As was widely assumed in light of the success of the now-discontinued NES Classic Edition, Nintendo today confirmed a similar system featuring games for the Super Nintendo. It launches on September 29 in the United States and Europe.The Super NES Classic Edition features a total of 21 games, including some huge names--EarthBound, Donkey Kong Country, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Super Mario World are among those included. But most notable of all is the inclusion of a game--Star Fox 2--that was famously never released. Here`s the complete list:Contra III: The Alien WarsDonkey Kong CountryEarthBoundFinal Fantasy IIIF-ZeroKirby Super StarKirby`s Dream CourseThe Legend of Zelda: A Link to the PastMega Man XSecret of ManaStar FoxStar Fox 2Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper FightingSuper Castlevania IVSuper Ghouls `n GhostsSuper Mario KartSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven StarsSuper Mario WorldSuper MetroidSuper Punch-OutYoshi`s IslandAs with the NES Classic Edition, the SNES Classic features HDMI output and resembles the look of the system it`s based on but in a smaller form factor. But unlike that system, it comes with two controllers in the box.In the US, the SNES Classic is priced at $80 and includes everything you`ll need. We don`t yet have European pricing, but we do know that the EU version lacks an AC adapter for the included USB power cable. It does, however, feature colored, Super Famicom-style buttons, as pictured below. We`ll report back as we receive more details.
