In the wake of the overwhelming success of NES Classic Edition, Nintendo has just announced a follow-up to the popular micro-console: the Super NES Classic Edition has finally been unveiled. For $79.99 USD ($99.99 CAD), you can obtain this hardware starting on September 29th 2017 in both North America and Europe/UK, with 21 games!
Here's what you get with the SNES Classic Edition:
And here are the games:
In case you're interested getting one, Nintendo will produce significantly more SNES Classic Edition units than the NES ones did. The company also stated that it'll keep shipping those SNES Classic Editions until the end of 2017. Better get one ASAP if you want it!
I'm happy with the games that we'll be getting. The entire library covers a wide range of genres, and most of the games are really great. However, I can't help but notice some glaring omissions. Where's ActRaiser, Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country 2, SimCity, Super Mario All-Stars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time, and Tetris Attack?
I'm also wondering what version of Star Fox 2 will get... Dylan Cuthbert said he was playing the official finished version of the game while developing Star Fox Command, which currently isn't found in the Internet. It might be that particular version that's going to be released on SNES Classic Edition, which had some fixes that the near-final version lacked.
