Though the salt wounds have not healed from the NES Classic being discontinued (and my eyes still have never laid on one) , Nintendo announced the successor, the SNES Classic! This rendition comes with less games, but it has some heavy hitters. Games on it include Super Mario World, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Mega Man X, Super Mario RPG, Earthbound, Star Fox and the unreleased Star Fox 2! It is missing Chrono Trigger, however, and I would probably put Kirby's Dream Land 3 on it, but this is a fantastic list of games with many amazing RPG's. And it's set to launch for $80 on September 29, days after my birthday.
This sounds good and all, but I'm worried about scalpers ruining the SNES Classic. They ruined the NES Classic, rigging the prices to $200-300 for a normally $60 console. I scoured all over town to find a NES Classic, but I never saw one in person, or console. So, I want Nintendo to handle this better than they did the NES Classic. Though it looks like it might receive the same fate as the NES Classic, I want Nintendo to market the SNES Classic better, like the Wii U to the Switch, ship out more consoles to stores, like Walmart and GameStop, actually listen to the fans, and provide more info on shipments on Twitter and Facebook.
I want this to do better than the NES Classic, though I may never recover from the wounds from that experience...
