Best Answer

No.

The NES classic is a single board computer that is emulating a NES and does not need to go into a low power state.

Nintendo presents the titles in their original format. Fortunately, it's not on the original hardware and no longer requires these certain steps to ensure data capture.

Why do you have to hold reset on NES?

Holding RESET allowed the NES to finish saving data before it is powered off. Holding RESET would send both the console and the cartridge into a low-power state, that would prevent power surges from damaging the battery when powering off (unlikely)

    Answer 2

    Although you can hold reset before turning the power off there is no need to. Your game is saved once that message pops up. However, hitting reset on the mini has something going for it that the original NES didn't. By hitting reset, you actually create a temporary save at the exact same location in the game as when you left it.

    This is important for Final Fantasy 1, because enemy encounters are always in a set path -- by resetting you restart this path. So if you want to run the full game without ever stopping, but you need to stop because sleep/food/just a break, you can keep the same game going by using the temp save feature. When you return, you can fight your next battle as though you'd never left.
