Here's everything you get with Nintendo's miniature $80 Super Nintendo
It's 2017, and yet here I am rounding up pendants in "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" past midnight.
That's because I spent the weekend in the early-to-mid-'90s, wires strewn across my living room, playing Super Nintendo games on this beauty:
The adorably diminutive Super NES Classic Edition is nearly here — the console costs $80 and is scheduled for a September 29 launch. It comes with 21 games, the vast majority of which are foundational classics of gaming (think: "Super Mario World," "Mario Kart," and the aforementioned "Zelda" game).
Nintendo sent Business Insider a Super NES Classic Edition late last week. Before we dig into what it's like to play the console, here's a tour of everything you get for your $80:
Here it is! As promised, the Super NES Classic Edition literally fits in the palm of your hand. It's also outrageously light, which makes sense given that it's essentially a plastic box with little inside taking up space.
For a size comparison, I've lined up some familiar Amiibo behind the Super NES Classic Edition. That the Amiibo loom over the box should tell you something about how tiny this console is.
Not everything about the Super NES Classic Edition is tiny — the game pad is a near perfect re-creation of the original. The game pad is normal-sized, even though it looks like a giant in comparison with the console.
