For now, file this story under 'rumorville.' Eurogamer has a solid track record when it comes to Nintendo scoops, however. It successfully nailed the Nintendo Switch concept last summer, calling it a "portable, handheld console with detachable controllers." A SNES Mini would make sense too given the overwhelming popularity of the NES Classic. The nostalgia for the old system, combined with a comprehensive library, made the Classic a tempting, borderline impulse purchase last winter. The SNES is an equally iconic console, with games such as Super Mario World, Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. A new version preloaded with the best titles would be a sure-fire hit for Christmas.

The bulk of Nintendo's business, of course, now rests on the Nintendo Switch, and ensuring it has a steady stream of high quality games. Super Mario Odyssey is due this holiday, but should that game slip into 2018, the SNES Mini could be a handy fall-back for Nintendo. It begs the question though: If you could guarantee one game for the system, what would it be?
