NES Classic Edition has filters to re-create the crappy ’80s TV experience

It’s going to be a nostalgic Christmas.

Nintendo announced new features for the Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Edition, which launches November 11 for $60. The NES Classic is a mini-version of the original console, which dominated the gaming landscape from its launch in 1985 to the end of the ’80s. While it doesn’t play cartridges, it has 30 games on its drive and connects to modern TVs via HDMI. It also has multiple filters, which enables you to play in sharp quality or re-create the experience of playing on a crappy, ’80s TV.
