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.

We can't wait for Super Nintendo Mini (Euro) order to ship in America. Europe/Japan version is beautiful than an ugly American version.

 

[Liriel]

yes the us version is ugly but you have a power adapter in it!
that is not in the eu version!

the us version has some other games in it

What? It has the exact sames games as the US, in fact, they're the NTSC versions. The Super Famicom Mini has a drastically different list.

NOA designer Lance Barr was the one who made that stupid design choice lol.

 

[Liriel]

ah ok i thought i heard that some others in us are

 

[Kioku]

Am I the only one that likes the US design.

 

[the_randomizer]

Am I the only one that likes the US design.

The whole premise was to make it look less "toy-like" according to an interview. I like the SFC/EU design better, in fact, I'm getting the EU design from Amazon UK, supposed to ship either tomorrow or Thursday But I'm on the fence on whether or not I should get a second one to send to my sister as a surprise.

 

[Purplstuph]

My province cant even sell one because of some dumb translation law...

 

[Liriel]

i think the us version looks more like a toy

 

[Glyptofane]

Nice, have fun !

I like the US console just fine. But the multi-colored controllers in JP/EU are far superior to shades of purple.

 

[Ceuse]

Just got mine. Eu console is inferior to us in terms of content though :
No power adapter
No glossy manual and poster

But its alot prettior but thats probably just my nostalgia ;-)

The colorful system and controllers make up for that.
