Introduction[edit]
Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition, known as Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe and Australia and the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom in Japan, and also colloquially as the SNES Mini or SNES Classic, is a dedicated video game console by Nintendo, which emulates the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The console, a successor to the NES Classic Edition, comes with twenty-one Super NES titles pre-installed, including the first official release of Star Fox 2. It was released in North America and Europe on September 29, 2017.

Specifications[edit]
The console is distributed in three variations, featuring the unique design of the original systems released in Japan, North America, and Europe respectively. While the North American release features an appearance based on the straight-angled grey-and-purple design of the SNES, the Japan and PAL region releases are modelled after the rounded edge Super Famicom/PAL Super Nintendo design as originally released in these regions.
Internally, the console uses hardware similar to that of the NES Classic Edition. It uses an AllwinnerR16system on a chip with four ARM Cortex-A7 central processing units and an ARM Mali 400 MP2 graphics processing unit. It includes 512 MB of flash storage and 256 MB of DDR3 memory.
The system features HDMI display output and two controller ports; two wired SNES controllers are bundled with the system. The controller ports are hidden behind a faux front flap which is designed to appear like the original Super NES controller ports. Similarly to the predecessor's controllers, the Super NES Classic Edition controllers have connectors that can be inserted into the Wii Remote, and be used to play Super NES games on the Wii and Wii UVirtual Console. The Wii's Classic Controller is also compatible with the Super NES Classic Edition. While the NES Classic Edition controller is technically functional with the Super NES Classic Edition, gameplay is impossible in most games due to the missing action buttons (X, Y, L, and R).
The console uses the Linux operating system and runs a set of emulators developed by Nintendo's European Research & Development (NERD). These emulators provide the basic compatibility with the Super NES system, and for specific games, chipsets that were included on the cartridges, such as the Super FX chip used for Star Fox.
The Super NES Classic Edition ships with controllers with 5-foot (1.5 m) cables, addressing complaints about the short 3-foot (0.91 m) ones used for the NES Classic.

Following on from the success Nintendo had with its homeland Famicom release in 1983, the NES would storm the US market in 1985 and help jump start a collapsed US video game industry.
To differenuate the NES’s games from other American ones (Atari 2600, Intellivion etc...) Nintendo of America (NOA) would come up with the iconic pixel box art design that proliferated Nintendo’s first and second party outputs from 1985 until 1987’s Rad Racer. These early box arts were key in explaining to initial adopters exactly would kind of game they were purcahsing. You had a graphical example, the type of game listed and the famous Nintendo Seal of Quality emblazened in gold authenticaing the product as of Nintendo quality (more on this HERE).
The company started to move away from this design style with The Legend of Zelda’siconic box art (1987) being the first, and in doing so started to compete with the other Japanese publishers such as Data East, Capcom, Bandai and Konami who since late 1986 had been producing their own western friendly box arts.
Tag Team Wrestling (1986) would not only be one of first non-Nintendo produced NES games but would also be the first to come with a box art by a high profile US comic artist: Frank Cirocco. In contrast Capcom’s Ghost’s ‘n Goblinswould be the US’s first taste of a Famicom (and thus Japanese) box art to make it across the pond unscathed. Konami would follow suit with Gradius (1986).
Taking note of Nintendo’s early box art ‘branding’ efforts and also looking further back, for example, at Atari’s and Activisions, companies such as Capcom (1942, Commando), SNK (Ikari Warriors, Guerilla War) and Bandai (Chubbly Cherub, Ninja kid) would produce their first wave of NES covers with distinct and individual package designs. It would be a trend that carried on throughout the 1980’s but little used in the 90’s.
Come the beginning of the 1990’s with Sega’s Mega Drive/ Genesis and Nintendo’s own SNES available and both vying for a more adult market share, the NES’s box art catalogue would start to emphasise the consoles more young-child focus. From the 1991 until 1994 the majority of box arts would be cartoon themed or adorned with adolescent branded characters.
Snes Mini Box Art
The beginnng of 90’s also saw Japanese Manga style box arts appear such as Parodius and Arkista’s Ring (both 1990) a trend that throughout the decade would become more and more popular.

The final NES box art would suitably be a Nintendo effort in Wario Woods (1994).
