'NES Classic Edition' Game News: Nostalgia Is Priced At $60 With HDMI Cable
The announcement of the NES Classic Edition evoked a lot of nostalgia for fans of the Nintendo console. But while the device certainly looks familiar, there are some modifications that might either be received as good or bad news by fans.
According to Kotaku, fans won't get to play more games other than the 30 titles announced by Nintendo. Apparently, these were carefully chosen for their diversity and gameplay to make sure the players won't get bored.
Another news about the NES Classic Edition that might not be received as well by fans is the fact that it doesn't have a cartridge.
"The console does not use physical media and therefore the Chamber Lid does not open," the spokesperson told Kotaku.
It also doesn't connect to the Internet, which means that fans may not be able to download games from their favorite websites to add to their collection. The NES Classic Edition also doesn't support external storage devices. Again, that's bad news for fans.
The games that will come with the NES Classic Edition are as follows:
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 Climbers
Kid Icarus
Kirby's Adventure
Mega Man 2
Metroid
Mario Bros.
Ninja Gaiden
Pac-Man
Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
Star Tropics
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
However, the $60 price point is quite cheap for the thrill that nostalgic fans can get from the NES Classic Edition. Also, the report about the HDMI cable is also welcome news considering the standard TVs of today.
