Tre Mac Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/14/12187296/nintendo-nes-classic-edition-announced-price-games Nintendo is bringing back the NES — only a little smaller. Today the company announced what it's calling the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition. It looks just like a NES, only a lot tinier, and it comes with 30 games built in. You can connect it to your TV via a HDMI cable, and it also includes a controller designed to work just like the iconic rectangular NES gamepad. (The new controller will also connect to a Wii Remote, so that you can use it to play Virtual Console games on a Wii or Wii U.) In addition to HDMI support and a lack of cartridges, the new mini-console also features one useful modern convenience: multiple suspend points, so that you won't have to fumble around with passwords when you start playing a game again. The NES Classic Edition will be available on November 11th for $59.99. Here's the complete list of games: 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Sorry I don't start many threads but what do you fellow old school gamers think? Really wish River City Ransom was included because I would most definitely get this. And if anyone brings up Pokémon in this thread I will hunt you down.

Jam126 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Why isn't Duck Hunt on the list? One of my favourite games. I guess they don't want to remake the Zapper. That's OK, it's not my ideal price, 20$ lower and I would buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Weasel Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 pretty sick. I barely ever played an NES. I started at SNES. I played duck hunt once at my friends. This is going to sell a lot. can we add games to it? There has to be an snes release in the making, right? I don't mind emulators, but I wouldn't mind buying this.

TimberWolf Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Love to have an SNES version. My SNES doesn't work on my tv either way I try to hook it up (RCA or RF) and emulators just are not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'll buy it for sure. Hope they create add-ons with more games. Really wish they'd have some Paper Boy on there. Dr Mario alone makes it worth it for me. EDIT: nvm, definitely no add-ons, no expansions, and no internet. that's a bit of a drag for me. Why not make a mini system they can add-on to? I'd pay a premium for a mini console like that with internet capability/modding, etc. I'll still buy it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 works on plasma TV's and that is awesome as long as they don't want over 40 bucks for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 There has been knock-off versions of the NES, SNES, and Genesis. Saw one advertised at Target. However, the quality was reportedly hit-and-miss. If the quality of this one is there, I'd buy it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakanucks Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I started on the SNES as well. But I might buy this myself.....games nowadays just doesn't attract me. I've only played dr. Mario on Gameboy console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of mine had a hand held nintendo knock-off that didn't last long either. Wouldn't ever put my money in those things again, even if it was just bad luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Castlevania II: Simon's Quest was one of my favorite NES games ever. Awesome music, creepy, and a sidescroller RPG! What a Horrible Night to have a Curse....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'll get it just for Zelda and Mario. that was my childhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'm really surprised that Contra wasn't a first release I'm probably going to get this. Is there any info on how they plan to release future games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g_bassi13 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 It's pretty cool. But having an actual NES makes the thing a bit redundant. Still an awesome thing to exist. Like Glassjaw stated about it his post, it would be cool if was more than just a basic plug in and play system. It's already too bad that it can't accept real NES cartridges, so if it being unable to expand in any other way is lame. It's missing more than a few of my favourite games as is. Does it calibrate for the lag that comes with flat panel HD TV's? Things like that are important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I paid for most of the games (that I wanted) here on my original wii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The SNES was my first console, handed down from my mom. I spent so many hours on that. Street fighter II, Mickey's magical adventure, a star wars game, a racing game. Nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I already have 3 MAME cabinets to play anything I want with just about any arcade and previous generation console game ever created. I'll pass but I hope it works out well for Nintendo. If it does other systems will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
