Support Team" have formed Work3 Studios and are creating a new game "Banana Bash!" for Nintendo Red and White Machines (NES).Although Switch has provided players with the opportunity to play NES classic games through Nintendo Switch Online, this new exclusive work will bring a purer emotional experience.

This new work will be comparable to the classic NES puzzle games "The Key of Solomon", "The Adventure of Rolls" and "Tetris".Developers hope to create high-quality cassettes, packaging boxes and instructions through crowdfunding.Although some people complained that "who still has red and white machines now", the game has gained a group of loyal fans on social media.
NES's 8-bit console was launched in Japan in 1983 under the name of "Family Computer" and entered the Western market in the late 1980s.The platform has bred classic series such as Metroid, Mega Man, and Super Mario Bros., which are still talked about by players today, and some even relish the classics running NES games on Steam Deck.
