The microconsole will again launch with 21 games pre-loaded onto the system - including the never-released Starfox 2. Classics such as Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, F-Zero and Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past are also included.

Its arrival follows the sold-out success of the NES mini, shipments of which could never meet the larger-than-expected demand for the system. Many units were snapped up and then sold on eBay.
Hopefully Nintendo will increase its shipment size for the SNES mini - and keep it stocked longer than just until Christmas.
