Nintendo is teasing SNES fans with its Classic Edition, a modern version of the retro console that includes wired controllers for a more authentic experience. Plug the wireless dongle into the SNES Classic Edition and you'll be able to control games from across the room, no cables necessary.
The SNES Classic was announced earlier this year and is the successor to the NES Classic that was discontinued last year. The Super Miniboss, of course, mimics the design of the original SNES controller, with four directional buttons, four action buttons, two shoulder buttons, and the Select/Start buttons, along with the familiar shades of gray and purple.
The Super Miniboss can also be used up to 20 feet away from the console, so that players can comfortably stay at a distance from the TV screen without worrying about tripping anyone over with wires. It serves a dual objective: faster input as well as home screen functionality when the button's pushed and then pressing select. As an added bonus, the controller will be rechargeable, making it easy to keep the battery topped off via a microUSB charging port. In fact according to a report from Polygon, the company has confirmed to the publication that they will actually be selling the SNES Classic on launch day itself.
The Nintendo SNES Classic Edition is set to be released on September 29 and will come with 21 classic NES games including "Star Fox 2".
Dubbed the Super Miniboss, the controllers look just like any other Super Nintendo pad except with an additional turbo button which serves a dual function.
