Joystiq has your stash of criminally complete GTA IV news!

Own the first Miyamoto-designed console



Looking to complete your Shigeru Miyamoto collection/shrine? Don't forget to pick up Block Kuzushi, the first system to have benefitted from his caring touch.

Supposedly, a young Miyamoto put his industrial design degree to good use and devised the Color TV Game console's external design. Essentially a Breakout clone, the system uses a dial to control its in-game paddle.

Eric from Japan Games, the same shop that introduced us to the Lasabirdie, is selling a complete Block Kuzushi on eBay, new and never used. That mint condition is almost unheard of for this 1979 console! Bidding ends in six days, so expect the price on this auction to shoot up to preposterous heights.
