Not only that, but Nintendo has included the obscure Star Fox 2 in the SNES Classic Edition - a game that never saw the light of day on a store shelf or in a consumer's console. Sure, it doesn't have the name recognition as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or Super Mario World, but Chrono Trigger is often cited by many (even at DualShockers) as the best game of that generation, if not the best game of all time. And though this may be a viable claim to omit obscure titles that have waxed in popularity in niche markets (for example Actraiser), there already is a hardcore following in the gaming community for Chrono Trigger. Next, critics will be quick to point out that Nintendo (as always) is targeting the general public and their wants before more niche or hardcore audiences. With the groundwork in place, it seems weird that Chrono Trigger was omitted - unless there is further issues with licensing Chrono Trigger in particular. However, as we mentioned, Square Enix is one of the partners, offering titles like Final Fantasy III, Secret of Mana, and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Nintendo very clearly wanted to get the most bang with their buck, contracting with some of the best SNES publishers like Square Enix, Capcom and Konami and ignoring one-hit wonder developers. Development and licensing costs begin to add up quickly. The more companies, developers and publishers you bring in to the project, the more Nintendo has to get lawyers involved. While many fans of licensed titles are clamoring for the SNES Classic Edition roster to have games like Aladdin, Super Star Wars or Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures, there are immediate problems with licensing issues and working out contracts.
