Nintendo's retro ad for new mini NES will take you back in '80s

NES Classic Edition is scheduled to go on sale from November 11 for $59.99

Last week when Nintendo had announced the launch of a tiny version of original Nintendo Entertainment System console, NES Classic Edition, it gave people a major dose of nostalgia.

Nintendo released a video of NES Classic Edition and it seems straight out of the ‘80s, fuelling nostalgic feeling among Nintendo fans.



The video starts with the screen opening to Super Mario Bros. It has everything from gaudy fonts to signature pink and purple colours and retro-futuristic grids of ‘80s. The video ends with an aggressive voice saying "Now you're playing with power!"

It is scheduled to go on sale from November 11 this year for $59.99. You can buy an additional NES Classic Controller for $9.99.

The new classic edition will come with 30 pre-installed games, including classics such as Super Mario Bros 1, 2 and 3, Donkey Kong, Bubble Bobble, The Legend of Zelda and more.

The new console, which is described as a “mini replica”, seems to be launching only in the US for now. It is also compatible with our new-age TV sets as NES classic edition plugs-in with HDMI cable.
