Not that you needed any further convincing to buy it or anything, but here’s the first promotional video for Nintendo’s new NES Classic Edition

The mini-sized console hit the internet a week ago, causing everyone who ever owned an NES to simultaneously scream, “Shut up, and take my money!”

Even if you could emulate all of the 30 games included with the system for free, you still wouldn’t have a teeny NES in your house. For $59.99, we think it’s a steal. It’ll be out on Nov. 11, so if you’re thinking about holiday gifts, this one ought to be obvious. Now you’re playing with power (again)!
