A couple of weeks ago, prior to the Nintendo Switch announcement, I had a weird dream in which it turned out that the upcoming NES Classic Edition actually was the NX.
That’s dumb but I shared it on Twitter anyway and one of my followers replied, “Don’t scare me like that. Unless…unless they plan to make new NES games. Old-school meets modern AAA.”
And that got me thinking… What if Nintendo made a new console dedicated to retro-style games?

Zachary reveals his picks for a prospective SNES Classic Edition game lineup (42:55) then Andrew shares his (1:00:56). They cap it off by going through their viewers’ copious recommendations of awesome SNES games (1:40:28).
Did I say we capped it there? Oops. Andrew finishes out the show by talking a bit about his approach to the use of profanity and potentially offensive humor in his YouTube videos (2:02:14).

In November, Nintendo will release the NES Classic Edition, a mini retro console that includes 30 classic NES games for $60. Naturally, many gamers expect Nintendo will eventually release a similar product that will include a selection of classic Super NES games.
But why wait for Nintendo to announce an official product? Let’s come up with our own list of 30 SNES games for the assumed SNES Classic Edition!

On November 11th, Nintendo will release the NES Classic Edition in the US for $59.99 (the UK version launches for a similar price around the same time). The mini retro console will include 30 classic NES games and while we all have our favorites, most everyone agrees it’s a pretty solid list of titles.
Still, the RandomTower crew thought it would be fun to come up with our own lists of 30 NES games and revealed them on last week’s podcast. For convenience’s sake, I’ve reproduced our lists below so you can compare them to Nintendo’s. Games not on the original list are highlighted in red.
3 CommentsLast month, Nintendo announced the NES Classic Edition (Nintendo Classic Mini in the UK), a miniaturized NES console that comes preloaded with 30 classic NES games. It launches in November for about 60 bucks.
Unfortunately, the 30 games that come with the console (listed below) are all you get. You can’t add more.
So, what do you think about the system’s line up of games? Any glaring omissions? Any titles making you wonder why the heck they were included in the first place?
