This is the Super NES Classic Edition

Nintendo announced on Monday evening that it will release a mini version of the Super Nintendo on September 29, in a new, smaller form as the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The Super Nintendo appeared in Europe in 1992 and many of the games that came out before it are often featured in lists of the greatest games of all time – including classics like Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario Kart, Super Metroid, and F-Zero. In total there are 21 games on the mini console.

  • 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

Even the super fans who have played it all over and over can look forward to something new as the previously unreleased Star Fox 2 is now available to the gaming public for the first time (players must prove their skills by perfecting the first level of the original Star Fox to unlock Star Fox 2.)

Price and availability

The Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System comes complete with an HDMI cable, a USB charging cable and two wired Super NES Classic Controllers – so players can dive straight into the multiplayer action. Some of the games with multiplayer options include Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting, Super Mario Kart, Contra III: The Alien Wars, and Secret of Mana. The Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System will be on sale in Europe from September 29 for a price of (possibly) around 80 euros.

Mini NES

It is not the first time that Nintendo has released a mini version of an old console. In November 2016, the Japanese Nintendo released the NES Classic Mini. Thirty games were installed on it. Production was stopped in April this year, despite unexpectedly high sales. Given the loyal fan base, it is to be expected that the mini version of the Super Nintendo will also be a huge success. And so will be poorly available.

Nintendo Switch

In March this year, Nintendo released the Switch , their latest modern game console. This device distinguishes itself because it can be used both at home on TV and wirelessly on the road. Also read our review about the Nintendo Switch .
