The SNES Classic/Mini

I got this baby for Christmas and so I'm loving the heck out of it even though I wish it had more games on it and had the capacity for more games to be added. So far I'm loving the heck out of Secret of Mana, which I never got to play before. Wow, people weren't kidding when they say the Mana series took a nosedive into mediocrity.

I was able to snatch one up myself. So cool. ^.^

Now why can't Super Mario RPG also be on the 3DS E-shop?

I have to admit, I was spoiled by the later Starfox games, so the cruder graphics and controls take some getting used to. But I can still see its a solidly made game and an important part of gaming history.

Probably because they want you to buy the SNES Classic/Mini.

I haven't been able to get my hands on one, though I haven't really tried that hard. I have played most games on it to death either through emulators, VC, original SNES, or all of the above.

I haven't actually played through Secret of Mana but I have played through it's sequel that never got a localization, Seiken Densetsu 3, which is a pretty darn good game. I was actually tempted to download the Secret of Mana collection off of the Japanese eshop for the Switch so I could play the game legit on a console for once.

Speaking of, with Secret of Mana getting a remake, I hope Seiken Densetsu 3 finally gets ported over here. It needs to happen.
