No you didn’t read that wrong, and no I can’t believe it as well, but it is true.  Nintendo have announced that they will be distributing the NES System (titled the Nintendo Classic Mini) to the public along with 30 included titles.  The console that was originally launched 30 years ago back in 1986, will be released on November the 11^th, though to which stores, they have not specified.

The included titles are:

Balloon Fight

This is a great idea by Nintendo (they seem to be on a genius marketing roll right now), and bring the classic games that revolutionised the gaming industry, and helped build the foundations for games today, to the modern generation.

What do you think?  Are you excited? Or does the absence of online-multiplayer, Micro-transactions, and Hundred dollar DLC, put you off?  Comment down below or tweet me at @Giantjordisteel
