Commodore 64 Joins Retro-Gaming Revival with C64 Mini

With every 80’s kid going crazy over Nintendo’s NES classic and SNES mini, it is hard for other vintage gaming consoles to not take notice. Even ATARI is also working on a new console and a major return to the market. Now, Commodore 64 is joining in the nostalgia remake bandwagon with the C64 Mini.

Commoder 64 Games Included

The C64 mini shrinks the Commodore 64 to about half the size, but it packs 64 games inside. This includes:

The C64 mini connects to a modern widescreen television through an HDMI connector. It also has two USB ports which allows for firmware updating. Of course, gaming is not the only thing the C64 can do. Users can also program their own games and run BASIC just like the full-size original. That is what sets this console apart, as it might be able to attract some of the DIY homebrew types.

Pricing and Availability

There is no definite release date set yet, however it will be out sometime in 2018. It seems to have a fair price tag too at $69.99 USD, which includes one joystick and HDMI cable.
