Ah, they don’t make games like this any more. And that’s not a feed for a punchline about, “Thank God.” The graphics may be primitive (we prefer “charming”), but at least half the games Nintendo is packaging with its NES Classic Edition are among the most addictively playable ever created. It’s great to see Nintendo dusting them down! It will be available in the UK from 11 November with a recommended retail price of £49.99.
