Nintendo Classic Back for the Summer

By Andreas Fanos on May 29, 2018

It is almost summer time and Nintendo has blessed us with bringing back the upgraded Nintendo Classic Edition. It will come back just in time for the summer on June 29 for $60. A tweet from Nintendo of America has confirmed that the edition will be back.

Consumers have been impressed with the blast to the past console, so much that it has sold out numerous times within a short time frame last year. The company then pulled the plug on the project but has now brought it back to customers. An article by simplemost points out that gamers will have to be fast in getting the system because it will be around for a limited time and be sold only “through the end of the year.” The brand has not been able to produce enough consoles as it has run out multiple times within a short period of time.

The Nintendo Classic is like the original Nintendo system but what separates it is the HDMI cable to connect to plasma-screen televisions and it comes loaded with 30 games. It also looks a lot cooler. A lot of the games are supreme classics like “Donkey Kong,” “Mario Bros,” “Pac-Man,” and “The Legend of Zelda.” This console will be important because it will give others a chance to get it who were not able to because it sold out quickly the other times. Nintendo has made other news recently with the announcement that an online service will be arriving in the future.

The re-release of this console could not come at a better time in the summer when college is over and there is more free time. Students in college are young adults, so playing this system will surely bring back nostalgia. Just like your favorite TV shows from childhood, think about your favorite video games. Some students can remember the glory days of playing a Nintendo 64 alone or with friends and you can relive the memories by playing the classic games that come with the console. Students should also play to de-stress after a long, stressful, and tough semester.

It is also important as a college student to take any summer classes that are necessary or snag a job or internship. But the summer is to relax and June 29 will be a big day for gamers. It has to be seen whether the edition sells out once again. Will you be buying the console this summer? I sure will be.
