When it was announced a few months ago, there was definitely a lot of nostalgic reminiscing about the good ol’ NES days. The NES Classic Edition is due to be released tomorrow, November 11th, but has been surprisingly impossible to pre-order. One of our intrepid readers emailed Amazon about this and received the following response:

- The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition has the original look and feel, only smaller, sleeker, and pre-loaded with 30 games
- The pre-installed games include: Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, PAC-MAN, Dr. Mario, Mega Man, Final Fantasy, and dozens more (check out the full list)
- Includes a standard HDMI cable
- Comes with one old-school, grey-colored NES Classic Controller and an AC adapter
- Also compatible with Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro. Additional NES Classic Controllers will be sold separately
If you are a long time Nintendo fan, or looking to introduce your kids to some classic gaming, the NES Classic Edition should hold you over until the release of the new Nintendo Switch next year.
