The only thing crazier than Nintendo ceasing production of their constantly selling out NES Mini, is the thought that they wouldn’t be following it up with a SNES nostalgia machine. Assuming they stick with same number of games, here are my picks for the 30 games that should be included.
- Super Metroid
- Actraiser
- Super Mario World
- Super Mario Kart
- F-Zero
- Earthbound
- Uniracers
- DK Country
- Earthworm Jim
- Final Fight
- MegaMan X
- Ninja Gaiden Trilogy
- Street Fighter II Turbo
- Super Bomberman
- Mario RPG
- Super Punch-Out
- Tetris Attack
- Wario’s Woods
- Star Fox
- Zelda: Link to the Past
- Chrono Trigger
- Kirby Super Star
- Secret of Mana
- Harvest Moon
- Mario Paint
- Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts
- SimCity
- Contra III
- Super Castlevania IV
- Bust-a-Move
A lot of these games are going to be guaranteed built into the SNES Mini, but some might be too expensive for Nintendo to license, or just outright impossible. Since this is just for fun I am going to include a few Japanese exclusive games that would be great to see make it to the Super Famicom Mini or get an official English Release.
- Mario & Wario – The debut of Wario, a weird side scrolling puzzle game that made use of the SNES Mouse accessory.
- Tetris Battle Gaiden – A head-to-head tetris game where different characters have special abilities to unleash on their foes to drastically change gameplay.
- Fire Emblem – Three Fire Emblem games made it to the Super Famicom in Japan, and none of them made their way to the SNES.
With the SNES Mini all but confirmed, which games are you most hoping will have a spot on Nintendo’s 90s nostalgia machine?

What about Super Mario All-Stars? They still have yet to release it on ANY platform as a virtual console game. The remasters of the original three Mario games were so great! I’d love to be able to play them again. Just a thought.

I’m sure it’s too much to ask, but I’d love to see Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat II. They’re too violent to include, I’m sure, and Rare might not want to allow Killer Instinct to appear on nit.

That would NEVER be on anything like an SNES classic edition….Its a licensed game made by a publisher who no longer holds that license on top of the property now being owned by someone else
