Testing The NES Classic Edition
Nintendo's plug-and-play console is out next week, but ours is already here. We hooked it up to play with it, and discuss all its games and features.
The system, called the NES Classic Edition, releases November 11, will be $59.99, and include 30 classic NES games. In the video below, Joe Juba (who reviewed the system here), check out a few of its games, try out its assorted display options, and discuss a few of its shortcomings. And by shortcomings, I mean the length of its controller.
For some close up photos of the system, head here, and head here for our review.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
