Compacted Classic Game Systems

The 'NES Classic Edition' comes with 30 Built-In Vintage Games

— July 15, 2016 — Tech
Nintendo is re-releasing a modernized version of a classic game that captivated generations of children and is poised to dominate the game industry -- no, not Pokemon Go, but the new, palm-sized 'Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition.' Fans of throwback games like Super Mario Bros., Kirby's Adventure, MEGA MAN 2, and dozens of others will be able to play on the NES Classic Edition without the hassle that comes with finding arcane cords for HD TVs or setting up complex computer mods.

Aside from the benefit of its compact, portable size, the compact NES comes with a replica NES controller that is virtually indistinguishable from the original model. Equipped with a standard HDMI cable, the system is compatible with any modern TV, letting consumers plug in and play immediately.

Replete with 30 games built into the NES Classic Edition's hard drive, this system shows that even modern technological advancements aren't immune to the influence of their retro forebears.

1. Retro Gaming Revival - The re-release of classic game systems and popular games from previous eras continues to attract consumers and presents opportunities for competitors to offer modernized versions of vintage products.
2. Compact Design - The trend towards smaller, streamlined devices that are portable and easy to use is disrupting the gaming industry, providing companies with opportunities to create more convenient gaming products.
3. Plug-and-play Functionality - The demand for gaming systems that can be used immediately and easily without any complex setup is on the rise, providing opportunities for companies to develop products that cater to consumers' desire for convenience.
Industry Implications

2. Electronics - The electronics industry is seeing a shift towards smaller, more portable devices that are easy to use, presenting opportunities for companies to develop products that cater to this trend.
3. Entertainment - The entertainment industry is trending towards nostalgia and retro products, and companies that can tap into this trend by offering modernized versions of popular vintage products are likely to be successful.
