You better be happy with the initial selection, because you won’t be getting any more. Packed with 30 built-in retro games, the upcoming console does seem to be a promising one for the Kyoto-based company.

But this could always be the start of greater things.
Nintendo has announced they are re-launching this gaming system, albeit in a far cuter palm-sized version, and for just $60 (approximately Rs 4,000.) It’s called the Nintendo Classic Mini and It’s nearly too good to be true. I wouldn’t be surprised is other companies followed suit as well.
Pricing for the Nintendo Classis Mini NES has been set at $59.99, additional controllers are $9.99. I’m a huge retro gaming fan, and my Wii U/3DS is now filled with classic titles so I can play them over and over again.
Gamers will receive a HDMI cable, a USB cable for powering the system, and one Nintendo Classic Mini: NES Controller when buying the newly launched console.
“We wanted to give fans of all ages the opportunity to revisit Nintendo’s original system and rediscover why they fell in love with Nintendo in the first place”, Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime said in a statement.

If the idea has got you excited then it is time to take a deep breath and calm down just a little, as it isn’t yet available.
The old-school gaming console is said to be identical to the original United States version released in 1985 but much smaller in size. The release date is going to be the 11 of November with the USA price being reported as $60. Each is sure to bring back memories and produce plenty of new ones.
The console comes with a NES-style controller which can also be used when playing Virtual Console games with a Wii or Wii U. According to Nintendo, the NES has sold over 60 million consoles and 500 million games worldwide. Games can be resumed from multiple suspend points.
