Nintendo is re-releasing the iconic NES

Nintendo will be re-releasing its iconic Nintendo Entertainment System Console later this year.

This follows a Tweet confirming the release from the official Nintendo of America Twitter account.

The console appears to be a miniature variant (shown to easily fit in the palm of your hand) and is expected to launch in the US on 11 November.

The classic NES is back in a familiar-yet-new form as a mini replica of Nintendo’s original home console.

Plugging directly into a high-definition TV using the included HDMI cable, the console comes complete with 30 NES games built-in, including beloved classics like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, PAC-MAN and Kirby’s Adventure.

There is currently no confirmation on South African availability or pricing.
