Nintendo says it’s bringing back the wildly popular system that launched in the 1980s so those who grew up with it can pass gaming memories onto the next generation.

The device looks almost exactly like the original NES, but smaller. It will be able to hook up directly to high-definition TVs.

The system goes on sale on Nov. 11. Redmond, Wash.-based Nintendo of America says it will retail for $59.99.
