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.[3] The system outputs a high-definition video signal through HDMI, and uses a USB-based AC Adapter (note that an adapter does not come with the European version of the console[7]) that connects to the console through a micro USB port.[1]
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.[8]
Turning on the console, the player is taken to the main menu, where they are able to choose one of the thirty games to play out of a list. In addition to this, the player is also able to access suspend points by pressing down and the menu by pressing up. Among these features is game manuals, which, instead of displaying the manual on the television, instead displays a QR code, allowing the player to scan it and view the manual on a different device.[9] By pressing Select on the controller, the player is able to sort the games list.[10]
Each of the games has multiple suspend points, allowing the player to stop playing and resume from where they left off.[8] Pressing the Reset button on the console during play returns the player to the main menu, where they can chose from one of four slots to save their current suspend point to, and can be selected from to resume play from that point in the game.[10] Several display settings are also available, including a simulated CRT display mode, a normal 4:3 mode, and a "pixel perfect" setting.[11][12]
Games
The NES Classic Edition comes with 30 built-in titles:[3][5]
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.[13]
