So nostalgia, such wow. Damn. Looks like we're all going to be playing Zelda come holiday season after all, but just not the one we originally anticipated. The mini-NES will be sold at $60, and come pre-installed with 30 classic games. 

It’ll also come ready with an HDMI cable, a power adapter, and what Nintendo's now calling an NES Classic Controller, “patterned after the iconic design of the original NES controller.” It’ll be out in stores on November 11.

This is the full list of games, via Nintendo:

• Balloon Fight^™
• BUBBLE BOBBLE

• Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest^™
• Donkey Kong^™
• Donkey Kong Jr. ^™

I'll just come outright and say it: Oregon Trail all the way, baby. Never have I ever derived such a confused amount of enjoyment and sadness from a game. Though, don't get me wrong I'll always have a special place in my heart for Sims (dat rosebud cheat code though..).

What about you guys--which game, and why?
