SNES CLASSIC & THE GAMES THE FORGOT
So Nintendo just announced that they will be releasing the SNES Classic Sept.29th for $80.
It includes 21 classic titles as well as a never before released version of Starfox 2, 2 controllers, an hdmi cable, and a power adapter (usb depending on the country). However they have seem to forget that we know these games are small in space and they could have easily included a few more classic games we may have all wanted. Below is the list of games that will be included.
- Contra III: The Alien Wars
- Donkey Kong Country
- EarthBound
- Final Fantasy III
- F-ZERO
- Kirby Super Star
- Kirby’s Dream Course
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
- Mega Man X
- Secret of Mana
- Star Fox
- Star Fox 2
- Street Fighter® II Turbo: Hyper Fighting
- Super Castlevania IV
- Super Ghouls ’n Ghosts
- Super Mario Kart
- Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
- Super Mario World
- Super Metroid
- Super Punch-Out!!
- Yoshi’s Island
- Super NES Classic Edition
Now for a list of games that should have been included.
Chrono Trigger - To be fair you can probably still find this one in pawn shops all across the country.
NBA JAM - I know this is an image for the genisis but couldn't find a nice version of the super nintendo one. Ok, so this game was the absolute best at tearing friends apart in the 90's. It's where a lot of us learned to trash talk and throw controllers. This was madden before madden was madden ( I know it's basketball, but hey this was super popular)
FINAL FIGHT - This was nintendo's anwer to double dragon? Still highly memorable and a good side scroller the way they were meant to be played. Kinda like a chilled out contra.
Illussion of Giai - Because secret of mana wasn't enough and we all liked the old final fantasy games. I really feel like they didn't include enough games like this on the classic.
SIM CITY - I mean come on, they didn't include SIM CITY. What the hell were they thinking?
EARTH WORM JIM - Ok, so now I know they weren't trying really hard to make anyone happy with this release. Earth worm jim is a classic and the fact they have earthbound on there but no earth worm jim? SMH
KILLER INSTINCT - This game was awesome, was a lot like Mortal Kombat which also wasn't on the list.
MORTAL KOMBAT - This was the first system the game came out on, super surprised that they didn't include this. Maybe it was because the franchise wouldn't agree to it?
This is just to name a few that i'm bumbed were not on the list. I'm sure they will get hacked within a week and we will be able to load a ton of old roms on them. However the normal consumer will probably never do this, leaving them out of the loop on all the nostalgia.
For those of you that want to experience these games but don't want to wait or don't have the money, there is always emulators and usb controllers. My fiance and myself still play a lot of old nintendo games via our pc and a usb controller. We get all of the roms from https://www.emuparadise.me/
You just download the emulator, then download the roms you want and run them. If you mess with the settings you can actually get the game looking better than they did on your old CRT TV's.
Hope you enjoy the write up and make sure to give a follow and upvote.
