Nintendo has just released an awesome 80s-inpired retro trailer for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) Classic Edition and it will take you 30 years back in time.
After Nintendo made waves by announcing the mini NES console last week, the company has dropped its official trailer, which showcases some of the old-school titles that users will be able to play on the system in an epic 1980s-inspired montage.
With the release of Pokémon Go, which has taken the world by storm ever since its arrival earlier this month, and the recent announcement of the NES classic console, Nintendo is looking to cash in on the raw nostalgia, which is one of its greatest weapons.
The NES Classic Edition's trailer features titles like "Donkey Kong," "Super Mario Bros" and "Punch Out" among other titles on an old television screen via the original NES in all its 8-bit glory before the console transforms into a NES classic and the old-TV screen makes way for a more modern display. The commercial ends with the NES tagline, "Now You're Playing With Power."
The miniature console, which is as big as the palm of your hand, comes with a NES Classic controller and will allow users to play 30 fan-favorite titles, which include "The Legend of Zelda," "Pac Man," "Final Fantasy" and "Metroid," according to BGR.
The NES Classic Edition is easy to set up and can be plugged into any modern-day TV using an HDMI cable. The console's only downside is that it does not include support for original NES cartridges and users will not be able to download and play additional titles besides the 30 games that come with the system.
Nintendo's NES Classic Edition will be available for purchase on Nov. 11 and will retail at a price of $60.
