[@jakebonnett1675]

For the price, they definitely should have included a full shell that you only need to move the board over to. But really cool that they're doing this at all, thanks for covering it!

[@opatapreta]

Thats what I was going to say. Why not just have everything ready. My snes is really ugly I want a full new case and I think a lot of people would have the same state.

[@oui.monsieur]

Crazy tax can't wait to scoop these bad boys on Alibaba by the end of the yr for 2.99$ shipped 🤣

[@natetechr]

@@oui.monsieur you'll get the fake one

[@dcarpenter85]

Agreed, way to pricey to make you reuse the eject, cart door, and expansion slot cover especially since they kind of clash with the atomic purple shell. Looks good otherwise though.

[@casperonacid_main]

It's a shame they didn't add those few extra parts like eject button, cartridge door, etc. Otherwise it looks great. Also wish they had Atomic Orange =)

[@FlipLaScript]

My childhood, but how I wanted my SNES

[@ETAPRIME]

It would have so cool if they did this for sure

[@dividion8102]

Looks great. I agree with the other comments about how it'd be even better if you didn't have to re-use some of the original plastic, but still very nice.

[@bakedbeans6]

I bought a clear shell from RGR last year. My only complaint was that the screw holes were not pre-tapped. The original screws Nintendo used do not have the strength to self-tap as you screw them in, so I highly recommend you PRE-TAP YOUR HOLES with a very small drill bit prior to trying to screw anything down.

[@therealmakmillion]

I would absolutely buy one asap, if they included a full shell. For $119.xx, I expect the grey bits, fresh springs, etc. Otherwise, the inevitable $10-20 knock-off will likely be a nice option.

[@sokoloft3]

What are the knock offs you mean? I have one but it needs a new shell. Anything I seen on US ebay that looked like a new repro was in the $50 range. There is an oem yellowed one for $35 ish or so. What should I look up for what you mentioned? Thanks.

[@Nobody93388]

I can't believe there aren't knock offs for this yet. $120 is way too much for a shell

[@therealmakmillion]

@@sokoloft3 as far as I know there aren’t any knock-offs available yet, but I’m sure there will be once someone sees there’s money to be made selling them for less than $120.

[@therealmakmillion]

@@Nobody93388 Same. Hopefully soon!

[@sokoloft3]

@@therealmakmillion I'm having someone 3D print me a shell. There is a file available online on some site. Not the usual thingiverse. They're going to make a video about it and then I'll receive it for my recapped snes.

[@1johnmill]

Nba jams all day long SNES nostalgia! 90s was beautiful.

[@bouwmr]

This is a beautiful case. The NA snes should definitely have the atomic purple case. It would look even better if the cart door was atomic purple too though.

[@74bobby]

I agree

[@IraJavier]

The thought of atomic purple shell has never crossed my mind for SNES. It looks amazing. Only if I still had mine, I'd do this! (I gave it to my brother).

[@feroci-tay5708]

"Atomic Purple" reminds me of when I got an N64 for Christmas, and one of the controllers was that color. Pretty nostalgic!

[@metalpenguin2000]

I was literally just looking at these. Seems like I need to get one now haha

[@ballistic2ag249]

That Atomic Purple looks so good. It fits perfectly with the color theme of the US Super Nintendo.

[@latt.qcd9221]

Funtastic model consoles and handhelds always look amazing.

[@mrhypnagogia]

Looks stunning

[@tecknopunk999]

This looks GORGEOUS!!! I wish they had one for the sns 101 model, I would definitely swap out the original shell for this

[@RealRedRabbit]

Huge fan of atomic purple, and it looks really great there. I would love to do this to my SNES and NES some day.

[@MrWilsantiago]

ETA PRIME never disappoints. Great Job!

[@1Raphael]

💥👍🐸👍💥 looks AWESOME, i really like the clear but that Atomic purple looks great...

[@FlavoredGenuine]

The SNES Atomic Purple shell looks very awesome and it’s something on my mind to purchase along with a used SNES console so I can restore and use it to play the best games from my childhood and stream them.

[@kazuhirala]

Wow it looked beautiful

[@_Turbocat777]

Atomic purple 💯% that clear purple paired with the original purple power/reset is really nice. I wonder if they could match the texture of the og controller to be that sorta rough style feel it would help it not be quite as smooth and maybe help darken the color a bit. would look good.

