Nintendo Classic Mini NES Review: Mini NES Brings Back 80s Kid Façade, Appeals To Millennials

By

Thanksgiving Day is a few days away and the vibe is on for the Christmas holiday season. Gamers could croon their Christmas Carols after the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) recently released its adorable “Nintendo Classic Mini NES,” which many believe might be the best gift to players of all age.

The cute minibox is a shrunken facsimile of the classic Nintendo NES that has the compilations of 30 original Nintendo classic games. It comes with a smaller version of NES Controller, HDMI cable, and a USB power source for only £49.99 ($62.04).

However, “Nintendo Classic Mini NES” has been listed sold out across every stores and online shops up to this day. Whether Nintendo has designed its exclusivity and limited number of stocks, many fans are left disappointed.

After all, a lot of eighties babies are so interested in bringing back the nostalgic ambiance in playing the incredible games like Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Ice Climber, Pac-Man and many more.

The console is incredibly a joy in hand. It is a smaller version that can actually fit in the palm. It is also very light and does run in a simpler design and emulator chipset. Its accurate plastic durability and feature would definitely bring back the Eighties childhood.

The “Nintendo Classic Mini NES” controller has the original design of buttons that are replicated from the classic gamepad. Only one controller is available in the bundle but another controller can be separately purchase for £7.99 ($9.92)

However, the cable’s short length of 77cm might be a mini issue for some. Some players are dragging a footstool directly in front of their TV whenever they play the game.

Although with some issues that comes with its classic replication, the gaming experience is ultimately pleasurable. It has a side-scrolling menu of the 30 games that can have at most four save-slots for each game. The 4:3 display output is also a joy for a “pixel perfect” display option.

Over all, granting that “Nintendo Classic Mini NES” doesn’t feature an amazing complex and visual vibrancy, its simplicity and classic vibe have made it to be very much appealing even to the younger players and to older gamers trilled with the nostalgia.
