Nintendo has unveiled a new console, but it isn’t the NX. Instead, the Japanese company has revealed a redux of the hardware that launched its entry into home gaming. Behold, the Mini NES!
The Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System is a tiny USB-powered version of the original 1980s console – petite enough to fit in the palm of your hand – which comes with thirty inbuilt classic games and one replica NES controller, which is also compatible with the Wii and Wii U to play applicable Virtual Console games. Wii U Classic Controller or Wii Classic Controller Pro are reverse-compatible with the Mini NES, while the NES Classic Controller will go on sale separately.
The thirty free games included are:
- Balloon Fight
- Bubble Bobble
- Castlevania
- Castlevania 2: Simon’s Quest
- Donkey Kong
- Donkey Kong Jr.
- Double Dragon 2: The Revenge
- 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 2: The Adventure of Link
The Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System is set for release on 11th November, priced $59.99 (UK price is yet to be announced). Fingers crossed that a Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System follows soon.
