Nintendo Preps Launch of NES Classic Edition

Do you pine for those days you use to play those simple, block graphics-based console games like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda? Tired of today's vertigo inducing world of virtual reality and super realistic rendering? Did you like Mario better when he was an 8-bit sprite? You'll be a fan of the new Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition, which Nintendo said today it will be launching for this holiday season. The new, NES Classic Edition--which will cost only $59.99--will include 30 classic NES games, including The Legend of Zelda, Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Castlevania, Punch-Out!, Excitebike, Ice Climber, Galaga, d many more. Nintendo said Friday that the new system will be available in a little more than a month, in time for the holiday season.
