Nintendo embraces retro gaming with a pint-sized NES

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).

The 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.
  • 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 GOBLINS®
  • GRADIUS
  • Ice Climber
  • Kid Icarus
  • Kirby’s Adventure
  • Mario Bros. ™
  • MEGA MAN® 2
  • Metroid
  • NINJA GAIDEN
  • PAC-MAN
  • Punch-Out!! ™ Featuring Mr. Dream
  • StarTropics
  • SUPER C
  • Super Mario Bros.
  • Super Mario Bros. ™ 2
  • Super Mario Bros. ™ 3
  • TECMO BOWL
  • The Legend of Zelda
  • Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Nintendo also said the NES Classic Controller can be hooked up to a Wii Remote to play Virtual Console titles on the Wii and Wii U, for those who miss the feel and precision of that mini, square controller.
Probably also included: the amount of time you'll lose trying to beat every game.
