Nintendo has revealed details for the SNES Classic. The standalone mini console will feature 21 games, including Super Mario World, Earthbound, Super Mario Kart, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. But the most surprising inclusion is Star Fox 2, the unreleased sequel to the original Star Fox for SNES.

The Super NES Classic Edition will launch on September 29th for $79.99. Like its predecessor the NES Classic, it will allow players to easily play retro games on high-definition televisions, thanks to an HDMI connection.

The full list of games included on the SNES Classic follows:

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

The Super NES Classic is Nintendo’s follow-up to the NES Classic, which launched in fall 2016. The console was notoriously difficult to find due to limited stock, and was discontinued earlier this year.

Not really. For $80 you might be able to get a complete console and one or two of the games on that list

Look at this for example, a console with SMW going for what will probably be over $100 when the auction is finished:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPER-NINTENDO-SUPER-NES-SUPER-SET-CONSOLE-IN-BOX-TESTED-SUPER-MARIO-WORLD-GAME-/282532203092


I know it isn't the cheapest deal available, but the fact people are willing to pay that much for this shows that you are really underestimating the value of a real SNES and games

Yeah, even if you assume the entire cost goes into the 21 games, that still comes out to about $4/game. But since a good chunk of that cost goes into the console itself, the price per game comes out even better than that. It's a very good deal.

honestly, i hope they do too (break even tho? i could just return it for full price if that were to have to happen, but even then)

nintendo needs to stop underproducing their shit that they know people want

they purposely don't manufacture enough shit

Well for one I was hoping for FF 4, 5, or 6. Maybe Chrono Trigger.

Also, I'm not saying it's bad. It just wasn't what I had my hopes up for.

Isn't FF3 really FF6?

I was hoping for a bigger selection as well but there's some gold for what's there. Too bad I already have a lot of those games and my old working console. Still might be interested.

6 is included, it's called FF III on the Super Nintendo.

But yes, no Chrono Trigger = no deal for me

Good candidates includes Harvest Moon, Secret of Evermore, Turtles in Time, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Actraiser, Sunset Riders, Final Fight, EVO, Breath of Fire. Then one of the Mortal Kombat and Super Bomberman games. The SNES was one of the greatest systems ever, 21 games is an absolute joke TBH.

you want more games that aren't of the best quality, rather than just having a smaller selection of actual good games

that's literally what quantity over quality means

I always thought the games were built into the system, like the NES classic, so there's no slots for actual cartridges

actual carts, no

but with the NES mini, it was hacked pretty quickly, allowing you to add more games to it.

I was really looking forward to the SNES mini, unlike NES I just plain missed out on a lot of SNES games. But $80 for 21 games, half of which I probably am not even interested in, is just too much.

EDIT:

Contra III: The Alien Wars
Donkey Kong Country
EarthBound
Final Fantasy III

F-ZERO
Kirby Super Star
Kirby%u2019s 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 %u2019n Ghosts
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Super Mario World

Super Metroid

Super Punch-Out!!
Yoshi%u2019s Island

Bolded the games I'd actually want to play, and of those, the ones in italics I already have played. Pretty disappointing/small lineup. :(

I don't know if the technology is there for a GC one yet. Maybe it is, but I don't imagine Nintendo is interested in pursuing something like that on their own.


Hell, I kind of doubt we'll even see one for N64. It had a smaller library of "classic" games compared to the NES and SNES, and that gets even more dubious when you factor in the Rare games that they probably wouldn't be able to get rights to.

I mean, Star Fox 2. Still probably not going to bother getting one, but I'm pretty happy that they're including the previously unreleased Star Fox 2.

(Of course, they've probably just downloaded a hacked ROM off the internet again, but still.)

That is a tough one, especially when Rare already released a game collection for the Xbox One...

But let's look at potential N64 games:

Super Mario 64
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Zelda: Majora's Mask
Super Smash Bros.
Mario Kart 64
Kirby 64
Bomberman 64
Donkey Kong 64
Diddy Kong Racing
Dr. Mario 64
F-Zero X
Mario Golf
Mario Party 1
Mario Party 2
Mario Party 3
Mario Tennis
Paper Mario
Pokemon Stadium 1
Pokemon Stadium 2
Pokemon Snap
Pokemon Puzzle League
Star Fox 64
Yoshi's Story
1080 Snowboarding

Then we have games such as these which might not make it for various reasons:

GoldenEye 007
Harvest Moon 64
Mega Man Legends
Ogre Battle 64
Rocket: Robot On Wheels
Etc.

They have enough games to make a N64 classic, but the selection won't be as good as the SNES classic. (Which is missing some popular games such as Chrono...)

The Wii is easy to hack. He should have just said PC since that's where you'd be getting the ROMs anyway.

Seems really sweet. I love my SNES but it's old and finnicky and some of my game carts have dying batteries and don't store save data properly anymore.

The SNES port was pretty bad compared to the Arcade version though.

I would agree with you if you said Final Fight 2 or 3 though, both of them are great games.

edit: Actually, Turtles in Time is probably the "iconic" beat-em-up for the SNES actually.
