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.

Why doesn't he just get two PAL SNES systems then? The USA SNES Classic looks pretty shitty and even if I grew up with that I'd grow out of liking it.

It's likely gonna follow the fate of the NES Mini. Nintendo will only produce a scant few thousand and all the scalpers buying them up and reselling them for 10x the price.

If that happens and I can't buy one because Nintendo in all their infinite wisdom refuse to produce enough to meet demand I will tear my hair out. I'd also do the same if AT BARE MINIMUM it omits Pokemon Stadium 2 and/or Starfox 64. Those games were the best.

So this is WHY they retired the NES classic edition! okay. And a NEVER "BEFORE SEEN" game. That alone makes it worthy (and since there are no ROMS from star fox 2, correct me if I am wrong) If the Switch din't dry my wallet, this won't either.

If $60 for an NES with 30 meh-to-great games and 1 one controller is good, then $80 for an SNES with 21 all-great games and 2 controllers is also good.

Hey, we are getting two. He is buying SNES USA version (To get tired of it and sell it on Ebay) and I am getting PAL SNES MINI for a keeper and a collector's item! :)

EDIT: Ok, ok. Just talked with my roommate and he is agreeing with you. So he is going to get PAL SNES MINI version as well. LOL! However, why two PAL SNES systems by then ? Sell one as brand new for the profit and keep one ?

I can't say I grew up with it since I was already in my 20's when the SNES came out. But I owned the US SNES (ended up with my brother). I now own 2 Super Famicoms and 1 Super Famicom Jr. Every other iteration of the SuFami besides the US gray block is a much better looking shell.

And speaking of shells, how much you wanna bet the hardware inside this SNES Classic is the same as last year's NES Classic? I give it at least 50/50 Nintendo just had whatever Chinese factory made the NES version last year crank out a bunch more of the same.

Then on top of that, try waiting in line to get one in the states? It doesn't hurt to try.

When I tried last November, Gamestops were getting 5-10 per store at launch. If they boost production and push that to 20-30, then they should be able to meet some of the initial demand.

I spent $60-80 each on imported SNES Wii Classic controllers. Now I'm about to get 2 free ones that come with the SNES Classic. Sigh. And if I wanted to resell them, the value now drops since Nintendo is about to flood the market with them.
