It's happening! Will release on September 29th, and will contain the likes of Earthbound, Super Mario World, Link to the Past, F-Zero, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Kart, and for the first time on any official Nintendo console, StarFox 2!

...OK, smart move by having Star Fox 2 on the thing.
Let's see if I can actually get one unlike the NES one.

I can already hear the scalpers salivating...
Unless Nintendo actually stocks these.

When will they get their head out of their ass and release the Virtual Boy Classic!?

pretty decent list of games... but I expect this to be rather lax on actually being on the shelves like the NES version. Though having Star Fox 2 on it is a pretty neat bonus... as is the best Final Fantasy game

I think this is the first time that the first Star Fox has EVER been re-released.
It's almost always Star Fox 64.

That is a f***ing amazing line-up. It's like that stage of my childhood, packed in a tiny console.
Has Nintendo ever resurrected a cancelled game like that? I can't think of examples. Closest thing that comes to mind is Super Mario All Stars featuring the Japanese SMB2 as The Lost Levels.

Just make sure that you manufacture more than 12 SNES Classics this time Nintendo.

Well, if we're using the All-Stars SMB2 thing, there was Earthbound Origins (AKA Mother 1) finally getting released recently.

I just wished DKC 2 & 3 were included, as well as All-Stars.
Then it would be perfect.

Official box art (I guess) for StarFox 2

Nice. Unlike the NES Classic, where I had probably played half the featured games before I don't own any of these and have maybe played 3 or 4 of them. I mostly owned wrestling games on the SNES.

Feel pretty good my previous guesses at an SNES lineup got 19 out of 21 correct. Didn't see Dream Course or StarFox 2.
Only real disappointments are lack of DKC2 and Mario All-Stars.
