Nintendo’s SNES Classic will come with 21 legendary games, from Super Mario World to Donkey Kong Country
Set to hit store shelves in September, Nintendo’s Super NES Classic Edition will once again see nostalgic gamers fighting to get their hands on some iconic hardware and software
The Japanese game maker behind a range of iconic international franchises will offer customers 21 titles (including the never-before-released shooter game Star Fox 2) in all with the mini Super NES Classic Edition, together with two controllers. The retro gaming console will cost US$80 and is expected to hit store shelves on September 29.
Nintendo’s announcement follows the release last year of the mini NES console, which has since been discontinued. During that console’s brief manufacturing run, consumer demand outstripped Nintendo’s ability to supply the consoles.
