The NES Classic Edition launches on November 11, so it's only fitting that Nintendo doubles down on nostalgia with the return of their beloved Game Counselors. While you won't be able to talk directly to the likes of Brian Downey and Jerry Hicks, pictured below, you can call and get some pre-recorded hints and behind-the scenes stories from the counselors from November 11 to November 13, from 6:00am to 7:00pm Pacific Time each day.
Nintendo's full description:
While playing one of the 30 great NES games included on the NES Classic Edition during the weekend following the Friday launch, you might find yourself puzzled by some of the more challenging games. (“How do I find the first Warp Whistle in Super Mario Bros. 3?” you might ask yourself.) If your memories of the original games fail you, no need to fret. You can just call the Power Line, which will return and run from Nov. 11 to Nov. 13, between the hours of 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. PT each day. The original Power Line was a beloved service in the ’80s that connected fans to Nintendo Game Play Counselors who offered helpful tips and tricks. In this fully automated version, you can use your real-life phone (bonus points if it has a cord!) to dial (425) 885-7529 to hear recorded tips for several games, plus behind-the-scenes stories from original Nintendo Game Play Counselors. You never know what you might learn!
