[@iwritechecksatthegrocerystore]

Wait you’re grandmother has an SNES classic? Or an original SNES? 😂😂😂

[@r.a.l_junk]

My younger brother somehow managed to buy one of these with his own 9 year old money. I had played Super Mario World before on the Wii U, but this was my first time playing games like Yoshi's Island, Kirby Super Star, Super Mario RPG, Star Fox, and loads of others. I was 14 at the time, so these aren't just made to nostalgia bait a bunch of 40 year olds. These can be gateways for younger people like me and my brother who don't have hundreds of dollars to blow on the original console to experience these games for the first time.

[@periwinkuru]

Agreed, before SNES games came to Switch and before I became proficient at emulating, these mini consoles were basically brand new consoles for me, and my main way to play all these classics at the time. I will always attribute that value to them, even though others see them more as collectors items.

[@VicerimusMortem]

sounds like your brother had some priorities with his allowance

[@r.a.l_junk]

@@VicerimusMortem The thing is, as far as I know it wasn't something he was saving up for at all. He just saw it at a Walmart, wanted it, and just so happened to have enough money in his pocket. I'm not even sure he knew about it before that.

[@VicerimusMortem]

@@r.a.l_junk I just checked what the original asking price is (for the us anyways) for the SNES Classic Edition. 80 bucks. So I assume he had like 50 bucks, a twenty and a ten stuffed in his pocket, or hopefully, an actual wallet on him. But that just raises the question... Does your little brother just carry all his own money everywhere he goes if my hypothesis is correct, then??

[@r.a.l_junk]

@VicerimusMortem He did back then, not as much now. Also, I don't remember exactly what bills he had on him or even if he had a wallet. It was around late November- early December 2018, I believe, which is right after his birthday. He might have had a 100 dollar bill from our grandma (she was a bit loose with giving us money). Either way, it happened, and here we are now.

Can't wait for the Classic Edition of this joke

[@greggvictorious968]

Last year my cousin who knows zero about videogames asked me what he should get for his little kids to introduce them to games. He thought about getting them an "Atari" but I said stop right there and I immediately ordered an SNES classic. So I went to my cousins house with the SNES classic and went through how to turn it on, taught them about the d-pad, how the buttons are labeled, and how to hold the controller. Showed them how to scroll through the library of games. The first game any kid starting out should play is Super Mario World. Then we played some Mario Kart, Super Punch Out, and Zelda. As far as these kids were concerned the SNES classic was now their main gaming system and they loved it. It really shows that people complaining about it at the time of release asking what's the point of this is really narrow minded and can't think about how something may appeal to others.

[@nujuat]

The first game I played was Mario 3 on my parents' second-hand NES, which would have been in the mid 2000s. Good older games like the ones on this mini console are perfect introductions to gaming. I would have liked a save feature though on Mario 3 LMAO.

[@JessicaGorehamPenney]

That's so cute!

[@leonro]

That sounds quite awesome. And if you want, you can "hack" it quite easily and add a few more games that are missing, like Chrono Trigger, DKC 2+3, all the Mega Man games and more.

[@chickenindabox3169]

[@ChrisMS0815]

The first game I let my nephew play when he was little was the first Donkey Kong Country on Wii U VC, he could never get past the second level with the rain, them armadillos were kicking his ass. He's 17 now and don't really play much other than Minecraft now.

[@Glitchman24]

I remember going to Walmart at like 5 PM and by some miracle they had ONE SNES Classic left, which I immediately bought after missing out on the initial run of the NES Classic. Star Fox 2 was also definitely a huge selling point for me back then. The employee working there said I was extremely lucky and that they had no idea why it didn't sell earlier in the day.

Fun Fact: if you use a Wii Classic controller, hitting the home button will act like the reset button

[@thomasc6574]

not on a non modded console

[@stretch7293]

@@thomasc6574 No, that is in fact a native feature of the device. No mods are needed to do it.

[@MegaZeta]

It's the other way around. The reset button on the original console just reset a system that could only play the physical game cartridge inserted in it, and the mini needed a Wii style home menu. The home button takes you home, same as on the Wii. It's the _reset_ button that now acts like the _home_ button.

