Nintendo dropped a huge bombshell announcing that the rumored follow-up to the NES Classic is actually happening. The SNES Classic arrives in retailers on Sept. 29 for the suggested retail price of $79.99. Not only is it coming pre-loaded with some of the best SNES games like Super Mario World and Link to the Past, but it’s coming with the never-before-released Star Fox 2. After Nintendo made the announcement, Twitter exploded with reaction after reaction of the post-E3 news, here are some of the best ones that we’ve come across:

Fans are definitely worried about not being able to get their hands on one, especially after how limited the NES Classic was:
Just called my local GameStop and they have zero SNES Classic's in stock today.
TYPICAL!

#StarFox2 being made available exclusively on the #SNESClassic will probably lead to a halfway decent Hunger Games at retailers though.
