5 Reasons the NES Classic Will Be Freakin’ Awesome

5 Reasons the NES Classic Will Be Freakin’ Awesome

Nintendo is bringing back the original Nintendo Entertainment System! I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a gaming product in my adult life. No more floppy knockoff NES systems that break after a few days. Nintendo is bringing back the console that started it all and it won’t slightly suck just as every makeshift NES console has in the past decade. This thing is going to be awesome, and not just because it rests perfectly in one hand. Let’s take a gander at why we’re super stoked for the NES Classic Mini.

Sure, it seems like a logical and cost-effective solution, but the one aspect gamers are overlooking, outside of the moral one, is quality. Most emulators are buggy, experience button lag, and look just plain bad on most displays. Nintendo’s NES Classic Mini won’t have any of that. In fact, that leads me directly to my next point…

It’s reported that the NES Classic Mini will flawlessly connect to any HD television via the provided HDMI cable, without any rendering or aspect ratio issues. Furthermore, it’s also been rumored to play sound beautifully without any chopping, buzzing, or distortion.

The NES Classic Mini will come packed with 30 of Nintendo’s glorious titles from back in the day. Nintendo’s confirm the list will include favorites such as Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Megaman 2, Super Mario Bros., Tecmo Bowl, and The Legend of Zelda. The icing on the cake comes in the form of being able to save at any time in all 30 of the titles. No need to keep that little guy running all night so you can wake up early and beat Super Mario Bros. before heading to work.

Save Your Breath

Save Your Breath

Gamers will receive all the Nintendo love without ever having to blow a single breath into another cartridge again. I know some of you are a little sad about this, but just remember all that time wasted blowing and spitting into those worn out games. Never again! The cartridge flap doesn’t even open.

That Classic Controller

One of the greatest compliments to perhaps Nintendo’s greatest creation is without a doubt the original NES controller. Simple, yet elegantly effective against all types of foes both earthly and computer generated. Yes, the NES Classic Mini will come loaded with the original NES controller, wired cord and all.
