Nintendo's Classic Mini NES is finally dropping for consumers and everyone is already excited about the retro-console even with limited gaming options. But aside from the classic 8-bit console, gamers are already anticipating and rooting for Nintendo to re-release the widely popular SNES (Super NES) console.
Classic Mini NES Features, Release
The Classic Mini NES from Nintendo is set for commercial release on Nov. 11 and it comes with 30 games that bring back memories for those who grew up with the console. According to Ars Technica UK, the upcoming console will feature improved graphics especially on lighting compared to the virtual console in Wii U.
The device will connect through HDMI and it will give players different different graphic options including the classic 4:3 aspect ratio as well as the default HDMI version of the game. Another unique feature of the Classic Mini NES is the ability to save games. The player could either place a permanent save point or a temporary save point.
SNES Classic Mini?
The anticipation of the upcoming retro-console is sky high and Nintendo is expected to earn a lot for the upcoming release. Because of its expected success, there are already rumors circulating regarding Nintendo's possible consideration of the SNES console. Paste Magazine even listed the games they wanted to include in the rumored console such as "Super Mario World," "Donkey Kong Country" and "NBA Jam."
Classic Console Wars
Nintendo's release of 30 classic games for NES will also have some sort of competition next year. SEGA is also set to release their classic retro-console in 2017.
SEGA is expected to release the updated version of Mega Drive next year with 40 games that were also popular on its heyday. The console will also come with 40 additional arcade and puzzle type games.
The reason why SEGA is considering a re-release of their console is due to the fact that their classic console is still popular in South America especially Brazil. The licensed parts manufacturer of SEGA announced the upcoming console and its availability next year.
With SEGA's Mega Drive flooding the market next year, Nintendo could also join the 16-bit competition with the rebooted version of SNES.
