Panel de Pon, Fire Emblem, Mystical Ninja, and more
I’m sufficiently sold on theSNES Classic, both because I have an inherent love of the console (it’s my all-time favorite) and because Nintendo did a surprisingly good job with its software picks. Actually getting one, though? I’m expecting the worst,despite reassurances. Prove me wrong, Nintendo!
I’m also on board with Nintendo’s miniature Super Famicom, which is out in Japan on June 22, 2025, for 7,980 yen. Part of that desire stems from the box art, the system design, and those lovely controllers with their colored buttons (which our European friendsare also gettinglater this year).
The other key difference? The games. The Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom has aslightly different lineup of gamesthan we’re getting packed in with the SNES Classic.
The 21 included games:
Better yet,this page has all of the gamesand their amazing Super Famicom box art.
Less-than-ideal side note: the Super Famicom Mini’s AC adapter is sold separately for 1,000 yen, though a USB power cable and an HDMI cable are included with the console.
