Nintendo has disappointed many fans of its products after last year it
announced the discontinuation of the mini console NES Classic Edition. The prefix is all similar to the original, but only at first glance. In fact, this is quite a modern device with a modern electronic filling. The size of the console - with the palm of an adult.
"We wanted to give fans of all ages the opportunity to re-open the original Nintendo system, let them remember why they liked this console so much ... Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition is perfect for everyone who remembers how to play NES, or who would like to give feel the taste of such a game to a new generation of gamers, ”
said Reginald Fils-Aimé, president and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America, at one time. I must say, the company succeeded.
Only in 2016, more than 1.5 million consoles were sold. Fully satisfy the demand for them and failed. Regarding the reasons for the discontinuation of the release of consoles, one of them is the focus on the Nintendo Switch. The Japanese needed all the resources to work on this modern console.
The review of NES Classic itself
has already been published on Geektimes. Who missed - here he is.
Now, apparently, Nintendo has freed up resources, so that the console
again begin to produce and sell. On June 29, she will return to store shelves in many countries, including the US and Europe. In addition, sales of the
SNES Classic Edition will resume by the end of the year. These consoles have sold more than 5 million.
In addition to all this, Nintendo will make available 20 NES games with multiplayer. True, they can enjoy only those who have a subscription to the Switch service. Games can be obtained from September of this year.
