There’s still a good seven months of waiting to go until we’re finally graced with the arrival of the Nintendo NX, but the Big N is releasing some other hardware this holiday season to help fill the void. The Nintendo Classic Mini: NES will hit stores across the world on November 11, and is a replica of the original console released in 1983. This iteration of the classic bit of kit is markedly smaller however; it can comfortably fit in the palm of your hand.
Due to the various technological advancements we’ve enjoyed over the last few decades, Nintendo has made a few improvements to bring this mini version in line with modern tastes. An HDMI port is now present, along with a USB cable to power the system. You will however, need your own AC Adapter to pair with the USB cord.
So you’re probably wondering about the games, right? Don’t worry, you won’t have to drop a pile of cash on buying cartridges separately – the device comes pre-loaded with 30 titles.
