NES Classic (MSRP $60)

A miniature throwback to the original NES, this console features the nostalgia of the 1980s with the hardware of 2022. It comes with 30 NES crowd favorites (full list below), a controller, an HDMI cable, and an AC adapter. Unfortunately, though Nintendo prices it at $60, it is sold out nearly everywhere, so it is expensive to buy online. If you’re going to dig around eBay or Craigslist, expect to shell out close to $250 or more.
