Nintendo has announced that it will be releasing an official Mini NES system this November.

The Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System comes packaged with an HDMI cable, a USB cable for powering the system, and one Nintendo Classic Mini: NES Controller.

Players can even enjoy playing many of these games together by attaching a second Nintendo Classic Mini: NES Controller, sold separately. A Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro for the Wii console can also be used. The Nintendo Classic Mini: NES Controller can also be used to play Virtual Console NES games on a Wii U or Wii console."

This is such an eighties/nineties thing to do. Releasing a console wth build in games is like a trowback to their game and watch series. This is such a Toy! Did I mention I love it?

Nintendo is finally making an Atari Flashback? Makes sense. There's an Intellivision one, Coleco, Sega, and Commodore units.
