Greetings All,
Well with the holidays over the success/infamy of the NES classic is still going. In the thread I made for this entry, I explained several reasons why I would not want to own one. However there is much speculation that Nintendo is already in the planning stages of a similar classic console for the SNES. Here is there chance, IMHO, to fix so many errors and rlease a great product that will have mass appeal/fanfare.
Requirements for me to purchase:
1. It must have a port to read original SNES cartridges (similar to the Genesis classic console)
2. It must have *hopefully* more than 30 games pre-installed. If no more than 30, then I'd pay the same amount ($60.00) for the console. If there were more...say 50-100 you could charge double ($120) and I'd happily pay that.
Here is a list of the top 100 SNES games according to IGN http://www.ign.com/lists/snes-games
For the most part I agree with this list. The only one I think that really should be there, and isn't is Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. If however there would be only 30 games, Below would be my perfect list. I tried to be as unbiased as possible, but as I am not really a fan of sports or RPG games, I fear that some of these would be sacrificed for the sale of having a more "balanced" selection of games, also there are a couple of pretty significant Nintendo self-made titles I've left off because I just really never liked them. My personal best 30 would be:
Actraiser
Actraiser 2
Contra III: The Alien Wars
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country 2
Donkey Kong Country 3
Earthworm Jim
Final Fantasy III
Gradius III
Mega Man X
Mega Man X2
Mega Man X3
Ninja Gaiden Trilogy
Ogre Battle
R-Type III
Star Fox
Super Street Fighter II Turbo
Super Castlevania
Super Ghouls n' Ghosts
Super Mario All-Stars
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario World
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Super Metroid
Super Punch-Out
Super Star Was
Super Empire Strikes Back
Super Retur of the Jedi
TMNT: Turtles in Time
The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past
So what do you think? Would you be interested in a SNES classic? What would it take for you to purchase one? What games would you want to see included? What Price would you be willing to pay?
