Relive Past Glories with Nintendo’s Ultimate Retro Gaming Experience | Business Wire
From the Link:
If you see a Nintendo Entertainment System on store shelves this holiday shopping season, you haven’t entered a time machine. (Unless everyone around you is wearing acid-washed jeans and neon leg warmers. If that’s the case, you may have unknowingly walked through a rift in the space-time continuum.) The most likely scenario is you are setting eyes on the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition, launching in stores on Nov. 11 at a suggested retail price of $59.99. That’s right: 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.
Looks like Nintendo is making dreams come true with an officially supported way to run the Classics on our glorious HDTV's with minimal fuzz, for a great price of ~$60USD
.... I know there's several Rpi emulators out there but i think this takes the cake, but time will tell as its not due out till later in the year (Novemberish). Only downside is there's no mention of being able to add additional games as or if they become available.
I for one am looking forward to getting my grubby little mitts on it and reliving some of my oldest Gaming memories from back in the day. I also hope that they follow this up with a SNES version at a later date as I have far more memories of (rainy) days spent playing Super Mario, and the game where you flew an airplane and had to go through various obstacles.
