'''Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Edition''', titled ''' Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System''' in Europe and Oceania and '''Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom''' in Japan, was a miniature video game system by [[Nintendo]]. It is a follow-up to the [[NES Classic Edition]], and was sold for a limited time between September [[2017]] and [[2018]]. 
It contained twenty-one built-in games, and was designed to resemble the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in North America, Europe and Oceania, and the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] in Japan. It contained a proprietary menu and [[emulation|emulator]] to run the games, as it was powered by an [[Allwinner]] [[R16]] chip with a 1.2 gigahertz [[central processing unit|CPU]], rather than the [[Ricoh]] [[5A22]] chip with a 3.58 megahertz CPU that powered the system it was designed to resemble.
==Differences between regions==
The system released in Europe and Oceania resembled the Super Famicom, as did the original release.  Whereas the North American system used the grey and purple color scheme of the original release in that region.  The name and packaging were also different, but the games and the system software itself are identical.  Both versions came with the same 30 built-in games and contained two controllers that were modeled after the original game pad. The controllers had a five foot cord that connected to the system via two Wii Classic controller ports that were positioned behind the faux-controller panel in the front of the unit.  The power was provided by a standard mini USB plug and wall adapter, and the video was output through HDMI.
The Japanese release on the other hand, also contained twenty-one games, but some of them were different from the Western release.  Unlike the Famicom Mini, the Super Famicom Mini used the Wii classic controller ports, in the same manner as the Western releases.  It also utilized a standard mini USB plug and wall adapter for power, and the video was output through HDMI.
==Games comparison==
The following table lists the games included in the SNES Classic Edition and the Super Famicom Mini.

==Technical specifications==
The system itself is much more powerful than the system on which it is designed.
It uses an [[Allwinner]] R16 "system on a chip". The system specifications are as follows:
*1.2 Ghz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU (central processing unit)
*500 Mhz dual-core Mali-400 ARM GPU (graphics processing unit)
*256MB SKhynix 2Gbit DDR3 SDRAM (random access memory)
*512MB Spansion SLC NAND Flash storage
Since it uses common architecture, all regional variations of the system can be modified to add additional games, simply using the supplied mini-USB cable and open-source software.
