Aware that the NES Classic Edition is really scratching gamers' nostalgia itch, Nintendo has release a new retro trailer that brings back a classic slogan. Check it out below:

Original Story - 07.14.16:

Following E3, we assumed that the next time Nintendo announced the release of a new console that they would be talking about the NX. What we got instead is...well, it's actually pretty awesome. 

Today, Nintendo revealed that they will be launching a miniature version of the original NES console (known as the NES Classic Edition) that is capable of being played on a modern television via an HDMI cable. Though not a fully-functional NES recreation capable of playing original cartridges, this mini-NES comes equipped with 30 classic NES titles, as well as a single controller, and is set to retail for $60 (an additional controller will cost $9.99). 

Here's the full list of games that come pre-installed on the miniature NES:

• 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 Climber
• Kid Icarus
• Kirby's Adventure
• Mario Bros.
• Mega Man 2
• Metroid
• Ninja Gaiden
• Pac-Man
• Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
• StarTropics
• 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

This device is certainly an appealing proposition for those who do not own a recent Nintendo console and are unable to take advantage of the sizable back catalog available on Nintendo's eShop and for Nintendo diehards looking to add a neat little piece of nostalgia to their entertainment center. That being said, it would be nice if the device allowed you to download additional NES games through a built-in online store. 

The NES Classic Edition will be available to purchase starting on November 11th.
