If you’re a parent with kids who are obsessed with gaming, you’re probably familiar with Fortnite, right? It can be a struggle watching them glued to their screens, completely zoning out, even when you call them for dinner. But as the saying goes, “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.” And guess what? Our chance to join in the fun is just around the corner, as the Nintendo 64 Classic Edition is set to launch this month—cue the nostalgia!
Initial reports of the N64 Classic surfaced through Gaming Buzz, hinting at an official reveal during the upcoming Nintendo Direct press event. They noted, “We have received some insider tips regarding the N64 Classic Edition. While we haven’t previously verified this source, we have confidence in the credibility of this information based on our past successes.”
This news is particularly exciting, as chatter about this revived console has been buzzing for over a year, with leaked images hinting at its design. The Nintendo 64, which sold over 32 million units worldwide since its debut, holds a special place in many hearts. Personally, I must admit I clocked thousands of hours playing Super Mario 64 back in the day, and I’m itching to relive those memories. If these rumors are accurate, I’m asking for this console as my sole Christmas gift this year—after which I plan to let my kids dive in without any guidance and watch as I dominate them in their own game.
Rumor has it that the N64 Classic Edition will compete directly with Sony’s PlayStation Classic for the title of the most-desired holiday gift of 2018. And Gaming Buzz has also hinted at a few titles that may be included in the 30-game lineup: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, Puyo Puyo Sun 64 (which may not be available on all versions), and Banjo-Kazooie. Someone hold me!
