Eurogamer reports that sources claim Nintendo will launch a SNES Classic

149259681143.jpg

Eurogamer, a site known for having accurately leaked the Nintendo Switch, then known as the NX, far before the actual reveal, now is making another big claim. According to multiple "sources" close to Nintendo and Eurogamer, likely the same ones who gave them the same insider Switch information, Nintendo will be releasing a Super Nintendo Classic/Mini later on during the Christmas season this year. This report follows last week's announcement that Nintendo would be discontinuing the NES Classic, which launched during the Christmas season of last year. Eurogamer also confirms that production has already started on them as well. Of course, this should still be taken with a grain of salt, but Eurogamer is almost always on-point with leaks, having confirmed the existence of a PS4 Slim, as well as having multiple game industry sources that have confirmed other hardware leaks before.

Nintendo will follow up its smash hit NES microconsole with a mini version of the SNES, sources close to the company have confirmed to Eurogamer.

The SNES mini (or, to continue Nintendo's official branding, likely the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System) is currently scheduled to launch in time for Christmas this year. Development of the device is already under way, our sources have indicated.

It's sad how:

"You buy 1 you bought 10% of all stock that will exist."

"You can get a an actual Japanese/European SNES & Flash cart for cheaper."

are both true.

Not very nice of you, for that you deserve to be sent to a psych ward!

/joke :P

Hadn't read that you're deaf. I've had the experience to feel how it'd be to be deaf and it was horrible, think I'd rather just give up on life than live.

Would you buy one with 15 Nintendo games and have a shared eshop for third party and other titles?
Super Mario World, Yoshi's island, earthbound, Super Mario Kart, Super Metroid, etc.
A shame they stop selling wii/nes controller too.

Aw man I kind of want one of these too. Something tells me I'm not going to actually get one of these, same story as the NES mini.
This is giving me some kind of horrific visions of a future in which I break down and give some stupid scalper like $200 for a teeny tiny nintendo 64 with the podracing game on it. Hopefully if they make an n64 mini they don't put the podracing game on it so I can resist buying more stupid stuff I don't need.

The whole idea of mini consoles is too cute. Only nintendo's limited edition habits could make such a nightmare of something this cute.

I'll pass. I'm happy owning the original...might buy a flashcart for it. I could not locate a NES mini anywhere, so that's enough for me to let it go to the scalpers and their overpaying clients. Instead of buying the overpriced mini I bought a NES flashcart and a "72 pin win" adapter. I have an old TV that these units look great on.

This is what I was thinking, Nintendo has to have seen how easily the nes mini was modded, why not offer up a new console with the original 30 nes games, 30 snes games and a marketplace to purchase more games. wifi connectivity could be added without much added cost, its reasonable to think a system with wifi and an extra controller could be profitable at $100. They could workout licensing deals a lot easier with a % per purchase agreement and 99% of the population wouldn't bother hacking it and would buy the 10+ games they had when they were kids, easy money. It really does make sense (yes I know nintendo is, and has never been, concerned with making sense

I know its a stretch to think they'd do it but it fits in with the "strategy" of pulling the nes mini with demand still so high

I too will go back to my crying corner

What do you mean ? Being deaf is better than a blind or a blind and deaf. Deaf people can do anything that hearing can do but what they can't do is hear. That's simple. Nothing to be horrible about. Deaf people communicate through sign language and they can even read lips. They can dance through the vibrate feeling in the body. I don't think you understand what it is like to be deaf completely. A deaf person is normal just like hearing people except they cannot hear. Even I have a car and a motorcycle licence. What so horrible about it ?

Sure! I just like Euro SNES looking. It was the best console with stronger 3 party support in the past. Best memories! :D

Lusitano, don't talk to us like we're unintelligent. We speak a different language that's the only difference in our mental ability. Do you assume someone from Portugal or Japan is unintelligent just because they speak a different language? No, you don't. At least you shouldn't.

I understand why hearing people like you ask this. Music is an important part of many people's lives. It serves as an emotional catharsis, a way to connect to people, and their preferred form of art. Music is cool, I get it.

To some people, the inability to hear or appreciate music seems to be a deprivation of a fundamental aspect of humanity. To them, music is life, and the inability to experience music is the inability to live.

Well, I think you're taking things too seriously.

Deaf people appreciate music ... albeit differently.

People assume that hearing music is the only way to enjoy music. It's not.

Music is far more than just sound. It creates vibrations, has lyrics, and evokes feelings. Deaf people can experience those things on an equal footing.

Most of Deaf people love music. We will turn up the speakers to feel the beats and dance along as we read the lyrics. We feel and move with the music. You don't know anything.

Who's missing out? You tell me.

None of us ever gets to experience everything in life. Some of us never do drugs or drink. Others will never travel or appreciate food. Only a few will go skydiving. :teach:

It's not about not experiencing something; it's about appreciating what you do experience, however you choose to do it. :switch::grog:

But hey! Being deaf isn’t a bad thing and it is certainly not something to mourn – it’s wonderful being able to reach up and turn my hearing aids off and enter a realm of total silence when the kids are screaming, better believe me on that.:rofl2:

Pm me if you want..

Now lets get back to the topic, ok ? ;)
