Nintendo announces small console with NES design

Nintendo has announced a small console with the design of the NES. The small console, which will be released in November, will have a controller similar to that of the 1980s console. Thirty games are pre-installed on the box.

Nintendo gives few details about the Classic Mini, as the console is called. It is clear that he has been given an HDMI connection to connect it to modern TVs. In design, it is a smaller version of the NES, which came on the market more than thirty years ago.

The unspecified storage memory contains thirty NES games, including the Mario Bros series, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong Jr and Pac-Man. One difference from the past is that games contain different save points so that players can pick up where they left off without having to enter any codes. The Classic controller can also be connected to a Wii-mote for use with Virtual Console on the Wii and Wii U.

Nintendo will release the Classic Mini on November 11. The Japanese manufacturer has not mentioned a price in euros, but the American price is 60 dollars for the console and ten dollars per controller. A real new product from the Japanese company will follow next year, which should come on the market as the NX.
