The only thing the NES Mini showed was how badly Nintendo was ripping us off with the VC.

People thinking the NES mini lead to switch sales....(rolls eyes).
Same with this, unless they go all out and launch VC on switch with shit tons of NES+SNES HD games at your fingertips for cheap prices. I don't see the same customer who impulse buys a piece of nostalgia for $60 then go and buy a $300+ console to play classic games. Just not happening.
It's almost as if maybe they need another product for the fall as they may not have the software this fall that people will buy in droves like they did with Zelda for switch launch.
You wonder.

My prediction:
1. Super Mario World
2. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
3. Super Mario Kart
4. F-Zero
5. Star Fox
6. Pilotwings
7. Super Metroid
8. Super Punch-Out!!
9. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
10. Kirby Super Star
11. Super Street Fighter II Turbo
12. Mortal Kombat II
13. Donkey Kong Country
14. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
15. Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
16. Wario's Woods
17. Kirby's Dream Land 3
18. Mega Man X
19. EarthBound
20. Gradius III
21. Contra III: The Alien Wars
22. Breath of Fire
23. Secret of Mana
24. Final Fantasy II
25. Chrono Trigger
26. Final Fantasy III
27. Kirby's Avalanche
28. Kirby's Dream Course
29. The Legend of the Mystical Ninja
30. Super Castlevania IV
Though to be honest, I expect either fewer games or a higher price point. If it is the same price, I'd reckon they could stand to drop FF2, Kirby's Avalanche, Dream Course, Mystical Ninja, and Breath of Fire.
1. Super Mario World
2. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Wasn't Castlevania III missing from the out-of-the-box NES Mini lineup? Can't verify right now but I think it was.
Something as stupid as only including two out of three classic Castlevania titles gives me little hope for the all-inclusive lists posted for this so far.

Derp! How did I leave F-Zero off my list? Smh...
Correct. CV3 is absent from the lineup.

I'm torn on this one...
On the one hand I loved the SNES, and love the controller.
On the other, it doesn't quite hit my childhood nostalgia like the NES (my first console) did. And while I owned only a few NES Roms on VC, I own about 20+ SNES Roms, so it's possible I'll own all the games included here.
Seeing what Nintendo decides to do with the VC on Switch and what the quality of emulation is like with be the deciding factor.

Ok.
I think current Disney and Capcom could make the Disney Super NES games work. They just released The Afternoon Collection and re-released Marvel vs. Capcom.
For TMNT, Nickelodeon would have to coordinate with Konami and that ain't happening, lol.

A SNES Mini would be an automatic buy

If they put Mario RPG on this. I would freak out like a stupid fanboy and actually possibly pay scalper prices.

I would love if Zombies Ate My Neighbors was featured on this... One of my favorite games of all time.
Or at least if it could come to the Switch VC - perfect for co-op.
Can one of you mockup wizards do a ZAMN switch recoloring to match the protagonists?

I mean you could still count it as five games or however many are on there, but I see your point. In any event, people need to have SMB 3 on every list. No way it will be left out.
I also wouldn't doubt seeing more "Mario games" like the RPG and Dr. Mario.
You have no idea. Rettbone and I are already strategizing on how to really hit the ground running. Our success this past year was really thanks to Nintendo and we look forward to this Holiday season. Here is one of our recent hauls. Take care ya'll!

I got up at 7:30am on November 11th, dropped my GF off at work, and then drove to Best Buy and got there around 8:10am. I then waited outside until 9:00am, got a ticket in line (#3), went to get breakfast, came back at 10am to a huge line of 100+ people, and got to cut in front of them to #3 in line and buy an NES Classic for $60.
It wasn't difficult. I did take the day off in advance (it was also my bday), but I didn't have to buy it from scalpers, or stalk stores.
I just had to get there hours before those 100+ people showed up at 10. 40 of us got them, and all 40 probably got there before 9am.
No overnights. No upcharge. No F5 mashing.
I'm confident if I give it some effort,I can get a SNES as well.

Highly doubt this will have any FF or CT on it.
Still, super interested in this. They better actually produce a good supply!

This will be an even bigger massacre, watch Nintendo not even allowing pre-orders on this thing.

SMRPG is the SNES to me. I'll be so sad if its not there. (It wont be)
Regardless I LOVE SNES. Will get myself one.

See, I should be excited about the possibility of a SNES classic, but the only thing I can think of right now is what kind of fuckery Nintendo is going to pull with the supply for these.
People kept talking about he financial incentives for ending NES Classic production in the other thread, but ignored what a PR nightmare doing so has been. A lot of potential customers are pissed, and therefore wary about anything else coming out.
News like this should not have negatives attached to it, but here we are.

Not trying to be a smartass here, but I really don't understand this argument. The idea of refusing to buy a product based on not being able to buy the previous product just doesn't add up to me...
Surely it hurts Nintendo if enough people decide to pass on the SNES Classic, but will that really be the case? If it is easy to find, will people who swore off of buying one really refuse to purchase it based on principle? Help me understand this one.

I never said I wouldn't buy it. It just doesn't bode well when the news of a potentially exciting new product is met with lingering bad feelings over the handling of the previous product. You can see how that is something a company wouldn't want? It indicates that there's a problem connecting with the customer base.

It took a miracle for me to get an NES mini.
Maybe Nintendo will do preorders this time...eh? eh?

I definitely get the idea of bad customer relations, I was just questioning whether that would really hurt their sales here. If they weren't using their own products and had a very consumer-friendly competitor, I'd say they'd be facing some trouble. As it is, their handling of the NES Classic kind of sucked but they don't have a ton of incentive to change their approach. Mom and pop are still going to go nuts for this during the holidays rather than buy their kid a Raspberry Pi.

My mistake. I see it haha. Good list!
SNES never got Super Turbo. Only Super. SFA2 would be fun lol.

You can almost guarantee FF4 and 6 and Chrono would be on the list.

I'll be getting one for sure, even though I have an SNES and there will be some repeats. Still, it's funny that Nintendo failed to meet demand on the NES classic, cancelled production without meeting demand, and will now release a new production in which you know the same thing will occur. I'll be preordering for sure. Didn't do that with the NES classic and regretted it, but eventually found one.

Dracula's Curse is a little trickier to emulate and I don't remember for sure if the NES Classic Edition emulator can even play it if you side-load the ROM. I feel probably not.

What are the odds it comes with a wireless controller?
I need to start training my mouse click finger for the 2 minutes that they're available for pre-order. Make sure my accounts with Best Buy, Walmart, Target and Amazon are good to go and thoroughly vetted for any possible billing or credit card errors. Of course I'll probably be asleep when the pre-orders go live at 3AM or whatever weird time they do.
I'll need to work on a contingency plan for ordering while I'm asleep.

These things aren't rocket science. If raspberry pi's can be produced in large numbers at that price Nintendo can manage it without issue

It's always funny how few Nintendo games you find on the SNES compared to the NES. I suppose the existence of the GB contributed to that.
Also I have no idea what SF2 games are on the SNES or what the definitive version is lol.

I won't be getting one based on how they handled the NES version. I spoke with a few other people who were similarly burned and they aren't that interested. This thread is going the same way. Nintendo really fucked up with how poorly they handled the production of essentially a potato. They could have been cranking these out but nope.

They probably devote more of their resources to the more profitable items
The margins on the classic would probably be some of the smallest out of all their lines

Those two are guaranteed.
Hacking the thing to put the whole SNES library on there gets me pretty moist
