Nintendo Classic Mini Console: Super Nintendo Entertainment System

What an amazing piece of kit. You will not believe how cute and detailed this console is until you get to see it for yourself. I was expecting it to be good, but not as good as this! The pads alone in this NEW condition are worth £80, then you have the games, 21 in total.Contra 3: The Alien WarsDonkey Kong CountryEarthBoundFinal Fantasy 3F-ZeroKirby Super StarKirby's Dream CourseThe Legend of Zelda: A Link to the PastMega Man XSecret of ManaStar FoxStar Fox 2Street Fighter 2 Turbo: Hyper FightingSuper Castlevania 4Super Ghouls 'n GhostsSuper Mario KartSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven StarsSuper Mario WorldSuper MetroidSuper Punch-Out!!Yoshi's IslandAmazing eh? Considering these games cost like £8 each on the Wii/Wii U virtual console, totalling £160, and you get an amazing console and perfect pads with the ability to add hundreds of roms on the consoles 300mb storage makes it absolutely essential! Forget buying the Switch for your kids, let them share some of your great memories on the couch playing with their dad/mother, priceless :) Seriously, kids of any age will love it, games like Super Tennis have never been surpassed by any Tennis Sim yet, and provides amazing 2 player action.You can power the console from a USB socket on your TV(if you have one) is so convenient. The controller leads can be extended for about £8 for 2 extension cables. Any USB socket can power it, if you want to hook it up to your PC or use a USB plug if you don't have a spare socket.Pros:LooksAmazing emulation, easily the best I've experienced yetAdd a huge amount of ROMs you wantPerfect replicated padsConvenient power cableCheap pad extensions cables if neededSome amazing classics included on consoleLooks beautifulWill only rise in price, good investment(not that you'd sell it!)Save game anytimeRewind gameplay if you make a mistake on Super Ghouls and Ghosts for instanceStunning build quality for priceAwesome user interface that kids can easily use, puts modern consoles to shameConsShort pad cables as standardNo decent sports game as standardHave to press reset on console to save/rewind or choose different gameNo option to stretch game to fullscreenHave to pull the original gamepad sockets out to plug in pads which deters from the look while in useAs you can see, most of the cons can be sorted. With many handheld/mini emulator 3rd party consoles available not one is worth buying due to crappy emulation/pads/power plugs needed. crap build quality this is in a different league and saves the hassle of having to get your old snes out and having to buy expensive(like Earthbound) to actually experience.This is a stunning piece of kit, I just love it. I just hope with every ounce of my being that Sega release my favourite 16bit console, the Megadrive, in mini form as that would be my perfect gaming setup.Buy it now while cheap, and thank me later.

Is working fine now but couldn’t get it to work and I tried several times so gave it one more chance before sending it back and hey ho it’s working! So I’m going to keep it now! And it’s all good thanks!

For they're on the whole FACTUALLY incorrect.You DO NOT need to buy a separate power adapter. It comes with a similar USB lead that comes with smartphones that plugs into the same plug.The games ARE NOT graphically inferior to the original. You have three different viewing modes. 4.3 (original ratio) with a glitch to set up the retro feel to 10 so there's a flicker similar to the old CRT TVs back in the day. There's the 4.3 aspect that does give some extra (less graphic quality to the original but perfectly playable) pixelated effect since it's showing up on modern TVs so much bigger than back in the day. Or there's the TRUE original graphics which shrinks down the 4.3 aspect to give exactly the same graphics of the original SNES.I will update my review in time if need be since I haven't had it long yet. But all the games seem to play without a hitch. Already halfway through Super Mario World and nearly finished Street Fighter 2.For the money you are getting hours upon hours of game time and even some of the weaker titles really aren't bad games, there's no true duds amongst the 21.The console is well built and the controllers are exactly how I remember them.Any negatives for me aren't a big deal. Indeed there's only 2. The reset button could have been incorporated either hard or through software to the controller. And the USB power lead and HDMI cable could be a meter longer.Whilst this is a review of the console it needs saying that since I bought it it's gone up by ten pounds. And I'd already paid over the odds for it going by when High St stores had it in stock, if it was to hit over the hundred pound mark then I'd say it would lose its value for money somewhat. That's down to greedy sellers though.
