Nintendo is riding their wave of momentum from Pokémon Go and have announced that they're bringing back the NES — only smaller.
The company announced on July 14 that they're releasing the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition later this year.
It looks just like a NES, only a lot tinier, and it comes with 30 games built in.
You can connect it to your TV via HDMI cable, and it also includes a controller designed to work just like the iconic rectangular NES gamepad. (The new controller will also connect to a Wii Remote, so that you can use it to play Virtual Console games on a Wii or Wii U.)
In addition to HDMI support and no cartridges, the new mini-console also features one useful modern convenience: multiple suspend points, so that you won't have to fumble around with passwords when you start playing a game again.
The NES Classic Edition will be available on Nov. 11.
