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.

Can't wait until we can't use something like HackChi too install all other SNES titles on it!

Provided Nintendo left a vulnerability in the system, much less a USB port, but it's hard to say if they've learned their lesson or not.

Yep, this happened due to the drama with the amiibos.

Now the other stores need to follow suit.

Amazon does, ShopTo does, I think Smyth does and GAME? Not entirely sure.

I read that a customer last year bought 10 Classic NES units from the UK retailer Tesco and everything went fine.

Which I think is a douche move on that customer's part.

It's one thing to buy one but ten? I'd never do that, at least not in store.

Right, so hopefully more stores enforce it, not sure why that store you mentioned didn't restrict that.

It's not too likely, but he could have bought them for legitimate reasons...

Maybe he bought them as gifts for family... you never know...

Unfortunately, the 1 per person limit is going to make it extremely difficult for people who actually want to get multiple systems for birthdays and holidays...

Nintendo is definitely unable to handle the mass demand there is for the SNES Classic. Nintendo Store UK had it available for pre-order and it didn't even last an hour.

It's available on Amazon UK and with shipping to US @ https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073BVHY3F

Where the FUCK is Chronno Trigger?
Ah, forgot that Square Enix ain't friends with Nintendo.

And, obviously, Donkey Kong Country 2 is missing.
And I would've changed Dream Course for Dreamland 3.

Aside all that, it has one game never released before which is more valuable overall.
