GameSpot editor Peter Brown opened up the NES Classic Edition and is giving gamers a look at what’s inside the device.

For those interested in some of the finer technical details, here’s a rundown of what’s inside:

– SoC: Allwinner R16 (4x Cortex A7, Mali400MP2 GPU)
– RAM: SKHynix (256MB DDR3)
– Flash: Spansion 512MB SLC NAND flash, TSOP48
– PMU: AXP223
