Look. At. This. Little. Thing.
This right here is an instant buy for almost all the eighties kids. Nintendo might be taking a risk with their upcoming Switch console in 2017, but with the reissue of their classic console in pocket format they’ve struck gold.
It’s the Nintendo Entertainment System built for 2016
- It’s very small and portable
- It has an HDMI port
- It runs off of USB power
- Controllers connect through USB
- Extra controllers for your friends cost nothing
- It comes with 30(!) games built-in
Those 30 games that come with it?

Sure, you’ll miss the nostalgia of blowing dust off of the cartridges to get your games working, but this is like a little time capsule carrying all those days you spend trying to beat these near-impossible games.
If I’d have to name one downside it’s the short cables on the controller. I don’t want to sit 1 inch away from my TV Nintendo!
But..
