Hi, Childhood? It's nostalgia calling.

Nintendo Classic Mini, the cutest console yet, arrives in stores November 11th 2016
|

Readers please hold my bag, my beer, my feelings, whatever I'm about to drop after hearing the news that Nintendo is bringing the Nintendo Classic Mini into our lives on November 11th this year.

The younger generations might not get it but the 80s was an incredible time for gaming as it birthed such legends as Mega Man, Super Mario Bros, and The Legend of Zelda. Now, with 30 classic games built right into the hardware, we can re-live the nostalgia of the Nintendo Entertainment System through the ease of simply plugging it into your TV via HDMI and off you go.

As if that wasn't cool enough Nintendo has also given us the option to play with friends (by attaching two Nintendo Classic Minis together), and to use the rather smart-looking Nintendo Classic Mini: NES controllers for that authentic feel. The NES Classic Controller can also be used to play NES Virtual Console games on your Wii or Wii U consoles by connecting it to a Wii remote controller.

The only thing is that an AC adaptor for the USB cable doesn't come included and will have to be bought separately, but that's fairly typical.

Check out Nintendo's website if you'd like to learn more.
