There’s a New NES Game, and It Celebrates Finland’s 100th Birthday

It might be time to go dig that old Nintendo Entertainment System out of your parents’ attic, assuming you didn’t sell it in 1991 to buy a TurboGrafx-16. As first noted by GoNintendo.com, and signal boosted by Kotaku, Finnish company Aasi Pelit (translation: Donkey Games) has released an actual physical game for the 1980s NES that commemorates the centennial of Finland’s independence from Russia. Perkele!: Suomi 100 Vuotta is made up of three minigames: a brawler that looks like a single-screen version of River City Ransom, a shoot-’em-up starring a superpowered Saimaa ringed seal (an incredibly endangered animal only found in one specific lake in Finland), and a first-person light zapper game based on the Winter War with Russia in the early days of World War II. Here’s a look at all three modes.

Copies went on sale today at Aasi Pelit’s website for €65, but it looks like they’ve sold out. According to Google Translate, they’ll have more games available “in October-November.”
