Nintendo Announces SNES Classic for This Fall, Has 21 Games

[Breakdown]

I never realised that the The American version of the SNES was so ugly

 

[bjj hero]

This has me excited. Will it get an EU release?

How will you do secret of mana 3 player?

 

[Worgen]

Hmm... yeah, ok, I'm interested. Although the price is pretty high and it could use FF2 and Breath of Fire 2, but as it is, that is a pretty solid group of games.

 

[MonsterCrit]

Oh goodie. Another system they will produce in absurdkly limited quantities and then cancel production off.
Seriously. We saw how this played out with the NES classic. IS there any reason to believe this won't happen again.

 

[Poetic Nova]

No Donkey Kong, although Star Fox 2 made it. Too bad they will probably limit production again.

 

[PureChaos]

If they made it so there was a large catalogue of games and you could download the 21 games you wanted I probably would get one but seeing as the games it comes with I either have already or aren't that fussed about I'll probably give it a miss

Snip

...That wasn't what I asked. I asked if you knew for certain that this was FF III as it was known back in the 90s, because they haven't been using that outdated name for awhile. Because if they have gone back to it, that's fucking stupid.

Its a nostalgia collection, they use the names associated with that system an timeframe. Noticably they didn't list Earthbound as Mother 2 or Secret of Mana as Seiken Densetsu 2 either.

Also Final Fantasy 3 (Japan) was NES/Famicom title, not on the Super variants.

Probably the same way you did in the 90's.

Not gonna lie, I'm seriously considering getting one of these, provided I can actually get my hands on one. SNES titles have generally aged far better than NES ones, and, while there's a smaller lineup this time around, it's still a damn impressive one. Plus, we'll finally be able to play a finished version of Star Fox 2. I just wish Donkey Kong Country 2 and Chrono Trigger were included. Also, they'd better make the controller cables longer than two feet this time around.

Having said that, it's probably a moot point given that Nintendo won't make enough units to meet demand, and I'm not going to pay hundreds more to get it from scalpers.

Sums up my thoughts. I'm just surprised we're getting Kirby's Dream Course. I always felt that game was criminally underrated.

No Donkey Kong, although Star Fox 2 made it. Too bad they will probably limit production again.

Donkey Kong Country is listed as one of the games.

 

[Bad Jim]

They are missing so much that its not funny. I mean I am most surprised Chrono Trigger is not in this list.

In fairness, there were thousands of SNES games and hundreds of really good ones. There would be a long list of missing classics no matter what.

 

[mxfox408]

Ill buy 10 and sell the for 300% markup like everyone else......gotta love capitalism

 

[FalloutJack]

I will quote The Grand Tour, by way of comment:

"I have launch control."

"I don't care."

 

[American Fox]

No Chrono Trigger

No Smash TV

I wouldn't buy that for a dollar.

 

[Gordon_4_v1legacy]

Not enough games for my money. And why does it look so damn weird?

 

[Vausch]

Question: Is this the Super Mario World from the All Stars version with the unique Luigi sprite? Cuz I want that one.

 

[Dalisclock]

I'm suprised Earthbound is on the list, considering how little attention it got when it came out and I think now is more of a cult classic that most people aren't familiar with.

That being said, I'm surprised Chrono Trigger is not on that list, considering it's considered one of the best JRPG's of all times, and possibly the best of that era.

 

[Naldan]

What!? No Terranigma? No Secret of Evermore? No Soul Blazer? No Act Raiser? No Illusion of Gaia? No Tales of Phantasia?

(Though I wonder if the Japanese get the last one)

I'm quite happy about the line-up. IMO, they could have been pushing the RPG department a bit more, because that is what, again in my opinion, that is what made the SNES legendary for me, but whatever. And yes, I didn't play ToP until I could emulate it.

I will buy this. Hopefully, we won't get the dull NA one with those purple buttons which look like repro.

But yes, Chrono Trigger should have been on there for its popularity alone. And because it's very good.


Terranigma still is the best game on the system.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Star Fox 2? Really?

...Now Im interested.

Yep, over twenty years after it was cancelled and just over fifteen after the complete ROM was 'accidentally' leaked onto the internet, Starfox 2 is getting it's official release.

I am actually tmepted to buy one of these things just to have an official version of Starfox 2 and finally appease eight year old me.

Nintendo are truly inscrutable sometimes.

 

[fix-the-spade]

That being said, I'm surprised Chrono Trigger is not on that list, considering it's considered one of the best JRPG's of all times, and possibly the best of that era.

Chrono Trigger's absence can be explained with a single word, which must be shouted loudly whilst shaking your fist at the sky.

Squenix!

With a tribal tap and an extra snes controller? Good luck sourcing them in 2017.
