Nintendo of Japan released a new trailer today for the Super Famicom Classic console, showcasing the console’s size and the games included in the bundle. This new trailer also reveals a few previously unknown features, like game borders and a rewind option.
The Super Famicom Classic’s reset button allows players to create save points for the games loaded onto the system at the press of a classic-inspired button. This new trailer shows that once those save points are re-loaded, players can reverse gameplay and try those particularly sticky points again.
The trailer also revealed the addition of borders and aspect ratio options on each game. Players have the option to display their games in standard 4:3 aspect ratio, add scanlines for a “CRT” look, or select an upscaled “pixel perfect” mode. Not only that, but the extra space around the game window can now be filled with title-specific borders instead of flat black panels.
As advertised, the Japanese version of the Super Famicom Classic (the Super NES Classic for western fans) throws back to the original Japan-only Famicom case style. This new trailer highlights the console’s miniaturized form factor, capable of fitting in a single hand.
The spot also features many of the 21 games pre-loaded onto the Super Famicom Classic. Most notable are those not included in the North American and PAL releases, like The Legend of the Mystical Ninja and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. It’s unclear still whether the other features shown here will be included in the NA and PAL versions of the console, but it seems fairly likely.
The Japanese version of the Super Famicom Classic will launch in Japan on October 5th for 7,980円. The NA-only version will launch on September 29th for $79.99.
