In addition to the formal release date of the Nintendo NX, what is also confirmed is the flagship title of the gaming platform known as “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”.

Indeed, we do know that for now, Nintendo are committed to the NX, their enigmatic new console that is due out in march 2017 worldwide- the question, then, becomes, what could Nintendo learn from the success of Pokemon GO, and apply to the NX? But only experimenting while being oblivious to what fans really want is a road to disaster- and one that Nintendo would be wise to ignore with the NX and its games, going forward. It can also be connected with Wii and Wii U so the games included could be played with those consoles.

Another major feature skip is the ability to save game progress.

“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”, said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America president and chief operating officer, in a statement.

The following games have been installed: includes Balloon Fight, Bubble Bobble, Castlevania, Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Double Dragon II: The Revenge, Dr. Mario, Excitebike, Final Fantasy, Galaga, Ghosts’ N Ghoblins, Gradius, Ice Climber, Kid Icarus, Kirby’s Adventure, Mario Bros., Mega Man 2, Metroid, Ninja Gaiden, Pac-Man, Punch-Out!!

It could be a throwback strategy of the Japanese gaming company but Nintendo is reportedly planning to bring back its Nintendo Entertainment System or NES. There are 30 built-in games in the console that players can readily play. And a classic NES controller as well. The 30 games listed on the device are the only games that will work for it. A second controller is optional for purchase.

The NES Mini controller can also be used to play Virtual Console NES games with the Wii or the Wii U by connecting it to the Wii Remote. The device will be introduced in stores November 11 at a suggested retail price of $59.99, according to Nintendo.
