While I am disappointed by the smaller amount of games included with the SNES Classic compared to the NES Classic, the included library has a whole lot more quality games that I think people want. I do scratch my head at the lack of some of the higher profile SNES games, like CHRONO TRIGGER or PILOTWINGS. Regardless, the SNES Classic is going to be a bargain at the asking price of $80, especially when compared to the cost of finding each game on its own with a real SNES. As long as we are actually able to find them in stores this time…
