The NES is back! But this isn’t the same NES that you fondly remember. This new nostalgia-fueled system is a near-identical, mini replica of Nintendo’s original home console and plugs directly into your high-definition TV using an 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.

“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 system comes packaged with an HDMI cable, an AC adapter and one NES Classic Controller, which is patterned after the iconic design of the original NES controller. But you really just want to know the full list of 30 games, right? Feast your eyes on the fantastic collection of NES classics included with each and every system:

Balloon Fight™
BUBBLE BOBBLE
Castlevania™
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest™
Donkey Kong™
Donkey Kong Jr. ™
DOUBLE DRAGON II: THE REVENGE
Dr. Mario™
Excitebike™
FINAL FANTASY®
Galaga™
GHOSTS’N GOBLINS®
GRADIUS™
Ice Climber™
Kid Icarus™
Kirby’s Adventure™
Mario Bros. ™
MEGA MAN® 2
Metroid™
NINJA GAIDEN
PAC-MAN™
Punch-Out!! ™ Featuring Mr. Dream
StarTropics™
SUPER C™
Super Mario Bros.™
Super Mario Bros. ™ 2
Super Mario Bros. ™ 3
TECMO BOWL
The Legend of Zelda™
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link™

There’s a little something for everyone: a nice mix of timeless favorites, cult classics and maybe even some games that you never got around to playing. Each is sure to bring back memories and produce plenty of new ones. You can even enjoy playing several of these games with two players by attaching a second NES Classic Controller, which will be sold separately at a suggested retail price of $9.99. A Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro can also be used (each sold separately).

When connected to a Wii Remote controller, the NES Classic Controller can also be used to play Virtual Console NES games on a Wii U or Wii system. Playing these retro games using a retro controller makes the experience that much more authentic. And if you ever need to step away from the NES Classic Edition in the middle of a tough level (or take a break to call one of Nintendo’s helpful Game Counselors*), don’t worry about losing any hard-earned progress. Each game has multiple suspend points, so you can start where you left off at a later time, no passwords needed.

Merged the two threads on this. Beat you by 5 minutes, Karg. :P

Probably like the only plug-and-play that's ever worth buying in the history of everything.

#9

^ heh.

Nice variety here. Hope it does well.

Thanous · #10

Hype ahh hope you can like purchase more games or use actual cartridges that'd be amazing

#11

Man. I'll not lie, that looks pretty rad.

I would like nothing better than for Ninty to toss off a real, foolproof NES clone that is designed to play carts perfectly 100% of the time. That may just be my own pie in the sky by and by, but this looks like a step in the right direction, man.

Is it HD-only? I don't got an HDTV. One assumes it'd share inputs across Wii and Wii U and thus be SD-friendly.

#12

Not sure if this is better than Rare Replay, but it's probably the best Nintendo system since the 90s. Would like some cart functionality, and I have most of the better games in a closet somewhere next to a system that I haven't plugged in for over two decades. Still, a pretty nice deal.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · #13

No Earthbound Beginnings?

Anyway, it is a neat collector's item. Doing SNES and N64 versions would be cool. Also a handheld line.

I wonder if the NES Wii controller can be used to play Mega Man 9 & 10

I don't see why not.

#16

Wii U maybe. Wii probably not.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · #17

I think I read it works with Wii as well.

#18

When connected to a Wii Remote controller, the NES Classic Controller can also be used to play Virtual Console NES games on a Wii U or Wii system.

Never mind what I said, it'll probably work with Wii Ware games.

#19

Funny enough, I actually have all of those games (except the meh ones like Balloon Fight) but you know, I want this thing just because I'll be able to travel with it easily. Stuff I really want for it, though: Adaptor to play real NES carts, Cart loader to flash with real NES carts, NEW NES GAMES BY NINTENDO, screen mirroring.
