Quick Take:

Whereas I couldn't muster anything more then an intrigued passing glance to the NES Classic, the SNES Classic is another story altogether. I grew up playing the SNES, and the only games that I've played that are on this list are F-ZERO, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World, and Donkey Kong Country. As you can imagine, I've always been interested in trying titles such as Secret of Mana, Earthbound, and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and most of the other titles on this list, but I've never gotten around to it. Hopefully the SNES Classic will actually be in stock this time, and not instantly disappear off of store shelves to be sold on eBay and Amazon for $250 instead of $80 like the NES Classic. We'll see.
