News SNES Classic Edition Confirmed, Includes The Never-Released Star Fox 2

As was widely assumed in light of the success of the now-discontinued NES Classic Edition, Nintendo today confirmed a similar system featuring games for the Super Nintendo.

It launches on September 29 in the United States and Europe.

The Super NES Classic Edition features a total of 21 games, including some huge names -- EarthBound, Donkey Kong Country, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Super Mario World are among those included.

But most notable of all is the inclusion of a game -- Star Fox 2 -- that was famously never released.

Here's the complete list:

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

As with the NES Classic Edition, the SNES Classic features HDMI output and resembles the look of the system it's based on but in a smaller form factor.

But unlike that system, it comes with two controllers in the box.

In the US, the SNES Classic is priced at $80 and includes everything you'll need.

We don't yet have European pricing, but we do know that the EU version lacks an AC adapter for the included USB power cable.

It does, however, feature colored, Super Famicom-style buttons, as pictured below. We'll report back as we receive more details.

But will it be in ready supply, and with LONGER cables?
