Nintendo announced today that this November they'll be releasing a mini version of their original NES Console! The console is almost identical to it's original 1985 North American form, except for of course it's size, an HDMI port, and two updated controller ports. The controller is the exact dimensions and button layout of it's first predecessor, better yet, the controller plugs into a Wii Remote for Virtual Console games (works with Wii and Wii U)! The initial purchase comes with one controller, but if you want to play with a friend, Nintendo is selling a stand alone for $9.99. The main question is, how much is the initial purchase and what does it come with? Nintendo set the retail price at $59.99, and the bundle comes with the NES Classic Edition, one NES Controller, a HDMI cable, an AC adapter, and 30 pre-installed games!
Here's the list of games: 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, GRADIUS, Ice Climber, Kid Icarus, Kirby's Adventure, Mario Bros., MEGA MAN 2, Metroid, NINJA GAIDEN, PAC-MAN, Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream, StarTropics, SUPER C, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, TECMO BOWL, The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

Coming this winter, SEGA and kidrobot are bringing us two lines of blind boxes and a Sonic the Hedgehog Medium Figure. It's safe to assume they'll give us the standard Dunny and Munny sized figures in blind boxes and 1.5" keychain blind boxes. Sonic the Hedgehog hold a very special place in my heart, I can't wait for this series! Make sure to check in with their socials to stay up to date on a release!

Exploding Kittens on Kickstarter was officially funded last night, surpassing their goal and finishing with an amazing 87,825% ( $8,782,571 pledged! ), making them #3 on Kickstarter's most funded page! Elan Lee and his friends did something a little different than most Kickstarter campaigns. Not only was Exploding Kittens an original game, they decided to only open 4 reward tiers and mainly only focused on the first two. Elan and his pals didn't fuss with t-shirts, key chains, and other gimmicky merchandise. Don't get me wrong, fanboys love stuff like that ( including me), but they wanted to focus on getting the game polished and finished by the end of the campaign. Less stuff to make resulting in getting Exploding Kittens delivered faster to the public. Instead of doing traditional stretch goals, the EK team started achievements, this got people excited with social media hype and brought some fun and originality to internet-land. During the last 3 days of the campaign Matt Inman ( the game's illustrator ) took requests via Kickstarter's comment section, he illustrated amazingly crude images of fans, cats and other nonsense. During the final days a Twitter drinking game was invented, they had pizza parties at animal shelters, and finished the final hour countdown with a Reddit AMA. Elan Lee, Matt Inman, and Shane Small did something special here and I can't wait to get my hands on one of these decks, game night at my house! "I'll bring the beers ... I'll bring the beers."
