All of us here at Puffer Cloud are also HUGE video game nerds and like most of you we also had super hard time locating the new Nintendo NES Classic Edition. This blast from the past has surely awoken the inner child in all of us and has made us hungry for that nostalgic feeling of sitting around playing the original Super Mario Brothers into the wee hours of the night. The Nintendo NES Classic Edition comes bundled with 30 built-in games (listed below), a classic NES controller, an HDMI and AC cable, and of course the NES console itself that has been shrunken down to resemble a miniature version of the original NES.
There has been plenty of mixed feedback for the new NES Classic Edition. Some people are overwhelmed with old school joy, while others are feeling a bit ripped off. Of course, people are mad about the lack of sufficient stock amounts in stores. Reports said that the system sold out in about 5 minutes online. Reviews are also stating that the 30 games that are built into the console aren't the ones that they had hoped for and since they are built-in and there is no slot for playing other game cartridges, you are stuck with what they give you. There has also been reports of lag between button presses and game movements, making it difficult to truly enjoy their childhood games.
All in all, the Nintendo NES Classic Edition has been a fun flashback in time and has certainly brought us back to the good ol' days of simple gamming. A true 8-bit experience that will please any classic gamer and any little flaws are easily overlooked. The Puffer Cloud team has our new NES classic system setup in our break area, so whenever someone goes missing we know just where to find them. A couple of drinking games have also been born since we started playing the NES Classic! The system is definitely worth checking out if you can get your hands on one. Hopefully Nintendo will replenish stocks soon.
