The Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System is a baby NES with 30 built-in games
Here’s one out of the blue! Nintendo has just announced the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System, a pocket sized and NES shaped device with 30 built in games.
The tiny NES will be launched in Australia on November 10th this year and November 11th in Europe. It will carry an SRP $99.95 add comes with a controller, one HDMI cable and a USB cable.
While it does come with a USB cable to power it, you’re going to have to find the source of that power yourself as there’s no AC adapter included. Some TVs or laptops might work, but Nintendo suggests the use of an AC adapter which plugs into the wall.
You could use your phone charger for example, but it’s still a little annoying ones not included.

hmm, could a nintendo nx to be delayed message be coming.
seems strange,to release this new nes 4 months before the nx.
Hmm, going back to USD price x 2 hey Nintendo Australia? I thought those days were over.
This is how Nintendo is going to build Christmas shopping buzz around its brand?
No doubt I will get one but seems a little expensive for the everyday non Nintendo fan. But I could be wrong.
Don’t need but still want. Twas my first ever console it was…
How good would of been Aussie Rules Footy and International Cricket would of been on this small machine. Aussie Rules Footy was one of the greatest 2 player games of all time and still the best AFL game by a country mile.
