Our Ultimate Holiday Wish List: Nintendo NES Classic Edition

For the 8-bit enthusiast on your list.

Give the gift of nostalgia with this modernized mini version of the original cartridge-based Nintendo Entertainment System console. It maintains the original’s retro looks (even for the included controller) and comes with 30 8-bit favorites such as Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, and the Legend of Zelda preinstalled. Hook it up to a TV via the bundled HDMI cable, buy an extra controller for $10, and your post-holiday-dinner entertainment is squared away.
