In May of 2016, Nintendo announced the NES Classic Edition, a Plug-&-Play device that includes 30 games at no extra cost (My life in Gaming, 2016). The total cost is $59.99. The imitation of the games is better than the Wii U Virtual Console (GameXplain, 2016.) On the day it launched, it sold out like hotcakes. When you turn it on, it has a Lunix-based menu, included with those 30 games, from good to legendary. There are 3 graphics modes to suit your taste:
* Pixel Perfect: resolution is 8:7
* 4:3: consumer wants. (Classic)
* & CRT Filter: scanlines and color bleeding.
The negatives are that you can’t download games and the controller is 30 inches long. The original was 91.5 inches long.
The pros of the Wii U Virtual Console are that you can play on a portable system and you can buy it online too. The Wii U has 550 MHz. The virtual console is a specialized section of the Wii Shop that allows players to download retro games.
The cons of the Wii U are that you have to pay for each game separately. The color is a little darker and the game is blurry. The cost of the Wii U is $385 on Amazon.com.
My final verdict is that the NES Classic edition is better than the Wii U virtual console.
