It’s official. After months of rumors, Nintendo has confirmed the highly anticipated retro, mini Super Nintendo Entertainment System console. The new retro console is called the SNES Classic Edition, and you can check out the announcement tweet below. The new SNES Classic Edition is due out later this fall and will arrive in September. It will include over 20 games including the never-before-released Star Fox 2. You see, back in the 1990s, Nintendo released Star Fox on the SNES, and it was a huge hit. A sequel was developed for the SNES as well, and it was close to being finished. However, Nintendo then opted not to release it and scrapped the game. However, some ripped cart versions of Star Fox 2 have been circulated online for years. Now gamers will finally get to play a version of Star Fox 2 that is formally and officially released by Nintendo. Other games for the Classic Edition will include Super Mario World, Earthbound, F-Zero, Mega Man X, Final Fantasy III, Super Mario

Is SNES Classic Edition Next for Nintendo?

The NES Classic Edition has been an overwhelming success. It’s pretty much selling out everywhere, and stores couldn’t hang on to it for the holiday season. Since Nintendo released its own official retro mini-console based on the NES, it begs the question. Will a SNES Classic Edition come next. Per a report by PC Mag.com, there’s speculation it might soon become a reality. Per the report, the Twitter account @trademark_bot actually logged a trademark that was filed by Nintendo for a Super Famicom controller image. It’s unknown why Nintendo filed the trademark. Some suspect it could just be a way to renew the protection for the SNES controller design. However, it could be Nintendo thinking about an idea to revisit the Super Nintendo, much like the NES with the NES Classic Edition. You can check out the tweet below. The NES Classic Edition is a great idea, and it’s obviously been successful. So, hopefully that opens the door for both an NES Classic Edition 2 or the SNES Classic Edition.
