The Mini NES is set to be released on November 11, 2016 and will retail at $60. The console will come packed full of 30 classic Nintendo games and come with one classic NES controller.

If you want to play with a friend, Nintendo has you covered, because two player co-op is possible in the games that support it. You will, however, need to purchase a second controller which will be priced at $10. If you already own a Nintendo Classic Controller or a Classic Controller Pro, both will be compatible with the Mini NES.

The games included in the Mini NES are:

Balloon Fight
Bubble Bobble
Castlevania
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
Double Dragon II: The Revenge
Dr. Mario
Excitebike
Final Fantasy
Galaga
Ghosts N’ Goblins
