The company commented on whether it can connect to the Internet (it can’t), whether it’ll get more games (nope), whether it can play old cartridges (won’t work!).

The official website is now open for the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition. Access it here. There’s not too much new aside from the announcement shared earlier this morning, but the page itself is neat.

There’s also this “Classics” logo at the bottom… and you know what that means: the speculation pot is already stirring. Could Nintendo opt to bring out more versions of its retro systems?

The 64DD was made as an expansion to the Nintendo 64, allowing the console to use more memory and offering a handful of exclusive games. It saw a brief run in Japan, but never headed overseas. That’s why a new find may end up being very interesting.

We’ll let you know if there are any other developments pertaining to the situation.
