For anyone who thinks the game has changed, Nintendo is here to prove you wrong.
Well, they’re at least here to take you back to the future.
At a time when Pokemon Go is making roughly 70 trillion dollars a day introducing the world to the future of augmented reality, the legendary game maker has also decided to harken back to a simpler time. A time when controllers were plugged in, two buttons was more than enough choice, and Super Mario was still cool.
Which is to say, if you’ve always been a little more PAC-MAN than Pokemon, you’re going to be very excited.

On November 11, 2016, Nintendo will release the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition, a mini version of its classic ’80s console preloaded with 30 games. You’ll also get a classic square controller with cross directional pad and the A and B buttons. It’s going to be heaven.
The new Classic Edition will attach to your HD TV via HDMI – so no need to grab an 80s to play Punch-Out!!
The entire package – NES Classic Edition, 30 games, one controller – will run for $59.99 (USD) with extra classic controllers costing another $9.99 (USD) each.
