SNES Classic Is Coming

Coming in September is the Nintendo SNES Classic. The standalone mini console will feature 21 games, including Super Mario World, Earthbound, Super Mario Kart, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It will retail for $79.99, but, if supplies of the console are anything like its predecessor, the NES Classic, you can expect to pay upwards of $200. To be fair, Nintendo has promised to produce more of this console than it has of the previous one, but, time will tell.

Here's the full list of games that will come with the SNES Classic Edition:

• "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"

Personally, I'm not too terribly keen on having to slog through lines in Wal-Mart just to find out that some hoarder who had been up since 2am swooped in and took off with 8 consoles. Besides, the controllers are wired and the pre-installed titles are quite limited. Better to stick with an Android box with wireless controllers and an SNES emulator.
