The New Old Nintendo NES Classic

This mini game console is so hard to find, but impossible to not want.

Sixty dollars, a small amount of money for some, and for college students, they often blow that amount in a very short time over things that are far less than necessary.

Not that the new Nintendo NES Classic is necessary, but while competitive gaming consoles including Xbox and PlayStation easily and without question go for hundreds of dollars, the renovated game based on Nintendo's first console but smaller would be a really good deal.

Finding this console right now is pretty hard to do, but it is going for 3,999 dollars on Ebay. Pocket change, right? You can plug it into a laptop, console, or TV with a USB port. The system only comes with one controller, but is made for two.

The system is programmed with 30 games, so you don't have to worry about losing the cartridges. This means, however, that the console will only ever have 30 games since it is such a small console, smaller than the original cartridges used. The games are a better quality look of the original games ones used to play. While some of the millennials won't remember the original games or system, those with older siblings or parents that saved the system would know the greatness but low quality of the look of the videos. The included games will be great throwbacks for some, here is the list:

  • 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

If you think you want one, good luck finding it! This is most likely going to be the hardest, if not impossible, present to get this holiday season. It's a good deal in some people's eyes because of its cheap cost and already included games. Unlike most plug-and-plays, the quality is great, something often not found or even heard of with recent types from other brands.

Be on the look out if you aim to grab this as soon as you can. If not, you'll probably have to wait until the Spring to be able to get it. This just might be the have to have thing of 2017, because it's cheap and small, but a great throwback. Since most of the consoles that the NES Classic is based off of have either stopped working or might not work as well, people have been grabbing it to play their old favorites. This will probably make new favorites for some who have never had the pleasure of playing the old Nintendo games. Just be ready to share!

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
