Super Nintendo Classic Mini.

Banjo

That is a weird autocorrect. Slap. Although now I feel bad for slapping the games when I could have been soaping them instead.

Some people blow in the cart. Banjo uses soap. No one's judging. Except CiDeRmAn. He's always judging.

That's not fair!
That implies that I fit the stereotypical Moderator, as typically portrayed by the habitually banned users who go on to bitch and blame on Reddit!

Cops don't like me.... And I... Don't... Like... Cops....

Not yet, though that said, I've yet to actually play it I find these days I rotate between current gen and retro, one at a time. It's so easy to be overwhelmed by choice

I have completed Donkey Kong...and started a few other games..... I need to start putting in big hours......I was quite into F zero for a while to......then I went back to Mario kart and it seemed so slow.... and yeah I think a few others have said it...star fox hasn't aged well

What now?

Goodbye individually packed Japanese NES
Though I never imported you at all
I always checked eBay listings
And that 2nd hand store in the mall

Even when you went out of stock
Oh, I bookmarked your playasia page
But now you're bundled with a SNES
And every previous customer has been raped

An' it seems to me you lived your shelf life
Like an amiibo kept pristine
One day valuable like a Zelda or a one legged Peach
But now you're worth **** all and my investments ruined
Like a Tom nook that I bought in Smyth's
Or a Microsoft Zu-ooh-ooh-une

RobbingBandit

Iambic Pentameter poetry only please.

That Tom Nook amiibo will haunt you always and forever

Thinking of picking up a snes mini for a gaming club I'm trying to set up

CiDeRmAn

I've a SNES Mini and a Famicom Mini, neither of.which appear to have changed in anyway following the news of this combination pack.
No word on pricing, it will at least get the systems into the hands of more fans and confound the scalpers.

That depends on the numbers. Hopefully you're correct, but with Nintendo I'm always a bit cynical of the 'scarcity' model they seem to have going on. At times, they're scalpers best friends!

These if released will always end up in scalpers hands especially at Christmas which is when I'd guess it'll be released I have been dead for about 6 years now as far as what my rep is was or etc etc will grab one myself if I can as I'm getting a autism support group together I think and one of these would be a great thing to have for people to use. Although I'll probably hog it playing Zelda or Secret of Mana.

Sold mine on adverts today, took about 5 minutes for someone to ask for it.

The nostalgia goggles didn't work, the more I played the more I realised that these old games are not great.

RobbingBandit

If youre not using them donate them to local kids hospital I'm sure they'd put it to good use

Corholio

I don't really get the whole 'Because I didn't play it much now it means the games weren't actually that great' It's more a personal nostalgia not having the same effect now really. I never thought I'd play the SNES mini etc as much as I originally played the SNES, just a nice option to play through now and again.

ERG89

I think it depends on the game. I still personally feel Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy 6 and Super Mario World hold up but Super Mario Kart, Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country and even Street Fighter 2 just don't holdup as much anymore.

:eek:

For me at least, Super Mario Kart was superseded by Mario Kart Super Circuit on the GBA, same 2D style but with lots more content.
Star Fox runs better on a NTSC console and the Snes Mini matches that.
But the gameplay has aged a bit, but it's still fun, though that's entirely subjective!

BadTurtle

The Battle mode on Mario Kart SNES still is the best IMO.

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but the lack of discussion on this might actually tell me all I need to know

Thinking of asking Santa to bring this for me. Well, kind of for me, but also for the kids. The eldest enjoys the Wii, but she still has some difficulty with the concept of needing to move both hands; using the nunchuck and the remote together often poses a challenge. She does well with Mario Kart, but still having to move her whole body to turn the car, can be tricky. Basically when she gets excited, she's up on her feet and bouncing around the place constantly. When your controller is based on an accelerometer, this complicates things

So I'm thinking that the simplicity of the Snes controller might be more up her alley for the time being. And I've a smaller one who'll probably start poking at buttons in the next 12 months.

In short, is it worth €80?

Mr E

What age are your kids?

I think it's definitely worth it. If you're a little bit technical, you can load it up with extra SNES games too (up to about 80) and you can even add in games from other consoles like the Megadrive, Gameboy and Gameboy Advance.

Optimus Prime

its worth it to me for sure, there are ways to get all the SNES games on it too that i wont link to here. (its easy). Only thing id recommend is getting the extension cables for the controllers as the wires are very short.You can get these on amazon etc. I play mine all the time.

Absolutely.
My 2 girls love mine, they're 4 and 9. They prefer the SNES to the NES.

Using folders I assume? I've heard that there are issues with more than about 80 on the main carousel...

Optimus Prime

Yeh it automatically puts them into folders alphabetically . I haven’t seen any issues on my own to be honest. They play fine.

plibige

I don't know if it will be an issue, but for me there was a big element of nostalgia in with this console, I love 2D games, side scrollers and pixel art. But also my first console was the SNES. My brother on the other hand (6 years younger than me) had no love for the art style, struggled with the 2D games, and got very frustrated with the difficulty in some of the side scrollers. His first console would have been the PS2, so he doesn't seem too interested in these games.

So I suppose a factor may be what they have been exposed to at this point. They may find the graphics too dated and the difficulty too much, but equally they might not have any expectations and take to the games the way I did as a child. As long as they aren't expecting fortnite you should be okay!
