Bring back memories and make brand new ones with Nintendo's ultimate retro gaming experience, launching 11th November!

Relive the 80s when the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System launches in stores on 11th November. The classic NES is back in a familiar-yet-new form as a mini replica of Nintendo’s original home console. Plugging directly into a high-definition TV using the included HDMI cable, the console comes complete with 30 NES games built-in, including beloved classics like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, PAC-MAN and Kirby’s Adventure.

The Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System comes packaged with an HDMI cable, a USB cable for powering the system*, 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.

US Price has been revealed at $59.99 USD, + $10 for a second controller.

I kinda wish Nintendo would do that 30 cent NES game promotion again. I owned a Wii U since launch but at the time I wasn't fully aware how the promo worked and I thought you paid 30 cents and only kept the game for 30 days.

Weird they would celebrate the Famicom and not the NES.

reminds me of this i was looking at a while back

I hope they are cheap because I want to keep one as is, keep a few back for collectables, and gut a ton of them and put Raspberry Pi's inside. At least with the Pi you can play the corrected versions of roms such as Castlevania II, Faxanadu, and the like, where bugs or mistranslations held them back from their full glory.


Edit: They will be $60

If its more then a everdrive N8, count me out.

Even hardmodding 3ds for hdmi output isnt pricy afaik...
if som1 wants nostalgic momnts of gaming he'll sure would want a cart-based console where u phisically do shit and not just click-and-download digital market...

The more I look at the list, the more I'm impressed that they got Capcom and Konami on board with this. Heck, even Final Fantasy is there. This really looks like something that Nintendo wants to sell as a one off instead of having a meh list of games and then releasing a second version with more games.

I think there will be an option of buying more games, or else that won't sell well.
and btw capcom and konami are in bad shape afaik

It's the only way to get an official NES controller for the Wii. Just use the system for a Pi case.

 

[shardie888]

I need one

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

Very cool, but why would i want to enjoy 8bit Pixel graphics in HD...xD

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

I'm very excited for the Mini NES and will definitely buy it! I just hope that it has the ability to savestates.

It's the only way to get a new NES that doesn't cost a fortune.

Good thing they're including a controller (would be a no-brainer!) because I don't have a CCP Wii controller.

 

[TotalInsanity4]

Are these officially licensed?

 

[The Real Jdbye]

This looks pretty cool, as long as it isn't emulation, the Wii, Wii U and 3DS already do that very well with VC and Wiis are dirt cheap so there would be no point. As others have also mentioned I'm hoping for a SNES version.

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest just why does have that one why not the third game.

They want you to suffer

 

[Sliter]

hmm well nice that the controller can be used as classic on the wii... if ther come an famicon version, TAKE MY MONEY xD
about the console itself... well not sure what to say... very limited... if we can't use carts, have an sd slot to play rons (like porable MD? ) or hack it....the only pro it have from a polystation is being oficial ? XD
But yeah I ment for translations and rom hacks too because WHY NOT HAVE MOTHER/FE 1 THERE, NINTENDO?? they have plenty oportunity to earn with unlaunched games that they could launch today on stuff like this or VC, but why not??? argh

Wait, this may seem far off; but what about a Mini N64, with HD Graphics! Now that's a console!

Nintendo posted it on their official Twitter accounts so yes.

 

[yuyuyup]

This is embarrassing to see from Nintendo, those things are so hood, I want to sell them on a street corner

 

[gamecaptor]

huh, interesting. Odd, but interesting.

So who wants to bet there is a Raspberry Pi under the hood!

Embarrassing was the Virtual Boy and Wii U.

So... no cartridge compatibility, proprietary controllers (and you have to pay extra if you want multiplayer), and HDMI-only? Clone consoles have been around for years; you'd think if Nintendo was going to jump into the game they'd have had plenty of time to figure out how to do it right. Genesis, Atari, and Colecovision clones have twice as many games or more, include two controllers, can use original carts and controllers, and all for as little as half the price.

EDIT: actually, I'm not finding the Atari/Colecovision clones that had both the built-in games and cart support right at the moment; just one or the other. The point stands, though.
