The NES Classic, the reimagined NES console small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, was announced yesterday and people are excited to play their favorite game classics all over again. While the console ships with 30 games, it looks like that’s all you will be able to play.
According to IGN, the NES Classic will not support Nintendo’s Virtual Console, cannot connect to the internet and cannot use external storage. In other words, the 30 games you get at launch with the NES Classic are the 30 games you get to play forever on it.
When asked if the NES Classic would be supporting My Nintendo or a Nintendo Account, the company said there was nothing to announced at the time. Nintendo also would not disclose the physical dimensions of the NES Classic.
This surely will seem pretty lame to gamers who originally saw the console and dreamed of owning every NES game released on one cool box. Thanks to the console’s limitations, it seems players will only be getting the included games, so no ROM support or even legal purchasing here, friends.
The 30 games players will get with the NES Classic are as follows:
Balloon Fight
Bubble Bobble
Castlevania
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
Double Dragon II
Dr. Mario
Excitebike
Final Fantasy

Gradius
Ice Climber
Kid Icarus
Kirby’s Adventure
Mario Bros.

SUPER C
