Nintendo Returns To The Past With The Nintendo Classic Mini: NES Edition

As seems to be the way, Nintendo right out of left field, heck not even in the same ballpark, dropped the announcement that on November 10th, the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System will be released and comes packed with 30 titles.

The Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System comes packaged with an HDMI cable, a USB cable for powering the system - though the powerpoint adapter is not inclueded, and one Nintendo Classic Mini: NES Controller. And whether it’s rediscovering an old favourite or experiencing the joy of NES for the first time, the fantastic collection of NES classics included with each and every system should have something for all players.

You will get to enjoy everything that comes with the box for the price of $99.95, but should you want to play two players, then you will need to purchase a second controller and they will cost you $19.95, however A Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro for the Wii console can also be used.

This is the list of games that you can look forward to playing:

Balloon Fight
BUBBLE BOBBLE
Castlevania™
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest™
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
DOUBLE DRAGON II: THE REVENGE
Dr. Mario
Excitebike

Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
StarTropics
SUPER C™

Super Mario Bros. 3
Tecmo Bowl™
The Legend of Zelda
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

It has also been noted that this machine does not have any additional ports for any form of external hard drives, sd cards or classic NES game carts, nor does it have the option to connect to the internet and download more games. What you get in the box is all you will get.

When you look at the picture above, it is hard to imagine a NES that small, from Nintendo that is, but that is what we have. So be sure to get your order in, as I expect that they will be a hot christmas item for all the Nintendo and nostalgia fans.
