Check out the brand new Mini NES trailer that shows off all the cool new features.
The main hub of the Mini NES will show all of the 30 pre-loaded games but to help locate games quickly and easily, you can press the Select button to sort by title, two-player games, recently played games, number of times played, release date and publisher. Also, all of the games’ original manuals can be viewed by scanning an on-screen QR Code with a smart device, which allowing players to gain an advantage before they dive into the gameplay.
The aforementioned Suspend Points will be a big part of the Mini NES. Up to four Suspend Points can be saved per game, so you can track the progress of multiple players or file away your favorite moments.
All games can be played in three display modes including the CRT filter, a scan-line effect which gives everything onscreen that retro look and feel. 4:3 is a sharp, clean look that adheres to the original aspect ratio used by the NES. And when playing in Pixel Perfect mode, every pixel is shown as a perfect square, providing the most accurate representation of the games as they were originally designed.
“Be the cool dad, mom, aunt, uncle or best friend by gifting someone this holiday season with the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of sales and marketing in a press release. “This perfectly sized stocking stuffer could produce the same level of excitement that people felt over 30 years ago when they received the original NES as kids.”
The Mini NES will be available Nov. 11 for $59.99.
