I've been playing the new $80 Super Nintendo Classic Edition for nearly a week, and it's a delight

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Edition is hella fun.

That's my considered take after playing games on the new retro game console since Friday, when Nintendo sent me one to test.

That the Super NES Classic is such fun may not be much of a surprise. The device is a remake of the 1990s video game console that was beloved by millions of people.

The new version, which arrives on September 29, is a tiny, $80 device that comes with 21 fittingly classic games packed right in. Unlike the original, you won't need to use any game cartridges; you just plug the system in and turn it on, and it's ready for action.
