Nintendo Classic Mini

pasta-solo

Here's a thing! Nintendo are re-releasing the NES with 30 built in games! Hope it's better than some of those awful Megadrive re-releases!

It looks amazing!! Game list is strong, HDMI out, and the controller is also compatible with Wii and Wii U!

There is a suitable meme featuring Fry from Futurama I believe

I like the cross-compatible controllers, that is clever.

Ha, that's what I was thinking.

Any idea if price?

Edit: Sorry, see the price in the article

Varik

Really wish it had some storage and access to the store ( & maybe adding those games to your account)

Price is great, especially for the controller but really low. Only reason I'd hold off is the chance they'd release a better alternative later.

$59.99 for the system, $9.99 for controller.

Yeah a closed system with a fixed games list is very limiting. It mentions you can use the Wii Classic or Classic Pro controllers with it if you have them so might save someone a few quid.

It's cool that SquareEnix, Konami, Bandai Namco, Capcom etc were up for this.

That would have been really class, but I imagine would have pushed the price way up.

To be honest the quality of the games list makes up a bit for the lack of storage in my opinion. A lesser lineup would but it really is a top class list. StarTropics....who would have thought?

I've probably 99% of those games in a box I my parents house . Just to trump them I also have duck hunt with the original gun.

They should add California games. That was one of my favourites

If they go & make this 50Hz, I may go full nerdrage

Already popped up on TheGamecollection:

I'm personally going to wait to see if GameStop stock it and for how much but I'm definetly going to buy one of these, hopefully this is the first in the line and we'll see the likes of a SNES/N64 later on

Sweet baby jebus no....

Pac1Man

Is this the NX? :eek:

CiDeRmAn

Perhaps there'll be a Famicom Mini... I'll wait for that...

That said, this one may well be a good one, if it can be hacked, maybe an internal storage medium that can be replaced with a micro SD card.
Every NES clone is a compromise, if this things runs perfectly happy days.
But too many people are wary after tosh like the NeoGeo X, wait and see I suppose.

Nintendo Classic Mini: SNES.


Tis cool and all but not for me. I can't play NES games anymore. Loved it back in the day but the majority of games are just too fugly. And I already own nearly all of the ones I like on the list.

If/when they do release Nintendo Classic Mini: SNES, I'll likely be first in line. That I would love.

Great to see a Nintendo console with great third party support again.

I really want a SNES (especially as I don't have a New 3DS) but I don't know where to start so something like that would be great. I hope they'd add in an online component to add to the game library.

NES Classic Edition doesn’t include AC adapter in the UK

The newly-announced Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition has an AC adapter for the USB cable which is required to play. Unfortunately, it’s not included in the box if you’re in the UK. It’s also worth mentioning that the device is called “Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System” in Europe.

I almost started crying at the mere mention of California Games. Sweet lord the memories.

Its probably Nintendo's Christmas effort. Unless they spring some surprise for Wii U.

Haven't heard that game mentioned in years. Probably at least a decade. A real blast from the past. I don't remember much about it but I know I liked it. Off to Youtube for some nostalgia overload.
