The game of your youth is making a comeback. You no longer need to troll the Craigslists of the world trying to find a classic Nintendo system. The company has decided to bring back an updated version of the iconic NES gaming system.
Today the company made an official announcement of the launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition. The new gaming system looks just like the classic NES, only a lot smaller. Moreover, it comes with 30 games already built in. You simply connect it to your TV via a HDMI cable, and it also includes a controller designed to work just like the iconic rectangular NES gamepad.
