Nintendo is re-launching the Nintendo Entertainment System! Well not quite. On November 11th 2016, retailers will be carrying a new version of the NES which will fit in the palm of your hand and comes preloaded with 30 of the best NES games of all time.
“We wanted to give fans of all ages the opportunity to revisit Nintendo’s original system and rediscover why they fell in love with Nintendo in the first place,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. “The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition is ideal for anyone who remembers playing the NES, or who wants to pass on those nostalgic memories to the next generation of gamers.”
The $59.99 package comes with one HDMI plug-in, an AC adapter and one NES Classic Controller (a second can be bought at $9.99). The NES Classic edition will work with the Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro, however when playing 2 Players, Nintendo did mentioned that one of the controllers needs to be the NES Classic variant.
