Following on from last month’s reveal of the delightful NES Classic Hoodie, Merchoid are back with the affectionately named SNES Classic Hoodie which of course is cleverly timed to coincide with the release of the SNES Classic Mini.
Based on the European and Japanese versions of Super Nintendo (i.e. the best one!), this hoodie takes its inspiration from the console’s greytone colour scheme with added body paneling on the shoulder and arms, as well as the instantly recognizable SNES logo on the chest. It will cost £44.99/€54.99/$54.99 and ships worldwide.
Also revealed today is the equally charming Nintendo: SNES Controller Wallet. Modelled after the compact gaming pad, the bifold wallet has a wrap around design with 3D detailing on the controller buttons. Inside there is ample space to store cards, notes as well as a zipped coin compartment for any loose change.
As if that wasn't enough, others additions to the SNES range also includes the SNES Controller Cap and SNES Controller Keyring.
If any of these SNES themed items have taken your fancy, you can hop over to Merchoid and preorder today. Delivery will be in November, so you'll need to be a bit patient. But we're sure the wait will be worth it.

Nice, but not worth it, just like the NES version. At least the NES version had the buttons on the front, this one is just boring
Way too expensive. I'm liking that keyring though.
Are the 4 SNES face buttons on the keyring just painted on? It's the nicest item of the 3. I wouldn't pay €55 for that hoodie.
That's pretty corny. I'd rather play the SNES than wear it. To each their own.
55 euros! Gotta be joking! That's $81 Aussie... Tell'em they're dreamin'!
To appeal to our snestalgia and keep the experience as authentic as possible, Merchoid will make two of each, and they've already sold all six preorders to the same scalper. Please understand.
I nearly bought the key ring, then I remembered my tin of Nintendo key rings (mostly from ONM covers, preorder bonuses and the days before nostalgia tax meant they could 2x the prices). Thanks for the reminder!
$55 😱😱😱😱😱😱
Oh, man. I bought the NES one last month, but I don't think I can splurge on a second very expensive hoodie. Bummer, because I like this one better.
It looks less horrendous than the NES one,but that's not exactly a compliment.
Really wish that game-inspired clothes designs would realize that less is more. It's a nice idea but no way I'd wear that. Would have been much more tempting without the logo (just the four little dots of colour).
The only SNES Classic you'll be able to get...
I'd rather have one based off of the NA version of the SNES since I'm in the minority that prefers it.
I really don't see the point to all this when we all know Nintendo are yet again going to screw over the fans on the SNES classic.
The cap is disappointing. Slapping a snes controller on the front is boring
@bimmy-lee oh man I loled. Also we definitely always confused Bimmy and Jimmy as kids too lol. Double dragon 3 on nes is the best double dragon by the way. Punishingly hard but we could clock it without losing anyone and with our dad playing which was a handicap believe me! We had to do the jumps for him in Egypt though.
Good old 80s and 90s dads. Many tried so hard to connect with us on our own turf, but it was often painful. My dad was pretty decent at SMB and Sonic, but that was about it. Once, my friend brought his Power Pad over with a copy of Track and Field. We were playing in the basement which had a low ceiling. My dad decided to try the hurdles (he ran them in high school after all, so why not). He got so excited, he jumped too high and split his head open on the ceiling. He played it cool though. Barely hurt. Blood was running down his face.
DDIII is by far my favorite. I haven't played it in a really, really long time, but I think it's in my top five most played games. I rented it so many times, I probably could have bought it twice. Would love to revisit it some day. It was a great game... until Egypt. Platforming in the DD series was pure rage. On par with the Turbo Tunnel racing section of Battletoads, the underwater bomb diffusing in TMNT (pink seaweed!), every Ninja Gaiden game, and dozens of other Nintendo Hard games or levels too numerous to mention. A perfect run in DDIII is seriously impressive. Well done.
We don't have to always agree philosophically to be friends, so take care friend. Oh, and to give my old man his dues after a bit of ribbing here, he was excellent at table tennis, pool, and drinking alcohol.
