How do will be able to I buy one though? If you were able to get an NES Mini, how did you do it?
Pre-order? Waiting list? Kill a guy?
The inclusion of Star Fox 2 pretty much guarantees that the collector’s market will be out for blood so that they can buy up as many as possible to keep pristine in their boxes and never used.
Other than choosing the wrong Donkey Kong Country this is a pretty faultless list. If only I could have the European version with actual colours.
Oh man, three person Mana would be rad.
One of my top three games (Super Metroid) and my favorite RPGS( Mario, Mana And Earthbound) all in one with so much more amazing stuff. I want it all. When is the pre-order.
A little bummed that Chrono Trigger, Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, and Shaq Fu (listed in order of seriousness) didn’t make it onto the system, but I get it, and the current list is stellar.

still find it hilarious that Nintendo values snes games almost 2x as much as nes games.
Damn, NBA Jam would have been sick, but probably a licensing nightmare.
Probably the same with Griffey 
Damn you classic sports games!
No Chrono Trigger and the wrong DKC is a huge shame. Also, the overall limit of 21 games instead of the NES classic’s 30 is awful for the console with, IMO, the best selection of games ever. You can see which games were put in just to have multiplayer stuff, too.
Star Fox 2 addition is cool, but when you consider that 2 of these 21 games are Star Fox games, which I don’t think has aged well, seems like they could have dropped the first one. No one would have complained about that.
I’m willing to bet Super Mario Kart has not aged well either

No Tetris Battle Gaiden. LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE.
Honestly, that’s a comprehensive list of must-play SNES titles, with the exception of Chrono Trigger, NBA Jam, and maybe TMNT: Turtles in Time.
It’s a shame they are only going to make like 20 of them.
So did they address the issues of the tiny run of NES Minis or are they just going to 100% do the same thing again and make like 20 of these things.
Well I look forward to missing my opportunity to buy this! Mini N64 next year?
I wonder if, before we see the N64 Classic, we get…the Game Boy Classic?
An update to the story says they’re going to significantly increase production of this one, BUT there are no plans for production beyond 2017.
It was super weird to open my phone today and watch the tide of opinion and anticipation for this rise up and crater. This is a cool and interesting set of games (particularly with some games that were not part of Europe’s history with Nintendo); I’m particularly intrigued to see what form Star Fox 2 ends up taking, since it was (as far as I know) an unfinished game.
The Japanese version has Panel de Pon, which is the game that became Tetris Attack:

I am very tempted. I don’t actually know when I would get to use the thing though, especially as it is coming out at around the same time as Mario Odyssey I think? I have set up some UK stock alerts and will make a panic decision if/when any of them send up a flare.
Got mine reserved on german Amazon. That is, the european one I craved and never got as a child.
