Last summer, Nintendo unveiled the NES Classic Edition (or "Classic Mini") - a modernized, miniaturized version of its beloved NES console of yesteryear. It went on sale in November, and since then, over 1.5 million have been sold in various markets around the world.
However, if youve been trying to buy one, youll probably be aware that they seem to be rarer than rocking-horse poo, quickly selling out at any store that manages to get new stock. But now is your chance to get your hands on this bundle of retro-gaming goodness, as were giving away a NES Classic Edition to one of our readers!
Unlike the original, the NES Classic Edition doesnt rely on chunky cartridges for its games; instead, it comes with 30 of the consoles most-loved games pre-installed:
