Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition, known as Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe and Australia and the Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer (Japanese: ニンテンドークラシックミニ ファミリーコンピュータ?) in Japan, is a miniature replica of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) video game console by Nintendo which launched on November 10, 2016 in Australia and Japan, November 11, 2016 in North America and Europe and November 23, 2016 in Russia. Based upon software emulation, it includes a static library of 30 built-in games from the licensed NES library, including some third-party titles, with writable storage only for save states.
On April 13, 2017, Nintendo of America announced the discontinuation of the NES Classic Edition, with the last shipments going out to retailers in North America throughout that month.
The system features HDMI display output and a new replica controller, which can also connect to the Wii Remote for use with Virtual Console games on Wii and Wii U. The controllers for the Japanese version are hardwired into the console just like the original Famicom. Because of this, the controllers and connecting cables are also smaller and shorter respectively, and cannot connect to a Wii Remote for use with Virtual Console games.
The console houses a new Nintendo Entertainment System emulation engine developed by Nintendo European Research & Development (NERD). The emulation engine was well-received by critics and was regarded as superior in both visual and audio support when compared to the NES Virtual Console emulation on the Wii U.
