'''Classics''' (or '''Classic Edition Series'''), also known as the '''Nintendo Classic Mini''' in European languages, is a series of small consoles that contain a set number of pre-installed video games representing a specific console era. So far, only the NES Classic Edition, the SNES Classic Edition, and their Japanese variants, the Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer and Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom, have been confirmed to be part of the series.

The '''NES Classic Edition''' (known as the '''Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System''' in European languages) is a smaller version of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], which was announced on July 14, 2016, and is the first entry to the Classics series. For this iteration, it uses an HDMI cable, which is packaged with the console and, rather than using cartridges, includes 30 NES titles pre-installed. The games feature suspend points, allowing the player to resume where they last left off at a later time. The console also comes with a controller based on the original NES Controller, but with a connector based on those used by Wii Nunchuks, which can also be used to play [[Virtual Console]] NES games on [[Wii]] or [[Wii U]] by connecting it to a Wii Remote. The NES Classic Edition also supports Wii Classic Controllers. It was released in Australia on November 10, 2016, and in the Americas and Europe on November 11, 2016.<ref>Nintendo. (July 14, 2016).
