The decision was made because they didn't want the old-gen 3D going up against the much better 3D of the next generation, side-by-side.

We at Hey Poor Player recommend you leave the modding to the experts for now and simply enjoy the console for what it is.Unfortunately for Nintendo, Star Fox came along midway through the SNES console's life - which meant the sequel would face growing competition from other, emerging forces in the industry. Bear in mind, however, it’s been confirmed the beta Star Fox 2 ROM leaked many years ago is obviously different from the final version included in SNES Classic Edition, so we imagine searching for that will prove difficult.įurthermore, there’s apparently still some work to do with the hacking process, so you probably won’t be downloading any additional games to your SNES after tomorrow’s launch. I mean, it probably is, and we certainly won’t link you to any ROM-hosting, but the above image is merely a test for the SNES9X emulator. Just to be clear, this does not mean this version of the Star Fox 2 ROM is already floating out there. Needless to say, the same process will happen here, as seen with cracked consoles and, yes, a dump of the Star Fox 2 ROM. Not that anyone wasn’t expecting this: last year’s NES Classic Edition was subject to the same modding frenzy, with many fans adding games that missed the cut.

With the SNES Classic Edition arriving early for some users, reports have already come out of disassembled consoles and hacks to pave the way for modding.
