Nintendo wants its fans to binge on nostalgia this holiday and reconnect with the orginal versions of the franchises they love.
The NES Classic Edition is a tiny version of the original, 30-year-old Nintendo console. It comes pre-loaded with 30 classic games that appeared on the original console (with no cartridges to blow into).
SEE ALSO:30 years ago, 'Mario' changed the game — for goodThe NES Classic Edition comes with an A/C adapter and HDMI cable, meaning it will work on pretty much any modern TV or monitor. It also comes with a new version of the classic square controller; you'll receive one packed in, and can purchase the other for $9.99.
The whole system is out Nov. 11 for $59.99. Here's the full list of games, which include titles from many other publishers like Bandai Namco, Capcom and Square Enix.
