A follow-up to the NES Classic - a Nintendo-made clone of the classic NES using simple ARM-based hardware - this will be a Super Nintendo/Super Famicom clone with twenty-one games, HDMI output for compatibility on more modern television sets, and two controllers.

The list of announced games is as follows:

Spoiler: List of Games

   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 2 Turbo: Hyper Fighting
   Super Castlevania 4
   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

with Star Fox 2 making it's first official appearance by Nintendo due to never being released and only available through emulation or cannibalizing a DOOM/Super Mario World 2/Winter Gold cartridge as it needed the Super FX 2 coprocessor.

The system will cost $80 and launch on September 29th.

Personally, while I really like the look of the games list - they've picked quality titles over quantity - there's no way I'm going to shell out the money as for the same price you can just build your own emulation-based machine using a variety of single-board computers or even a computer as old as something based on the Pentium 2 alongside the worry that they'll do what they always do and put barely any supply out to make the demand even larger for the system. Still, if they do keep making these for more than four months and the eBay resellers haven't made the price too crazy, I'd have a bit of interest into hacking the hardware as while the NES Classic wasn't the greatest internally, being able to be modded into a small, NES-shaped emulation station running anything from Atari 2600 to the games of the early 90s with some great controllers was a bit nice if you were able to get your hands on one.

Older consoles are easily emulated on your laptop or even phone, which are just as compact as the new product they are releasing.

So.. I wouldn't really gun for it either, but it's still nice to see, they are doing something.
