When the Nintendo came out in 1985 it was the best thing ever for a kid, there was no other thing you would rather do then get home from school and play it. Now 36 years later, we have consoles like Xbox and PlayStation that are very high tech, especially with graphics.
About two weeks ago, adults could finally enjoy a childhood console that I’m sure they didn’t have any more or forgot about. The Nintendo classic was released and there was a very high demand for it. I was able to get out and see if there were any lines at the local GameStop and Walmart, what I discovered was a long line of people waiting to bring it home.
The Nintendo Switch sold out in matters of a minutes, most stores only carried about ten of the consoles making it very limited for customers to buy. If you weren’t able to purchase one in store or online, the only other place to buy from would be eBay. The only problem with purchasing the item from eBay is you would have to pay the resellers price which was just ridiculous.
There are some pros and cons with the new Nintendo Classic, one pro is it looks and feels just like the original although it is much smaller. The system can be powered by your TV’s USB port, it also has a great selection of about 30 classic games.
There are definitely a few cons one of them being the controller cable is extremely short and there is no way to buy new games. If you had an idea of using an old controller from the original Nintendo like my parents had, think again because it does not support original accessories.
When I asked my parents about what they thought, they were extremely happy with what they purchased. The system was nice and small and it had most of their favorite games, the first night we played for hours and had a great time. They did have a few things to say about the tiny controller cable and also how you can’t get any other games for it, but overall it was a great purchase.
