Not surprised by the announcement.  However, I am surprised by Star Fox 2. 

Great line up. 

Like the NES Classic, I will buy one as long as I can get it at MSRP without waiting in line. 

[segamer]

It's nice that Star Fox 2 is getting an official release.

[AlveinHero]

The SNES Classic Edition has only 21 games.

EDIT: Never mind.

[Hesch]

That's what this is...?

This is the SNES classic. I listed what games it comes with...

[monjici]

Looking forward to play SF2 
I'm wondering how different it is from the ROM that is going around since two decades.

[SegaNomadman]

Hopefully I'll be able to get to one before the scalpers swarm the stores... (also maybe everyone's attention will shift away from the NES Classic and I'll be able to get one for near retail price!)

Solid line up of games there, but the list of A class snes titles means that there will always be something missing.  No Star Wars trilogy, uni rally, rock n roll racing,  axelay, gradius 3, un squadron, blah blah blah.  The eu release looks gorgeous, and I will definitely be looking to get my hands on one.  I fear though that after the success of the nes mini, this ones going to be even harder to get.

This is a great lineup of games! I was gonna post about this earlier but I was busy.
I will definitely try to get my hands on one or two of these.

The SNES Classic Edition has only 21 games. yes, it has Star Fox 2. but, here is a list of games that we don't get in the SNES Classic Edition.

Breath of Fire
Breath of Fire II
Castlevania Dracula X
Chrono Trigger
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble
Final Fantasy II/IV
Kirby's Dream Land 3
Mega Man 7
Mega Man X2
Mega Man X3
Super Mario All-Stars
Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers

And your point is?... I hate to be an ass, but you're complaining that the system won't have enough great games on it already? That's pretty sad.

You can emulate the SNES on just about anything these days. If you're looking for a bigger game selection just set yourself up with a Rasberry Pi with Retropie. I see this as more of a collectible for gamers rather than a serious gaming system.

Here's hoping I'm able to track one down this time!

I was thinking those controller ports were fake, and this picture of the Japanese version confirms it:



Looks like it uses Wii ports again, which is cool. and to be expected. Finally an offical way to get the Club Nintendo controller in the US!

For those that don't know, the PAL version looks the same as the Japanese, only with the SNES logo replacing the Super Famicom logo, on the system and controllers. The Japanese mini comes out a little later, on Oct 5th.

Here's the link to the Japanese announcent on Nintendo of Japan's website: bit.ly/2tdkQCr

They even have box art for Star Fox 2:



The PAL territory lineup is the same as the US, but Japan's is a bit different:

1. Contra III: The Alien Wars
2. Donkey Kong Country
3. Final Fantasy VI (AKA III)
4. Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem
5. F-Zero
6. Kirby Super Star
7. The Legend of the Mystical Ninja
8. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
9. Mega Man X
10. Panel De Pon (Tetris Attack)
11. Secret of Mana
12. Star Fox
13. Star Fox 2
14. Super Ghouls ’n Ghosts
15. Super Mario Kart
16. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
17. Super Mario World
18. Super Metroid
19. Super Soccer
20. Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
21. Yoshi’s Island

That means it has 5 exclusives, only one of which not released for the SNES in the US or Europe:
1. Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem
2. The Legend of the Mystical Ninja
3. Panel De Pon
4. Super Soccer
5. Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers

Replacing EarthBound, Kirby's Dream Course, Street Fighter II Turbo, Super Castlevania IV and Super Punch-Out!!

Who fucking cares what OTHER games are on it?!  

The final version of Star Fox 2 has never seen the light of day. Anywhere. We've all been playing an incomplete version for years now. I just want that damned rom. I don't even care about the stupid little console, but I'll buy it to playSF2, for sure.


On a side note, that box art is ugly as fuck.

Very true. I wonder if they stole the fan translation?

Also on the box art, you know that they have to copy the original boxes, though the US never had that NES-esqe 90s red banner across the top. Anyway, yet another reason why Japan wins:

I kinda like that box art...  

Also, I'm hoping that this version of Star Fox 2 is released on the Switch's virtual console. And hopefully this thing's release doesn't de-prioritize Virtual console. I still want to download classics on my modern console! I don't want to be confined to 21 games on a mini console that's harder to find than bigfoot doing the limbo in Antarctica.

No. It's okay. I'll get it when it comes out.

Don't worry. They'll find the way to dump the ROM itself.
