SNES Classic Edition Announced… And Includes StarFox 2!

In a move that everyone saw coming, Nintendo has announced the SNES Classic Edition, which is essentially a miniature SNES-looking Plug-N-Play system with twenty one built-in SNES classics as well as TWO SNES controllers – the original NES Classic Edition only included one controller.

What makes this system a sweet deal is what’s on the console. Twenty-one games might not seem like a whole lot, but this is truly a matter of quality over quantity and the game selection is top-notch stuff indeed. Not only are you getting the usual Nintendo classics such as Super Mario World/Kart/RPG, Super Metroid, and even Kirby Super Stars, not only are you getting some of the finest third-party offerings such as Contra III, Super Castlevania IV, and Final Fantasy III (VI), but you’re also getting the never-before-released StarFox 2.

For those in the emulation and homebrew scene, you might’ve already played that one… but for many gamers who have never dabbled in that scene, this will be the first time they’d experience the game in any real official capacity. That alone adds value to the SNES Classic Edition, which is looking to be a solid offering indeed.

Let’s just hope Nintendo makes more than five copies worldwide.

The following games are said to be included…

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 II Turbo: Hyper Fighting
Super Castlevania IV
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

The SNES Classic Edition hits stores September 29th.

Mighty Numb… Er, Nine

In celebration of Mighty No. 9’s one-year anniversary… here’s a rambling of my perspective on this whole Mighty No. 9 thing. I was going to do this as a video, but time constraints (mostly dedicated to more important matters and material) made this an unreality. A review of the game itself will be coming up in December… maybe.

Advice To Websites: DON'T SET YOUR SHITTY VIDEOS ON AUTOPLAY

Why is it that every time I go to a website to read an article, there’s always a video that plays automatically? More often than not, that video has nothing to do with the article in question. This isn’t a convenience. It’s a waste of time to have to scroll on a video and tell it to stop. This is especially trying when a page has multiple videos and they all play at the same time.

Or even worse; the video will still play and appear in the corner. Yeah, because if I don’t want to watch the video in a big format, SURELY I’ll want to watch the same thing in a much smaller screen tucked away in the corner.

Here’s some free advice to websites with video supplements to their articles; don’t set your videos on autoplay. If I want to watch your shitty videos, I’ll click on them myself and watch them. If I want to read the articles, then I don’t want some idiot blasting into my ears unless it’s something I’m playing on my own volition.

Goddamn, kid. I need a stiff drink.

Or fifty.
