- Not to be confused with Classic NES Series.
Classics, also known as the Nintendo Classic Mini in PAL regions, 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, Nintendo Classic Mini: Famicom (Japanese only), and SNES Classic Edition have been confirmed.
NES Classic Edition
The NES Classic Edition (known as the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe and Australia) 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.[1] A Japanese version of the NES Classic Edition, the Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer, was released exclusively in Japan on the same day, and includes a slightly different software line-up than its overseas counterpart.
The Mario games included in the console are as follows:
- Donkey Kong
- Donkey Kong Jr.
- Dr. Mario
- Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros. 2
- Super Mario Bros. 3
Upon the system's release, stores sold out of the NES Classic Edition almost immediately after they went up for sale. Nintendo has recognized this and stated there will be a "steady flow of additional systems through the holiday shopping season and into the new year."[2] On April 2017, a Nintendo representative informed IGN that the system was being discontinued, and the final shipments would be sent out that month.[3]
Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer
On September 29, 2016, Nintendo announced the Japanese version of the NES Classic Edition, the Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer.[4] Similar to its overseas equivalent, it includes 30 pre-installed Family Computer games, although some of the games are different from those on the NES Classic Edition due to region exclusivity. While playing a game, players are able to save to up to four Restore Points at any time.[5] It was released in Japan alongside the NES Classic Edition on November 10, 2016.
The Mario games included in the system are:
- Donkey Kong
