Nintendo announced that they are releasing Super NES Classic Mini yesterday, a SNES console with the 20 most popular games from the generation. This allows us nostalgic gamers to return to the golden days of the SNES without having of blow dust of the 25 year old console, which is definitely worth the $80 price tag in my opinion. All the games are loaded into the console, so you don't need an entire storeage box for the games, and the console is coming with two controllers to let you invite a friend over for some fun as well.
Despite all this amazingness, there was a huge surprise in the game list! For the first time ever Star Fox 2 will be officially released!
Star Fox 2
Star Fox 2 is a direct sequel to the SNES game Star Fox, but was canceled due to the Nintendo 64 getting released just after the planned release date, and Nintendo did not feel like releasing a new NSES game to compete with the N64 games. Despite this the game was 100 % finished, and now it will be released for the first time, over 20 years after it was originally intended to be released!
It is really exciting that we get to play this game after such a long time, and it adds a nice bonus for those who purchase the Mini SNES. Not only do we get a lot of classic games that bring back our childhood, we also get a brand new game that has never been officially released before. I'm really excited to try it out, and I hope it is just as good as the original!
