Rumors of a follow-up to the successful-yet-underproduced NES Classic Edition spread across the internet this past April. Yesterday, Nintendo confirmed them to be true with the grand reveal of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition.
Akin to its predecessor, the package will come pre-installed with some of the defining games of its era, with 21 in total. Nintendo’s titles make up the majority of the list, although Square Enix, Capcom and Konami contributed some of their work as well. These are the games that will be included:
