New details on the NES Classic Edition have been revealed, confirming Nintendo's adorable mini console will feature several different display options, as well as permanent save points.

In an interview with La Terrasse ÉNERGIE (translation via Nintendo Everything and LuigiBlood), Nintendo of Canada communications manager Julie Gagnon said the NES Classic Edition will not only include a pixel perfect option that displays each pixel as a square, but also a mode simulating the retro look from a CRT television and an option to display the games in a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Gagnon also confirmed that all 30 of the games included with the console will feature permanent save points and "instant temporary saves," allowing the player to jump right back into the action without having to use a password or start over from the beginning every time they boot up the system.

The NES Classic Edition launches on November 11 and features an assortment of some of the best games to ever grace the system, including Super Mario Bros. 3, Final Fantasy and The Legend of Zelda.

I am more and more looking at getting this, the old gogga has bitten me and so missing the old days.

Hope they add more games over time. I must say though, I have mixed feelings about the save points. One of the allures of these old classics was how mind-numbingly difficult they were, and how ass-numbingly difficult it was to complete them in one sitting.

Not everyone will agree with me of course, but the feeling of accomplishment after beating Battletoads or Contra or Top Gun etc was very special.