[@fermio100]

Fantastic!

[@giuseppedainotti2369]

Looks cool 😎

[@zandatsu07]

I love translucent shells especially in my handheld consoles

[@anthonyrichardlucas]

I need the clear CLASSIC MINI!!👍BEEN WAITING FOR THESE

[@SyluxXIV]

That is the most beautiful console I've ever seen

[@andromydous]

I've always been a fan of the atomic purple.

[@OledBurnInKing]

I used to have the gameboy color that was purple like this super nintendo in this video when toys r us were available in stores.

[@Rrodfer]

I would love to see a 3ds shell like this

[@glados_boatman]

The cart door also being transparent would have been great. Still a lovely mod.

[@itsdeonlol]

This is cool!

[@abzer0gaming]

Pretty cool. I just think the eject button, cartridge slot cover and controller ports should be in Atomic Purple too.

[@StormShadow4545]

Atomic Purple shell looks really good on the NA SNES!

[@TheGunnyBadger03xx]

If they made shells for the controllers, that would be GREAT!!

[@DeadxReckon]

Really hope they do a nice non-light blue. I've got a broken SNES I wouldn't mind working on.

[@kennethwillis8339]

Atomic Purple for sure.

[@fiffy6572]

can't wait for new 3ds xl custom shells to pop in popularity

[@kevincelis4051]

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT 🥰🥰

[@MOOSEMAN7809]

I think the atomic purple matches the original color scheme for the SNES best

[@phonggaming]

A very cool design. When you change into a new shirt, it looks very nice. I like it!

[@SegaTron64]

I have the clear one but Damn that Atomic Purple looks really nice. I still think it should be priced at or below $80 instead of $115

[@lasergame98]

Wish it was $20

[@noodles4773]

would love a video showing g off your snes collection

[@worldgate989]

I plan to get one of these next year when i get some bills paid off. My SNES fell from a shelf and the case was so brittle it broke into 20 pieces. I hope someone comes up with a DIY SNES like they did with the NES.

[@slarbiter]

Beautiful. I’d prefer a frosted atomic purple though, a bit too glossy

[@kevinbbadd]

0:46 eta when he is about to be intimate with a new partner and is checking it out

[@UnrivaledPiercer]

Use a hair dryer and a razor blade and gently transfer over the original stickers from the old shell to the new one. Original warranty stickers and stuff would look cool on a repro shell.

[@JaiaV]

I want *everything* in Atomic Purple.

[@kjetilfrugard8395]

Looks real nice. Now let me tell you what I want. What if someone made something stackable, just like a Hi-Fi stack? One component for each console, with cartridge ports in the front. Expensive? Yes. Cool as hell? Also yes.

[@thegooberman]

A smoked atomic purple controller would be nice perfect.

[@KYBlueJedi]

FYI RGR now has the extra SNES parts: EXT port, Controller port, cart door. Still no damn eject button though.

[@spideliciousx9822]

Looks outstanding! I'm a huuuuuge fan of the transparent cases in consoles and controllers. Is that plastic the non scratch type though? Some oil those plastics used are super easy scratch magnets? How does that one fare?

[@hektorlinko]

Very gorgeous A+++

[@nerdonofriendo]

atomic purple all day. great video.. Now that we are 32 years in the future is there any use for the communication port?

[@Idelacio]

Aww, they do a conversion kit for the Bandai mini saturn model to accept the CM4 but it's out of stock. Wish I'd known about that earlier. :(

[@fossil-bit8439]

Man does this look fantastic!!! It really pops with the purple buttons! Unfortunately I’m out at $120… that’s a bit ridiculous. Maybe if it was closer to $40-50.

[@BobbyxZx]

even 40 is too much. i can find a working snes in serviceeable condition for 100. how is just the shell worth 40? i could find a broken snes for parts on ebay and have a new shell for next to nothing.

[@feedmyintellect]

See through shells are quite popular in prisons as well. 😀

[@Adroit1911]

So bad ass!!!!!

[@Cruxics]

Wish they had a smoked clear. The just has black clear.

[@Bockman64]

Only issue is if you need a new shell because the old one was damaged or missing parts... old game door missing etc. Would be nice if an option to include some of the port covers/game door were also available.

[@FernandoDCDuarte]

Looks great! I'll check out their site to see if they've got N64 cases...

[@lyianx]

Not bad. I prefer translucent to transparent myself. Its also kind of a bummer they didnt give replacement cartridge door and eject buttons to match the rest of the shell. Them being gray makes them look way out of place.

[@Hawk_90sGamer]

I love atomic purple too 💜 I want ps5 case

[@diegolopezjr1]

What screwdrivers did you use to remove everything from the inside? Mine is all brittle and I want to get a replacement but not sure what i would need.

[@craftymulligar]

Don't mind the case. If it's taken up space rather have a multiplatform with it also.

[@BlueSnakeShell]

Need matching SNES jr

[@riodave4954]

Lol no SNES were harmed hahaha :)

[@leavemealoneandgoaway]

I would dye all the gray parts black. wish it was more of a textured/matte/frosted finish.

[@DaWild]

My snes shell has parts broken off it, so this seems cool, expensive... but cool :P

[@Heymrk]

Kinda bummed you had to transfer over some gray pieces, but like the shell as a whole. Also kind of disappointed there isn't the cart lock mechanism.

[@SacKingJOSER916]

don`t forget the bottom labels

[@ryan89554]

Geez now I dont have to risk blinding my eyes just to have it re yellow back

[@MauriceHall]

I'm not a fan of atomic purple like you are but that looks really good!

[@s01itarygaming]

Wish it were more frosted to give it a more authentic atomic purple look

[@sammy282835]

Look nice I thought it was the nt snes

[@ControlDenied307]

$115 for a plastic shell is ludicrous. To each their own, I suppose.

[@BobbyxZx]

why would you go to all the trouble of producing the thing, if you're only going to sell 3? that sticker price is a fcking joke

[@TrevorM1992]

over $100 for a shell? Thats insane. i was thinking about getting one, assuming it was like $40....hard pass

[@BobbyxZx]

even 40 is too much, you know it's the cheapest plastic they can possibly get away with. it always is with stuff like this.

[@charlestannehill7537]

STEAM DECK SHELL!!!

[@toepunch001]

Now switch the led also

[@mohamedmostafamohamedmahbo5706]

Bonkers

[@kamm3021]

Atomic purple controller shells available on AliExpress dude tou need it so bad

[@TinHatCat]

Great looking shells for the SNES but just too expensive at 145 shipped.

[@BobbyxZx]

with this many people saying it's way over priced, you think they hear it? nah, me neither. would someone just put one of these together for 20 buck yet? cuz i'm not buying til you hit my pricepoint. one day these will be 5 buck, cuz absolutely every snes will need one.

[@aolvs1950]

This nintendo was so advanced, it has a pcie gen 4 already

[@Sin_Alder]

Looks nice. Now if only it cost ~80% less, then it might actually be a decent product.

[@tapetraining]

These are well worth the price. Super high quality build. Also many of the old SNES consoles are turning yellow these days so its nice to have these options.

[@stevenm1832]

As much as atomic purple is nice I think it should have matched the funtastic purple on the n64. Would be nice to be consistent for collectors.

[@froddobaggins]

Yeah I agree its waaaaay too shiny. Matte would look much better.

[@ManniLive]

I want one now!

[@MrJaz8088]

I can still not get use to the Boxy Look of the US SNES, Australia got the Europen version, Th3 NES is a total box so the next gen would make sense to be box looking

[@TN_AU]

No love for Atomic Purple or Smoke Clear for the Super Famicom model? Also us PAL users?

[@EfficientTrout]

the old original case is timeless, you just need to de-yellow the case to make it look like new again

[@BobbyxZx]

what do you do about the big ass hole my thumb put through it because it's old and brittle?

[@BeatButler]

This is so cool. This would be cool to make.. and then have one cartridge that had an SD card in it that could hold the full library of snes games.. Does anyone know if there is anything like that on the market?

[@lordkaicer]

Yes is called an fx pak, sd2snes or an everdrive.

[@BeatButler]

@@lordkaicer oh ya.. ok cool deal. Thanks alot!

[@cwxdaf152]

The plain clear ones look a little too much like those prison electronics. I'm not a big fan of purple but that ine does look really good. REALLY good.

100 buck good tho? nah
