“We wanted to give fans of all ages the opportunity to revisit Nintendo’s original system and rediscover why they fell in love with Nintendo in the first place,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. “The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition is ideal for anyone who remembers playing the NES, or who wants to pass on those nostalgic memories to the next generation of gamers.”

Each console will come packaged with a NES Classic Controller, though a Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro can also be used. When connected to a Wii Remote controller, the NES Classic Controller can also be used to play Virtual Console NES games on a Wii U or Wii system.

I've pre-ordered yesterday at Saturn with a second controller for 75 EUR

Next up:

Nintendo Classic Mini: SNES
Nintendo Classic Mini: N64

I WILL BUY ALL OF EM

Hell yeah! The more mini Nintendos, the merrier.

I always regret getting rid of my SNES. Still got my N64 at my dad's... I only wanted the console for Golden Eye though, so it's the only game I have.

Golden Eye was BOSS

I can't understand why people complaining about that the controller is not wireless. You don't get the permission to play this console when you're not sitting on the floor right under your TV
playing it like we all did in the late 80s - 90s

@dan8885 Hell Yeah! I love the way you think my friend! I'd buy them ALL too!

@Noodles I miss my N64 I had so much damn fun playing Goldeneye, especially the paintball mode cheat!

Another game I had a blast with was Clayfighter! Do you ninjas remember that?

Haha well, believe it or not... I still sit right in front of the TV when playing video games, because that's how I grew up playing them. I even leave my PS4 controller plugged in all the time.

 

[CyberT]

Now available from GAME along with controllers.

@CyberT @Sigill Tagging you just in case.

Thanks for the info. I got the extra controller from zavvi.

Me too And I also leave the PS4 controller plugged in

Over here it's sold out atm at most places. I think this will not be limited and at some point available everywhere again but for now I'm glad I pre-ordered.

I read a lot complaining about the price and that you can get the games cheaper via WII store or with a mod on PC or other consoles.
For me Nintendo was a huge part of my youth. Gameboy, NES, SNES and N64 was everything to me. Everything else after N64 from Nintendo I never played. (Then there was only PS1, PS2, PS3 and now PS4 )
But I gladly support Nintendo now on this release and pay the money as a honor to the past!

Haha good to know I'm not the only one!

Yeah, I can't see this being limited... Nintendo will want to make as much as they possibly can from this since Sony and Microsoft have pretty much taken over now and they no longer make as much money.

Meh, screw the complainers... I think the price is great! I would've expected them to charge around £40 just for the 30 games, so £50 for all those games plus the console and a controller is pretty fair IMO.

My parents weren't very wealthy when I was a kid, so the only console I was lucky enough to have was a SNES, and even then I had to borrow games from my cousin, so I missed out on a lot of the classics. A friend who lived across the street from me had a Sega Master System with lots of games, so I probably played on that more than my own SNES lol.

That's another thing... I'd love to see Sega copy this idea! Not only would being able to play their games again be awesome, but it'd be so cool to have a mini version of the console sitting next to the mini NES.

I'm honestly more excited about this than any upcoming PS4 titles... I can't wait to replay Super Mario and Donkey Kong, and also check out the other games that I never got to play but have heard so many great things about over the years.

My parents are divorced, I'm single mum raised without any financial help by my dad. My mother worked from 8-8 to feed me little bastard.
The NES and SNES I got was used before so not that much expensive. And the N64 and all PS I paid for on my own.

Sega would be awesome but from Sega I only got the GameGear and I never played any other console from them. So the thing I hope the most for is a Mini SNES.
This would be ridiculous. Mario Kart man. Mario Kart!!!!

The blu-ray drive from my PS4 is broke since September last year so I gave up checking on new PS4 title.
I pre-ordered Uncharted 4 early last year and cancelled in December when I knew I'll not be able to play it by the time its released
I still got Arkham Knight sealed here and I only played like 1/3 of The Witcher 3 what I really liked. Pretty messed up

Sorry to hear that mate. My parents are actually divorced too, so it was my mum who also bought me the SNES... she did have a bit of financial support from my dad though thankfully.

I never owned a Sega myself, but had various friends who owned them... one had a GameGear which was good fun, although I've never been too great on handheld consoles. If they did do a mini Master System, then I'd love for them to release Sonic (obviously), Streets of Rage, ToeJam & Earl, Road Rash and Alex Kidd along with it.

I've never played Mario Kart (old nor new) unfortunately... my cousin didn't own that, so I never even knew it existed at the time. He was all about Street Fighter, which got boring quite quickly as I often played it by myself lol.

Damn dude... that sucks! Is there no way to repair/replace it, or would that cost too much? I always worry that mine will break somehow, especially since it started making a constant beeping noise whilst turned off. Game consoles certainly aren't as reliable as they used to be.

How did your PS4 drive break? Warranty didn't cover that?

I don't know how the drive break. I've wanted to switch from Witcher to Batman and he didn't gave me Witcher back. I did all the tricks the Internet offers for this situation and I was able to get the disc out but that's it. It don't make no noise, it don't take the disc in nothing. Just gone.

Warranty from Sony don't cover. Not even a extra warranty I bought at Saturn with the PS4. And there's just one store who fix them but I can't go there, I need to send the console them and then they give me a price. It's a mess

Thanks for the video. I'll have a watch.
Edit: Not the hard drive broke, the Blu-Ray drive it is

Sorry to hear your having trouble. That sucks.
If your handy, here's a video for replacing the drive. Maybe this might help?

I, mean - there is nothing to lose at this point, right? Maybe give it a shot.

Thanks a bunch! It looks not that difficult. Maybe when I got 10 days off early August I'll try it. BD drive cost 60 EUR on Amazon and comes with the fitting screwdriver.
I miss it so much to play

Definitely give it a shot! At least you have a step by step video! (Not everything does! I wish!)
Keep us in the loop!
Also- I found this bit. Just touching all bases in case this might work:

Thanks. I'll probably try it and yes I'll let you know if my baby survived it
I've read the post already but my drive don't make any noise. Sadly it's not this problem.
If its solved with 60 EUR im the happiest man ever
