The guy who developed the Analogue NT Mini (currently the $500 holy grail of 8-bit gaming) is providing jailbreak support for every 8 bit and prior system. He plans on making a 16 bit console - I'm waiting on that. I love early gaming enough to pay a premium price.
Lately I'm playing the major Zelda game I missed, Majora's Mask, using Dolphin emulator, HD texture pack, and a wireless xbox360 controller (lol). This last week I also played Mario 64 for the first time in 20 years. I love emulating because of the up-scaling and widescreen code support etc..
However, NES and SNES don't need any upscaling. It's great of Nintendo to shell out new, old consoles; however it's kinda mean of them to stop production on the NES Classic.

I've still got my bootleg combo NES/SNES with Street Fighter and Mario, I think Chrono Trigger is the only thing that would have made me really want this (and FF II/IV).

amazon's doing it too. but i suspect i'll actually have to get my ass out of bed and wait on line for one this year, when i didn't bother for the nes classic. at least it'll be in september instead of november, making it a little bit less of a holiday rush purchase

I have managed to secure two pre-orders (UK).A friend of mine donated me his childhood video games collection before he moved to the USA a number of years ago, so I'm planning on sending him one of the SNES mini's when I get them (being from the UK he doesn't want the USA's gross boxy one, and would prefer the smooth beauty that is the UK one).
― CraigG, Thursday, 3 August 2017 10:06 (six years ago) link
until a few months ago I'd gone my entire life without knowing that the US SNES had a different (hideous) design to the Japanese/European one
― Number None, Thursday, 3 August 2017 23:22 (six years ago) link
you think it's hideous? you should see what happens when they get old and yellow
― Nhex, Friday, 4 August 2017 02:35 (six years ago) link
I have an original old snes too (courtesy of said friend) but thankfully it's avoided going yellow - it's still got a 'healthy' grey blandness to it. And, aye, I'm not a fan of the blocky USA snes, but it's probably more down to familiarity with the rounded eu ones (plus we have multi-coloured buttons on the controller, which I don't think the USA one does?)
― CraigG, Friday, 4 August 2017 12:02 (six years ago) link
nope, sadly we did not get the colored buttons
― Nhex, Friday, 4 August 2017 13:43 (six years ago) link
I read somewhere that the SNES re-design thinking was that Americans would break the eject mechanism on the original design.
― Philip Nunez, Friday, 4 August 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link
i read that it's because the american soul is vulgar
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Friday, 4 August 2017 17:07 (six years ago) link
there's an eject button on the SFC?and tbf just about everybody busted the springs on their NES consoles, it was a poor design

I snagged one of these today and it rules! I was in college during the SNES heyday so I donβt know most of these games, just Donkey Kong Country and Street Fighter, both of which I played about a million hours along w NBA Jam Tournament Γdition. Might hack it eventually for the latter.
