Classics

Classics, also known as the Nintendo Classic Mini in PAL regions, is a series of small consoles that contain a set number of pre-installed video games representing a specific console era. So far, only the NES Classic Edition, the SNES Classic Edition, and their Japanese variants, the Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer and Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom, have been confirmed.

NES Classic Edition
The NES Classic Edition (known as the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe and Australia) is a smaller version of the Nintendo Entertainment System, which was announced on July 14, 2016, and is the first entry to the Classics series. For this iteration, it uses an HDMI cable, which is packaged with the console and, rather than using cartridges, includes 30 NES titles pre-installed. The games feature suspend points, allowing the player to resume where they last left off at a later time. The console also comes with a controller based on the original NES Controller, but with a connector based on those used by Wii Nunchuks, which can also be used to play Virtual Console NES games on Wii or Wii U by connecting it to a Wii Remote. The NES Classic Edition also supports Wii Classic Controllers. It was released in Australia on November 10, 2016, and in the Americas and Europe on November 11, 2016. A Japanese version of the NES Classic Edition, the Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer, was released exclusively in Japan on the same day, and includes a slightly different software line-up than its overseas counterpart.

The Mario games included in the console are as follows:
 * Donkey Kong
 * Donkey Kong Jr.
 * Dr. Mario
 * Mario Bros.
 * Super Mario Bros.
 * Super Mario Bros. 2
 * Super Mario Bros. 3

Upon the system's release, stores sold out of the NES Classic Edition almost immediately after they went up for sale. Nintendo has recognized this and stated there will be a "steady flow of additional systems through the holiday shopping season and into the new year." On April 2017, a Nintendo representative informed IGN that the system was being discontinued, and the final shipments would be sent out that month.

Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer
On September 29, 2016, Nintendo announced the Japanese version of the NES Classic Edition, the Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer. Similar to its overseas equivalent, it includes 30 pre-installed Family Computer games, although some of the games are different from those on the NES Classic Edition due to region exclusivity. While playing a game, players are able to save to up to four Restore Points at any time. It was released in Japan alongside the NES Classic Edition on November 10, 2016.

The Mario games included in the system are:
 * Donkey Kong
 * Dr. Mario
 * Mario Bros.
 * Mario Open Golf
 * Super Mario Bros.
 * Super Mario Bros. 3

It includes 21 pre-installed SNES titles, and like the original SNES, its physical design varies by region. Unlike its predecessor, the SNES Classic Edition now comes packaged with two Super NES Classic Edition controllers. Like the NES Classic Edition controller, the controller also features a connector similar to Wii Nunchucks. The SNES Classic Edition supports Wii Classic Controllers. It will be released in the Americas and Europe on September 29, 2017 and in Australia on September 30.

The Mario games included in the console are as follows:

Similar to the Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer, this version of the game will have slightly different game titles from the overseas release.

The Mario games included in the console are the same as those on the Super NES Classic Edition, with the addition of Panel de Pon, a title that was re-released as a Yoshi game outside of Japan under the name Tetris Attack.
