The re-released 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.
The NES Classic Edition will be available in stores on November 11.
Nintendo of Canada communications manager Julie Gagnon revealed in an interview with a French language radio show that the gaming console will include different display modes such as a pixel flawless option that displays each pixel in games as a square. These features revolve around the display on which players can view their games, as well as save features that introduce a modern spin on the NES and its classic counterpart. Check outthe full list of the NES Classic Edition here. Not only will there be a pixel ideal option, which will display each pixel as a square, there will also be a mode that will simulate that retro CRT television look, as well as an option to display games in a 4:3 ratio.
Nintendo is making the effort to satisfy the graphics cries of fans, giving it appeal to those who may not have experienced the NES and to those who may have grown up on its retro status.
While having a number of display options is undoubtedly welcome, the more interesting feature the Gagnon revealed was that all 30 of the Mini NES’ games will feature permanent save points and “instant temporary saves”, both of which were not present in the original NES console.
