The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition (released in Europe as Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System[3]) is a miniature recreation of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, to be released in November 2016.[3][5]
For Japan, Nintendo would later announce the Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer, a Family Computer equivalent to this iteration of the system.[6]
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. By pressing Select on the controller, the player is able to sort the games list in various orders[9], including alphabetically, in original release order, by publisher, by most recently played, the number of times played, and by 2-player games.[10] Finally, if the player remains idle for long enough, the system will enter into "Demo" mode, in which the player is given a tour of the 30 games on the system.[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 are able to save their current progress as a restore point and start a different game. Each title has four suspend points each.[9] Suspend points can also be "locked" by pressing down on the controller when hovering over one, preventing that restore point from being saved over.[10] The player is also able to choose from three different display settings: a simulated CRT display mode, the normal 4:3 mode, and a "pixel perfect" setting.[11][12]
In addition to this, the player is also able to access suspend points by pressing down and the menu on the top of the screen. Among these features is the ability to change display settings, a general "Settings" menu that allows the player to enable or disable demo mode, screen burn-in reduction, and auto-shutdown, the "Legal Notices" menu, and an option to change the system's language display. Also available is the manuals, which, instead of displaying the manual on the television, instead displays a QR code, allowing the player to scan it and view digital scans of the original game manuals on a different device.[13][10]
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.[14]
