Nintendo Confirms Mini SNES Classic Edition, Releasing in September

It is confirmed: a miniature SNES Classic Edition will launch this year, as reported by Nintendo. This is exceedingly good news for those who failed to cop their NES Classic Edition after news of the platform’s discontinuation.

The standalone mini console will contain 21 games, including masterworks such as Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Yoshi’s Island, and Earthbound, to name a few. The biggest shocker however is the inclusion of Star Fox 2, the unreleased sequel to the original Star Fox for SNES.

The Super SNES Classic Edition will allow players to play these retro games on high-def televisions just like its predecessor and connects via HDMI. There is also a Europe-only SNES Classic being released sharing the aesthetic of the Japanese SNES design.

Here is a full list of games available on the mini console.

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
