To the millions of 'Nintendo' generations - here's a cheer for your nostalgia. The 'Nintendo Classic Edition; is making a comeback.  It was 1980s when Nintendo was the 'IN' thing.   Shortly after it was released in 1985, NES was an instant hit which sold over 60 million units from all over the world.  It shaped the 'pop culture' generation.  "Nintendo" was their world.

The main reason why, NES Classic Edition mini version is coming home again. It has the console 'thing' that helps the ergo synchronize with what you want to do for the character in a game.   The new "Nintendo Classic Edition" is small, yet the designed is more like the old NES.  That 'drop dead' thing you would wish for when you were a kid - during the 80s and 90s. NES comes with a single-wired console, just like the old one, but a little lighter. 

The "NES Classic Edition" offers an easy set-up -plug in and press the button.  Here's the trick, the CRT Filter looks like the old television set, the same screen used during the earlier years. 

It's a good holiday gift to friends aged 20s to 40s as it really brings back the euphoria of having the most sought after gadget in their generation.  Also a great tool for younger kids as they look back on how far the technology has come as time passed by.

Just once concern the "Nintendo Classic Edition" has, the short controller cable length.  How inconvenient this could mean? In these generation where remote controls, Bluetooth and Wifi's are all around, a cable that controls the player movement to stick for only about few feet away from TV Screens?  Well, Nintendo seems to be unaffected.  But an extension cable is available for the mean time.
