Its easy to see the appeal of these plug-and-play systems that appear around the holidays. Finding working consoles and cartridges is a chore, as is finding a way to properly store them. Nintendos NES Classic seems, at first glance, like the sort of system that youd grab on a lark. Youd hook them up to a TV every once in a while or give it as a gift to someone who had the NES years ago or was too young to witness it in its heyday. But, its more than that. This is a system that will work well when youre in your home or visiting with friends.
The NES Classic is teeny. This is a statement I repeated multiple times to not only people upon actually seeing and holding it, but also to the system itself. (Because clearly, the NES Classic had to know it is teeny.) However, its size is misleading. You might look at something so small and feel as though it might be handled delicately or gingerly. While you certainly wont want to go around dropping it from great heights, it isnt something that will easily fall apart. The controllers clamp in securely, with buttons that must be pressed to release them from the system, its well constructed, and the buttons dont feel loose or flimsy.
Frankly, its a system where theres not much that can go wrong with it. You have the NES Classic unit, which feels as sturdy to me as my Nintendo 3DS does. You have the controller, which is a dead ringer for the original NES controller. The only moving parts are the power and reset buttons, which are securely affixed. I worry more about my RetroN 5, my current means of playing actual NES cartridges, than I would about the NES Classic. Especially when it comes to pulling the cartridges out of it!
It certainly feels better made than the other plug-and-play systems Ive owned. The NES Classics plastic is solid. It genuinely feels like a smaller version of an actual NES, while the controller is pretty much identical to the one offered with the NES. Its worlds better than the AtGames Genesis I have, though I do appreciate its ability to play cartridges. Its worlds better than the Intellivision Flashback system I own. While I did appreciate the cartridge overlays, it doesnt feel like something I could play every day for a week or month or take around with me.
Which is why the NES Classic feels to me like a more portable plug-and-play. Its great in homes, sure. Ive been plugging it into my TVs HDMI slot, sitting on the floor in front of my TV, and using it almost every day since Ive gotten it. The only issue Ive had is it not working with my HDMI splitter the same way my Nintendo Wii U, PlayStation TV, and PlayStation 3 do. I have to actually plug its cable into my TV for it to work. But, it seems more like something you take with you when visiting friends or family.
Ive been using the NES Classic box for getting it from place to place. It did a good enough job keeping it secure in transit to my home, and this is one of those rare items where you can perfectly get everything to fit back in the box the way it did originally. When I get where Im going, we clear a space off on either the TV stand or floor in front of it, plug in the applicable cords, and sit in front of the TV to enjoy some classic games. Its been out with me three times now and survived every voyage easily.
Even the game list encourages scenarios where youd take the NES Classic out of the house for gaming sessions with other people. Of the 30 games in the collection, 16 offer multiplayer options. Of those, eight are sequential games. Its something you want to share with other people.
Youre going to have to sit right in front of the NES Classic to play it, yes. You may even need to get a longer HDMI cable to have it reach from the TV to a place of honor where it can rest. But, it feels like something that isnt going to be permanently interred in one station. This feels like a plug-and-play system that will be constantly plugged and unplugged to take it with you so everyone can enjoy the games on it. And, thanks to it being such a solid, well made little box, itll take those trips in stride.
The NES Classic will come to North America and Europe on November 11, 2016.

Also, heads up, Amazon is getting its first limited shipment on Fri. Will go on sale at 2 pm PST. Even limited to one per customer, expect them to go fast.
it was on the news (normal news outlets )both state side and in Canada that this is like the new furby for Christmas shopping. Every one is after this .Nintendo forked themselves by not having an adequate supply. This is going to be a huge holiday seller for them. They probably underestimated the demand. The impact of their legacy and nostalgia factor hasn't been lost on consumers. They played it a little too cautious. I work at Target and we only had 15 units on hand. A good line of people, about 40-50, were waiting outside a few hours before we opened. Naturally, the unfortunate ones got turned away.
yeah no one want's to get into to super market brawls or be a victim of the stampedes .I heard Best Buy had 50. Wish I knew this before.
I also heard Nintendo will sell more during Black Friday and December 1st. So hopefully I'll have all the kinks worked out for my buying strategy.
Not at all. This is the same strategy they employed with the Wii. They are creating artificial demand in hopes that people who weren't going to buy one, eventually will when they see it because they'll think it's a hot, rare item.Nintendo forked themselves by not having an adequate supply.

OK Just a couple of days ago, the NES Classic Edition launched in North America and Europe, and the tiny console was instantly met with high consumer demand, rendering lots of people unable to get their hands on a system.
However, Nintendo has announced that they are working to alleviate this problem. Over on their official Twitter, Nintendo of America has attempted to put consumers at ease, assuring that they are working hard to keep up with consumer demand. Additionally, they went on to say that consumers can look forward to a steady flow of additional systems through the holiday shopping season and into the new year.
Below are Nintendos official tweets regarding the matter:
