Game time NES Classic GamesĪll these features are well and good but, as we said, the NES Classic Edition is first and foremost a place to play games without distraction. The console has two controller ports, and 16 out of the 30 games offer some kind of two-player mode, which is a lot of fun. Conversely, it also means that players with a Wii Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro can use those as well. The controller connects to it using the same port found on the bottom of the Wii remote, which means it can also be used to play NES games through the Wii or Wii U virtual console.
Similarly, the NES Classic comes with a replica NES controller, which looks and feels identical to the original. The device jumps right to a menu where you can select a game and start playing. Instead, you simply plug in its power cable, connect its HDMI cord to your TV, and press the power button on the console. The NES Classic Edition does not need cartridges for every game. Of course, the door is actually just etched into the plastic. Though the system has since been discontinued, and is very difficult to find, the NES Classic Edition offers uncompromised nostalgia for those who may not have otherwise sought it out. As such, it isn’t meant for tinkerers, modders, and hardcore retro game enthusiasts who already have access to these games elsewhere: Yes, there are legally gray means of playing all these games and more on your PC or through similar, unlicensed third-party emulator boxes, but for many that option is too complicated or is otherwise unpalatable. It is a toy for those who want to play these games as they remembered them and nothing more. There is no authorized way to upgrade its hardware, buy games through it, or alter it in any way. I say “machine” and not “computer,” because, for many, the word computer carries certain expectations: The NES Classic Edition does not connect to the internet. Nintendo finally loosened its grip with the NES Classic, a small emulation box that lets you play 30 NES games on modern TVs, giving Nintendo fans a more affordable way to access its some of its NES canon without buying a Wii U or 3DS. For years fans have been forced to buy new Nintendo consoles to play both the newest entries the company’s beloved franchises, and the classic games of its past. Nintendo has always held its game library close to its chest. Updated on 5-16-2017 by Gabe Gurwin: Added information on discontinuation to introduction.
