I. Must. Get. This.

Not that I will. In fact, I doubt it'll get to the point that it'd enter my sphere of collecting, ie, "how little could I pay for I?"

It's a much better collection than the NES classic even if it's missing Tetris Attack... wait, did Nintendo fully loose the rights to Killer Instinct? Still, there's a whole list of "I can't believe they left off this game" or rather, while its possible to pin the NES down to 30, the SNES is a bit more complicated. Or else 21 isn't just large enough.

Knowing Nintendo's supply, I'll never be able to get one. *sigh*

You Americans won't get to play the best SNES game again xD
it's Terranigma, never heard of it? It was only released in Japan and Europe and is the best SNES game together with Zelda ALttP and Super Metroid.

Now this I would like to buy, assuming I'm able to. I owned a lot of these games (8 of them, to be exact), and some like Link to the Past and Super Metroid are among my favorite console games ever, but my SNES went kaput several years ago so I haven't been able to play any of them in a very, very long time (not without emulators, anyway, but that's not really the same).

It looks like Nintendo also said in their press briefing that they plan to ship "significantly" more units of this than they did with the NES classic.

While it is a very good selection, the fact that Chrono Trigger is missing gives me a sad. Crying or Very sad

Also, I find it strange that they didn't include Pilotwings or Illusion of Gaia, as those were pretty high-profile titles at the time. Sim City I can kind of understand due to licensing issues with Maxis.

Okay, Donkey Kong Country, but not its sequel? That was such a big jump, and on my short list for the best games ever made. Either way I doubt I'd get the thing unless there are waaaaymore units available. The Virtual Console seems like a much better deal.

Secret of Mana over Chrono Trigger? You have got to be kidding. Mana is a great game, sure, but few games on the SNES are better than CT. I can only hope Square Enix held it back because they're finally planning to do something with it, but it's still an annoying exclusion.

Not that I'll ever find one of these in stores. I didn't see so much as an NES Classic accessory before.

My first SNES came with a single cartridge of Super Mario All Stars with Super Mario World. That should be the first two games on this list.

My second SNES, the revamped mini version, came with Super Mario World II. Consoles actually came with games back then, exclusive ones even, what happened since then? Oh right, Sony. "We don't make games, we just take them."

You know, I think that pin of Hachiman is making my comments more sarcastic than normal...

My PS4 that I bought not too long ago came with Uncharted 4. Neutral

They mean Final Fantasy VI.


Still disappointing that there is no Chrono Trigger.

The lineup is still pretty good.

No Chrono Trigger, no sale.
