Nintendo Announces Super NES Classic Edition

Super NES Classic EditionFollowing up on last year's hard-to-find Nintendo Entertainment System mini console, Nintendo has just announced a Super NES counterpart.  The Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Edition is headed to stores in North America on September 29, 2017 with two controller and twenty-one built-in games including the never before released Star Fox 2 for $79.99.  It's probably already sold out.  Anyways, here are the included games according to the press release:

  • Contra III: The Alien Wars™
  • Donkey Kong Country™
  • EarthBound™
  • Final Fantasy III
  • F-ZERO™
  • Kirby™ Super Star
  • Kirby’s Dream Course™
  • The Legend of Zelda™: A Link to the Past™
  • Mega Man® X
  • Secret of Mana
  • Star Fox™
  • Star Fox™ 2
  • Street Fighter® II Turbo: Hyper Fighting
  • Super Castlevania IV™
  • Super Ghouls ’n Ghosts®
  • Super Mario Kart™
  • Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars™
  • Super Mario World™
  • Super Metroid™
  • Super Punch-Out!! ™
  • Yoshi’s Island™

You'll have to unlock Star Fox 2, by the way.  They didn't make it too difficult; you'll just need to complete the first level of the original Star Fox.  There are some solid classics on this list that will keep players busy for quite some time, and it's interesting how Nintendo learned from the success of the mini NES last year.  This SNES mini contains fewer games at a higher price, but it also comes with a second controller in the box and the included games are all gold.  No filler here and I see most of what I was hoping to find in this collection.  I look forward to trying to get one of this consoles later in the year, but after the trouble I had last year with the NES model, I'm not expecting to be able to get one.  I hope they manufacture enough of these to meet demand.  They have to know these will be in high demand, right?
