It's been rumored for some time now, but Nintendo has finally announced that they will be putting out a Super Nintendo Mini for this holiday season. It's official title (at least in America) is the Super NES Classic Edition. It will be coming out on September 29 and features 21 excellent games. Seriously, the line-up is killer, you can check it out below. Among many greats (Super Mario RPG, Super Metroid, EarthBound, etc.), is the never-before-released Starfox 2. It will retail for $79.99 and include the console (pre-loaded with 21 games), an AC adapter, an HDMI cord, and two controllers with 5 ft cords.
It's not a secret that Nintendo couldn't keep up with the NES Classic demand last year, so people are obviously skeptical about whether or not they'll even have an opportunity to pick the SNES Classic up. Nintendo have promised that they will produce more than the NES Classic, but your best chance at getting a hold of one without dropping a few hundred dollars is to pre-order as soon as it's an option. Europe and Japan are also getting their own version of the mini Super Nintendo, which feature form factors and color schemes to match the original console. If you're still not convinced that you want this console, check out the seriously amazing list of games below.
Stay tuned for more information on the Super NES Classic and how you might be able to claim one for yourself
