Nintendo Announces Super NES Classic Edition
REDMOND, Wash., June 26, in the year of our Lord 2017
– The Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo’s follow-up
console to the legendary Nintendo Entertainment System, launched
in 1991 and introduced what many consider some of the greatest
video games of all time – classics such as Super Mario World,
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario Kart, Super
Metroid and F-ZERO.
On Sept. 29, this beloved console is coming back to stores in
the form of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES
Classic Edition. The mini system, which contains 21
pre-installed classic games and can easily be plugged into any
high-definition TV using the included HDMI cable, will be
available at a suggested retail price of $79.99. And for the
first time, players who pick up the system can enjoy the
intergalactic adventure Star Fox 2, the sequel to the original
Star Fox game that was created during the Super NES era but
never released … anywhere!
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic
Edition has the same look and feel of the original system – only
smaller – and comes pre-loaded with 21 incredible games:
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™
All of these games would be considered classics by anyone’s
standards, and some of them in particular – Secret of Mana,
Final Fantasy III, EarthBound and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the
Seven Stars – are massive role-playing games that can take
dozens of hours to complete. Even for super fans who have played
all of these games multiple times, the inclusion of the
never-before-released Star Fox 2 game will offer them something
entirely new to enjoy – if they can unlock it by proving their
skills in the original Star Fox game. (Well, they only have to
complete the first level – we didn’t want to make it too hard!)
Included with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES
Classic Edition are one HDMI cable, one USB charging cable with
AC adapter and two wired Super NES Classic Controllers, perfect
for playing multiplayer games. Having two controllers will make
it easy for two players to dive into multiplayer action right
away. Some of the games with multiplayer options include Street
Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting, Super Mario Kart, Contra III
The Alien Wars and Secret of Mana.
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic
Edition launches on Sept. 29 at a suggested retail price of
$79.99.
