The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition (released in Europe as Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System[2]) is a miniature recreation of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, to be released in November 2016.[2][4]

Features

The NES Classics Edition is a miniature Model No. NES-001 Nintendo Entertainment System which can play a set of built-in NES games. The system cannot play NES Game Paks, however, only the installed titles.[2] The system also outputs a high-definition video signal through HDMI, and requires a USB-based power adapter (note that an adapter does not come with the European version of the console[5]).

Like the original, the system features two controller ports, which are the same model as the Wii Remote's expansion port. The system comes with an NES Classic Controller, based on the original controller, but any other model of the Classic Controller can also be used.[6]

Each of the games has multiple suspend points, allowing the player to stop playing and resume from where they left off.[6] Several display settings are also available, including a simulated CRT display mode, a normal 4:3 mode, and a "pixel perfect" setting.[7]

Games

The NES Classic Edition comes with 30 built-in titles:[2][4]

As a standalone device, the NES Classic Edition can only play the included games. NES Game Paks are not supported, and additional games cannot be purchased or transferred onto the system.[8]
