Nintendo Entertainment System: Classic Edition Trailer Released

Nintendo has released a trailer for their upcoming mini console, NES Classic Edition, complete with an entire retro look and a preview featuring a few of the games that come with it.

Being one of the most unexpected, yet simultaneously awesome announcements from Nintendo in recent years, the company has announced plans to resurrect their iconic NES console. Even though it's not a true re release of the original hardware, the NES Classic Edition has taken on a miniature form of the original console, it utilizes an HDMI cable to connect to modern TVs and it also comes with 30 games preinstalled on it. This has become a highly sought after item for fans that have been loyal to the company since its beginning, and now consumers can finally see the system outside of a few previously released pictures.

Nintendo released the first trailer to the upcoming NES Classic Edition and it is a chock full of classic 80s vibe. The footage does a pretty good job at introducing the system in a way that will sure appeal to longtime fans to the console and newcomers as well. It's a nostalgic look at what could be one of the purest nods to the company's past, which is something that shouldn't be missed by anyone who has fond memories of the original Nintendo Entertainment System.

Nintendo previously confirmed that their revamped NES will cost a 'modest' $59.99 USD or $79.99 CAD this November 11, with controllers available at $9.99 USD or $12.99 CAD. If we take the price into consideration, this system truly looks like a no brainer for nostalgia junkies and followers of the NES, and there is no question it will become popular this Holiday season.

It is a bit disheartening to learn that Nintendo won't add any more games to the NES Classic Edition and its 30 games library. Classic titles like Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda are available, but the lack of an option to purchase long time favorites like Duck Hunt seems like a missed opportunity. That being said, Nintendo's value has passed Sony's in the wake of Pokemon GO's success, and selling the platform as a one of a kind makes most sense if they plan on pushing their brand new NX console in the future.
