In case you haven't heard, Nintendo revealed the Super NES Classic today, the 16-bit follow-up to the highly sought-after NES Classic. True to form, Nintendo announced the Super Famicom Mini for Japan, and it's everything as wonderful as you hoped it would be.
There are some key differences in the Super Famicom Mini and the Super NES Classic, most obviously in the design and aesthetic of the box and device itself. But inside, there are some differences in the included games.
The Super Famicom Mini gives up Super Castlevania IV, Super Punch-Out, Kirby's Dream Course, and EarthBound, and replaces them with The Legend of the Mystical Ninja, known as Ganbare Goemon: Yukihime Kyūshutsu Emaki, Super Formation Soccer, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, and Panel de Pon, known in the west as Tetris Attack.
Both editions include the never before released Star Fox 2, which is utter insanity.
The Super NES Classic comes out September 27, but Japan (and those of us who are obsessive collectors) will have to wait until October 7 to get the Super Famicom Mini. Nintendo said it's planning to produce "significantly more" than the NES Classic, but it also said production will only run for this year.
Another key difference in the way Nintendo is handling the 16-bit classic consoles is the inclusion of two controllers, with longer cords than those found on the NES and Famicom Mini.
Last year Nintendo announced both the NES Classic and the Famicom Mini, so it's not much of a surprise it followed up today's Super NES Classic announcement with its Japanese counterpart. They were enormously popular, and still fetch quite a price on the grey market.
