The output of the NES Classic Edition, also known as My childhood, is getting closer. The small replica in miniaturized version of the classic 8-bit Nintendo, will be released from November 11 and will bring 30 built-in games for just $ 60. The expectation is maximum. If to date we had barely come to know that the console would connect to the TV via HDMI, in recent days we have been able to learn more about this little retro gem.

In USGamer They’ve had the opportunity to test the new Nintendo console, and it seems that some unpleasant suspicions are being confirmed. eye! There are also certain details that will delight many, such as an improvement in the quality of the image compared to its eighties version. But… the controller cables. Oh, the cables.

New Mini-NES specs come to light

Positive aspects

Let’s start with the good:

• The mini-NES will feature 4 display modes:
  • 4: 3 mode: It is the standard display mode.
  • Pixel Perfect mode: In this mode each pixel is represented as a perfect square. That is, we can see the game as it was originally created.
  • Scan-line mode: This mode displays the image with the typical horizontal lines effect, as it would appear on an old television.
• There will be the possibility of creating save points.
• Each game will have a QR code. Once scanned, we can access the original instructions manual for the game.

Negative aspects

It seems that it has finally been confirmed, and the wiring issue is going to be a problem for more than one:

• Controller cables are short. Very short. As explained Bob mackey in USGamerThey would barely reach one meter in length. With this it is clear that if we want to play the mini-NES from the sofa, it better be near the TV.
• There is no button or option home. To exit a game or load another, you need to press the button Reset from the console.

Otherwise, it seems that the console is consistent and has a good finish, like everything that manufactures Nintendo. To whet your appetite, a new trailer of the NES Classic Edition:
