(Rights issues may be to blame, of course, but it’s nonetheless a noticeable omission.) The tragedy is that, just like the NES Classic, there’s no official way to load more games onto the SNES Classic, so those holes in the library will remain there forever. It’s disappointing that, even with the heavy RPG presence, there’s no Chrono Trigger, and a solid sports game aside from Super Punch-Out!!! – such as NBA Jam – would have been appreciated. Considering over 700 games were released on the Super Nintendo platform, paring it down to 21 left a lot of great material on the cutting room floor. While this is an excellent collection, it’s by no means definitive. Tracking down secret exits in Super Mario World remains platforming perfection, Earthbound’s quirky charm is absolutely endearing as a newcomer to the series, and Yoshi’s Island’s storybook art style is a gorgeous delight to hop through. Even the system menus are fun to browse thanks to a nostalgic soundtrack, the original box art for every game, and more Easter eggs like the occasional appearance of 16-bit Mario sprites.īut more than half of the SNES Classic’s catalog is fantastic and still a blast to play, and includes some of my personal favorites. A fuzzy CRT filter can also be added for a nostalgic throwback, if you’re into that.
Just like the NES Classic, these games are gorgeously emulated for HD screens in both a bright 4:3 and Pixel-Perfect modes the latter offers a slimmer, more modern look but often caused me to second-guess my jumps in Super Mario World due to the adjusted aspect ratio. There are some heavy hitters on that list, and without a Switch Virtual Console announced for the immediate future, there are few better ways to experience these fantastic games. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting.The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
