Nintendo Classic Mini Console: Super Nintendo Entertainment System

Product Information

The Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System has the original look and feel of the ‘90s home console, only smaller.

Including two controllers in the box is a great move, while the selection of games covers almost all of the classics – and the added rewind function means you should be able to make it through even the most unapproachable of the bunch. All of these games would be considered classics by anyone’s standards, and some of them in particular – Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy III, EarthBound and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars – are massive role-playing games that can take dozens of hours to complete. Once again, you can apply visual filters to games, from a CRT flicker to pixel-perfect presentations taking advantage of the full 1080p high definition afforded by HDMI output. Subject to regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority and limited regulation by the Prudential Regulation Authority.Between us old fogies on the nostalgia trail and younger players coerced into checking out what "real" games are by their parents, it proved a great success. But while the first Star Fox has a film of nostalgic reminiscence to remind you of its 1990s greatness, the sequel is a tough sell – mainly because the combat takes place in first person mode, which is a bit of a mess. They mention that it's a great retro product, fits into their pocket, and the controllers are the same size as the original.

The SNES Mini – or "Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System" to use its full, unwieldy title – doesn't cram in quite as many games as its predecessor, but makes up for it with some shining examples of gaming history and the sheer amount of play time owners are likely to get out of it.Nintendo claim that they’re making more of these than last year’s classic (which they’ve also announced they’re bringing back), and have also confirmed they’ll be selling the SNES Mini Classic into 2018.

Included with the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System are one HDMI cable, one USB power cable, and two wired Super NES Classic Controllers. This is just the styling, this flips down and the controller port is behind it which uses the same type of connection as the NES.

Unreleased in 1995 because of the N64’s imminent arrival, it finally makes its debut here, 22 years later. One of the greatest platform shooters ever made, Super Metroid looks fantastic and manages to create a truly dark, almost gothic Sci-Fi world.
