It's heavily rumoured
that a SNES Classic Edition (unofficially dubbed 'SNES Mini') is being developed by
Nintendo for release this Winter. It wouldn't be surprising if they
announced it at this year's E3 event for maximum exposure but we'll
have to wait and see what they have up their sleeves. If such a
device is in development then the discontinuation of the NES Mini
would make slightly more sense from a business point of view, so
the two 'Mini' consoles don't compete with each other or cause
confusion as to which device is which.
Regardless of
Nintendo's business practices, I can't help but be excited at the
idea of a SNES Mini, the SNES library of games is huge, varied and
features some of the greatest and most beloved video games ever made.
As such, I've written a list of the top 25 games I would like to see
featured on a SNES Mini, if most of these games make the cut, I think
the device will sell extremely well (and hopefully this time Nintendo
will see the demand coming and be able to make enough stock to
satisfy everyone).
