The launch of the Nintendo Mini (NES Classic Edition) is bringing back memories. While the classic Nintendo Entertainment System has sparked a lot of nostalgia among the older generations, it has also triggered the interest of the new generation of players. It is currently out of stock, but reports indicate that additional units would be released before the holidays.

The new Nintendo Mini is light and compact with a body that is a fraction of the original NES console size. The system is powered by a USB cable which can be connected to a TV port or power socket directly. An AC adaptor is not included in the box. However, it comes with a free HDMI cable, making it a plug-and-play device.

The Nintendo Classic Mini does not have a cartridge slot, so players will be able to play only the built-in games. There can be no additional content and expansions because the NES system does not have Internet support and expandable storage.

One controller is provided, and a slot for another one is available. The Nintendo Classic Mini is better known as the Family Computer, featuring three display options such as the regular 4:6 mode, the reinforced Pixel Perfect mode, and the classic CRT mode.
