The hottest gift this holiday season is the NES Classic Edition, a video game system that Nintendo created by jamming a USB cable directly into my brain and downloading my childhood.
The NES Classic Edition contains 30 timeless games from the Nintendo Entertainment System’s heyday. And if I don’t get one for Christmas, I will probably weep inconsolably into my Super Mario Bros. cereal and then hide under my Triforce blankets for at least a week.
I have intense brand loyalty to only a handful of companies, of which Nintendo and Disney World are two. And even though Universal is getting Nintendo Land, I can still look forward to Nintendo’s next product launch:
The WDW Classic Edition

Best post in a long time guys.
Was laughing whole way through.
Loved all the disney park geek jokes, and had added pleasure trying to identify all the games used for pictures.
A little scared at implication not everyone in comments got this was a joke, but oh well.
Still great stuff!
Yeah, it wasn’t even intended to fool people. I thought it would just be a fun way to discuss lost Disney attractions! But it seems like people really love the idea of this.
I would buy it just for the console.
It does make a nice display piece!
Parody, Shmarody. I want this. Make it happen or I will pout until they bring back Dreamfinder.
As always, we accept donations in the several thousand dollar range. Contribute enough and we can make it happen!
Wow, It doesn’t include Adventures In The Magic Kingdom. You’d think it should.
As a proud owner of Adventures in the Magic Kingdom, I can tell you that it contains levels based on Big Thunder, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Since none of those attractions are extinct, it’s easy to see why a WDW Classic Edition would not include that game.
So cool! Do you know if the regular nintendo classic games can be bought and played on it?
Sorry to say, the post was more of an imagining of “What if?” and unfortunately this is not an actual Nintendo product. We can dream though!
Is it true that at random times in any of the games, you might see 2 guys wearing orange hats run across the screen, and if you are able to catch them, guys in white coats put straight jackets on them and take them away?
This is a hidden mini-game! Gamer tip: the only way to catch them is to wait until they have to board an awkward kiddie ride together. Then you can catch them simultaneously.
Where can I buy this?
Hi Barbara! Sorry if the post was too misleading! It was intended to be a parody of sorts, highlighting what old Disney attractions might look like if they existed on the NES. For now, it’s only available to purchase in your imagination!
Still……where can I buy this!!!!!
