Nintendo has launched a new "old" console on the market for $ 60 that revives the classic NES released over 35 years ago with 30 games available in memory and classic console controls, a full plate for nostalgics. In addition to nostalgia, the NES Classic Edition, as it is being called, brings buyers a hint of modernity as well as nostalgia, such as an HDMI cable to make the audio and video connection with today's TV sets, Q processor.uad-core ARM Cortex-A7, 256 MB RAM and 512 MB NAND Flash memory to store games.

For the console software Linux was used in conjunction with a NES emulator and a custom interface by Nintendo itself. The product will certainly be very appealing to nostalgic people, but it has some limitations on features that consumers would probably like, such as being able to add more games somehow, by memory card or something, via download, with a store for buy the games, etc. But apparently this is not an available resource.
