to live in a household with a child under sixteen years old and be able to cover the postage fees. For more, check the organization’s official site

The group will even include classic games that should help keep youngsters indoors.

The association points out that the consoles might be aged with sunspots, but the machines work and have been cleaned.
