The Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo’s follow-up console to the legendary Nintendo Entertainment System, launched in 1991 and introduced what many consider some of the greatest video games of all time – classics such as Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario Kart, Super Metroid and F-ZERO.

On Sept. 29, this beloved console is coming back to stores in the form of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition. The mini system, which contains 21 pre-installed classic games and can easily be plugged into any high-definition TV using the included HDMI cable, will be available at a suggested retail price of $79.99. And for the first time, players who pick up the system can enjoy the intergalactic adventure Star Fox 2, the sequel to the original Star Fox game that was created during the Super NES era but never released … anywhere!

“While many people from around the world consider the Super NES to be one of the greatest video game systems ever made, many of our younger fans never had a chance to play it,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With the Super NES Classic Edition, new fans will be introduced to some of the best Nintendo games of all time, while longtime fans can relive some of their favorite retro classics with family and friends.”

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition has the same look and feel of the original system – only smaller – and comes pre-loaded with 21 incredible games:


    • 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
All of these games would be considered classics by anyone’s standards, and some of them in particular – Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy III, EarthBound and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars – are massive role-playing games that can take dozens of hours to complete. Even for super fans who have played all of these games multiple times, the inclusion of the never-before-released Star Fox 2 game will offer them something entirely new to enjoy – if they can unlock it by proving their skills in the original Star Fox game. (Well, they only have to complete the first level – we didn’t want to make it too hard!)

Included with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition are one HDMI cable, one USB charging cable with AC adapter and two wired Super NES Classic Controllers, perfect for playing multiplayer games. Having two controllers will make it easy for two players to dive into multiplayer action right away. 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.

*Note that an AC adapter for the USB cable is required to play the system but is not included in the packaging.

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition launches on Sept. 29 at a suggested retail price of $79.99.

Rumors has it that the game was already completed, but cancelled it because they didn't want it to compete against the 64 version.
Also, where are my Megaman X games?
And the all time classic: Lester the Unlikely

I used www.nowinstock.net to get an alert, so thankfully I was able to buy the damn thing in minute 1. ;) Nintendo Store UK sold out within 8 minutes.

Yeah, I went there too, and I was allowed to preorder it using my US address. Which is weird, because usually when it doesn't ship outside the UK, it would warn me, but it didn't so much as give an error. I assume the "does not ship to US" is an error? Surely, they wouldn't screw us over?

In their terms of sale it says "To purchase products from the Website you must be 18 years of age or older and a resident of the United Kingdom." - so I wouldn't count on them fulfilling the order unfortunately.

Nintendo UK store doesn't ship outside the UK. Won't even ship to Europe.

100% will cancel it when it comes to shipping if it's not a UK address.

Well, I see a lot of news to the contrary on various new sites and groups *shrug*. Allegedly the same was said about Amazon Germany as well. They shouldn't allow orders to go through if you're not in the UK.

Q Games founder has spoken about Star Fox 2 cancellation.
Something is that I did not understood, perhaps got lost in translation, as the article I just read was in Spanish.
Q Games founder said this:
"I didn't knew the whether the game was going to be released to the public or not. I SPENT TWO YEARS MAKING IT AND LOVED EACH SECOND. NOW PEOPLE WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO SEE THE LITTLE ADD ONS AND CHANGES WE MADE"
First: I'm on mobile, so I can't bold the important part, so I used capitals, please excuse me, I'm not yelling nor he did.

The thing I can't quite understand is the capital part...
He meant that the game he spent two years programming was the Star Fox 2 we all know? You know, the Rom we all can get.
Or he meant that he spent two years programming this possibly NEW completed version of Star Fox 2, just for the Super NES mini?

God, if AT Games gets their act together, they could swoop in and sell their new Genesis/Megadrive Classics with some tagline such as, "Does what Nintendon't... again" but their past consoles have burned the consumers several times with subpar products.
