Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition, known as Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe and Australia and the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom (Japanese: ニンテンドークラシックミニ スーパーファミコン) in Japan, is a dedicated video game console by Nintendo, based on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The console, a successor to the NES Classic Edition, comes with 21 Super NES titles pre-installed, including the never-before-released game Star Fox 2.
The console is distributed in three variations, featuring the unique design of the original systems released in Japan, North America, and Europe respectively. While the North American release features an appearance based on the straight-angled grey-and-purple design of the SNES, the Japan and PAL region releases are modelled after the rounded edge Super Famicom design as originally released in these regions.
The system features HDMI display output and two controller ports; two wired SNES controllers are bundled with the system. The controller ports are hidden behind a faux front flap which is designed to appear like the original Super NES controller ports. Similarly to the predecessor's controllers, the Super NES Classic Edition controllers have connectors that can be inserted into the Wii Remote, and be used to play Super NES games on the Wii and Wii U Virtual Console.
Nintendo had been criticized for the lack of availability of the NES Classic Edition, of which they sold 2.3 million units between November 2016 and April 2017, having not been prepared for the console's popularity. With the Super NES Classic Edition, Nintendo said they are prepared to ship "significantly more" units than the NES Classic Edition, but also cautioned that they plan to produce the units from September 2017 to the end of the year, and could not affirm if there would be further shipments in 2018. The Super NES Classic Edition will ship with controllers with 5 feet (1.5 m) cables, addressing complaints about the short 3 feet (0.91 m) ones used for the NES Classic.
