The NES Classic Can Be Hacked Now

Well, it only took a few months for hackers to jailbreak the tiny console known as the NES Classic. While Nintendo have said there are no more games coming to the system, these modders can add as many NES games as they want. However, it’s still early days and there are doubts that every NES game will function properly on the simplified console. You can do this to your own NES Classic, but it should only be done at your own risk. Check out the video below to see the mod in action.

Nintendo Has Released A Video For The NES Classic Edition (NES Mini)

Nintendo has released a nostalgia filled new video for the upcoming NES Classic Edition. The system comes pre-loaded with 30 of the all-time greatest Nintendo Entertainment System games including The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Metroid just to name a few. It retails for $59.99 and is set to release on November 11th.

The NES Mini Will ONLY Be Supporting The 30 Games It Comes With

Nintendo has clarified that the NES Classic Edition is not compatible with your old game cartridges, it won’t support external storage or connect to the internet. According to Polygon there is a USB port on the system, but it is "only used to power the system with the included AC adapter." No one should really be surprised by this. It was obvious that when Nintendo announced this earlier in the day that this system was made to: 

A. Have a younger audience experience what the NES was like and give them some essential games to play

B. Capitalize on nostalgia

C. Celebrate and preserve the NES

Now when I say preserve I mean keeping as it was, not giving it an upgrade to have WIFI so you can download more NES games from an online store. Think about it, it’s called CLASSIC EDITION for a reason. If it was called NES Online or something of that nature then that would totally make sense. What do you think about the NES Mini only having the 30 games it comes with on it ?
