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.
