SNES Classic Announced


Today, Nintendo has announced the release of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Edition, and it sounds dope as hell. Alongside that announcement was a list of 21 games that will be available for it as well, including the never-before-released Star Fox 2. No word as to how long you will have to stand in line for this baby, but it has been slated to release on September 29th of this year.


Here is what Nintendo has to say on their official site:

“The golden age of 16-bit gaming returns.

Yoshi, Samus, and the Star Fox crew are waiting for you to come and play.

The Super NES Classic Edition system has the original look and feel of the ’90s home console, only smaller. Plus, this one comes fully loaded with 21 games!

Two wired retro Super NESâ„¢ Classic Controllers are included for multiplayer gaming right out of the box.

Get your hands on some of the best 2-player games of the era, including Super Mario Kart and Street Fighter® II Turbo: Hyper Fighting.

The Super NES Classic Edition is compatible with the Classic Controllerâ„¢ and Classic Controller Proâ„¢ accessories. Just plug it in and play!”


Small, yet powerful. Just like your bestie bragged about in high school.

Here is a list of the 21 games that will be made available for the SNES Classic:

  • 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

Hopefully, we will be able to get one of these in our hands via a store before they are being sold for hundreds of dollars on Ebay.
