Dallas Mavericks: Generations

Called it. I hope they don't go through the N64 also before launching Switch VC.

Did not call Star Fox 2. This is going to be impossible to find. Wonder what other games it will have. Guarantee it will have Mario Kart. Got to have some form of multiplayer racing. I wish it would have hidden additional control slots and a Bomberman or NBA Jam TE but that's asking for too much. (At least NBA Jam is)

It's great because they're all SNES games.

Also I think the most interesting thing about it is that it has previously not rereleased Super FX games on it.

How the hell is that eh? It's maybe missing just two games (Chrono Trigger/DKC2) from being perfect.

only 21 games, they could have easily have padded it up to 30 like the nes one.

If it turns out like the NES Mini, you'll probably be able to hack whatever missing games you want onto there, too. Unless they go ahead and only put on the bare minimum for storage or something.

The controller ports appear to be fake, from looking at the picture on their site. It also says the controllers are Classic Controller compatible, so there must be real ports on the back or side.

An odd decision.

So with the NES mini how did the display work? Did it stretch everything and keep the aspect ratio so it still looked okay but had big black columns either side, or did it stretch to fill the whole screen in all dimensions and make a smudged mess?

it's probably FF6.

Only things missing are DKC2 and Chrono Trigger otherwise that is a rock solid perfect lineup. I guess no sequels besides UBER RARE STAR FOX2 was allowed so we couldn't get X2 or DKC2. Chrono Trigger no idea why it didn't make it.

Proper 4:3 aspect ratio, with your choice of a "Pixel Perfect" mode or a CRT filter to make things hazily nostalgic https://www.theverge.com/2016/9/30/13089242/nes-classic-nintendo-new-features-multiple-display-modes
