SNES Classic Edition rumored for fall 2017
After the discontinuation of the NES Classic Edition this month, we are left wondering why Nintendo pulled the ultra-popular and affordable retro game system. Reports from Eurogamer tell of the next idea in Nintendo’s Classic Edition lineup – the SNES Classic Edition. If reports are true, this could mean another amazing mini console. If the NES CE’s sales numbers are a helpful forecast of future SNES CE sales, then Nintendo is in for another easy cash-in.
Pokémon video game accolades
Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green are being inducted into The Strong’s World Video Game Hall of Fame. The original Pokémon games that started it all are being inducted along with fellow Nintendo titles Wii Sports and the arcade classic Donkey Kong.
Pokémon Sun and Moon were also named two of the best selling games in the US in 2016. Coming in at 11th and 12th place, respectively.
