Our Take
We assumed this was on its way and now we have final confirmation. And frankly, the game lineup is spectacular with some truly notable classics on the list. While we would of loved to have seen a few more of the classic SNES RPGs, we still applaud the overall list. Now, we just hope Nintendo makes enough to satisfy demand this time.