[@LightspeedAdventurer]

@@MegaZeta The _reset button on the SNES Classic_ takes you to its home menu. So the original commenter is saying that the _home button on the Wii Classic Controller_ acts like the _SNES Classic's reset button._

[@maybethisone]

I had fun thank you

[@amerimangaka]

My brother hacked some games onto my snes classic years ago and a few months ago I finally got around to actually playing something on it. I played Chrono Trigger, it was my first time playing the game. Amazing experience, I wish it was on the snes classic out of the box

[@thebluehero7319]

When I hacked mine I was pleasantly surprised by how much was possible. Modders have ported the PC versions of Cave Story and VVVVVV to it and they both play perfectly (fantastic games btw), also plenty of RetroArch cores can run on the thing too.

I’m super grateful for the SNES classic solely because it was an accessible way to play EarthBound. Such a great franchise that never got the chance it deserved

[@partyanimal9382]

Irk!! Like holy crap, I can't wait to add this to my gaming collection. Sure, I might be buying it to avoid getting a switch online subscription that I don't care about and find pointless and unfortunatly can't play the mother 1 aka EarthBound Beginnings AND to play this one specific game (Mother 2 aka EarthBound)...However, I have the option to play and own pre installed games, take it on the go easier, play other games since I don't have to find and blow a crap ton of money for a few games, play with another person, I don't have to buy the original one that cost a butt ton to play on just to spend another butt ton to buy one game...AND it's so fucking cute. Like LOOK ME IN THE FACE AND TELL ME IN MY EYES THAT THIS CONSOLE IS NOT CUTE!!! Like come on. It's sooo worth the money!!! I hope I can get one since I've only know about the minis for a few weeks now. It sucks how rare this game is and we only have two out of the three games released in the US, but it made Earthbound easier to access, play, and affordable!! I've never play it before, but I've heard great things and stories from others and I can't wait to play it when I get the SNES mini!! I'm fortunate that Nintendo re-released their consoles and games on their newer consoles so that old and new players can enjoy them. Even though, it can get annoying for the old player. I also try to play the newer/updated releases of games to get the most out of my buck yk

Here for the legal pad. Big fan of the legal pad.

[@PScoopYT]

Star Fox 2 roms that were on the internet before SNES Classic release are technically "content complete" but it's clear they were rough patches around the edges that need more cleanups that the final rom has. Here are some of the biggest differences between the two. 1) the result screen. While the leaked rom is more flashy, the final rom actually tells you the score calculation of each category. Which is important for the game as getting enough high scores is required for unlocking stuff. 2) The homing charged shot no longer enabled by default, you have to collect all the golden medals (otherwise known as Pepper Coin) in each difficulty to even have access to the function in that difficulty (alongside a pool of special items to help you on your mission) While some people thought this was a dumb decision to make the game harder, I actually think this turn into yet another part of the strategy gameplay to juggle, which is pretty fun! Also homing shot just broke the difficulty in half for a lot of things anyway. So I think making the players earn that feature is a good thing. 3) In turn, the game rebalanced its difficulty quite a bit for the players. Health pickups heal two full shield points instead of one in the leaked roms. And indoor walls no longer hurt the players, for example. (At least I thought this wasn't the case for the leaked rom, it's been years) 4) Miyu and Fay no longer equipped with Twin Blaster by default, but in turn, you can unlock permanent Twin Blaster upgrade for all characters if you're reaching enough score on your run. (This required beating the game on Expert so it's not an easy task!)

[@Nerdtendo6366]

This is one of the rare systems I’m actually proud to have in my shelf, even though it isn’t even plugged in. It looks so nice on a shelf, and unlike a WiiU I don’t have an overwhelming sense of survivors guilt for looking at it

Why is this video 144p

[@myriadmediamusings]

Oooh yeah now we’re talking. SNES was my childhood console through my cousin lending his to me, and so I pounced on this one when it came out. Aside from childhood games like SF2 turbo, Mario World, DKC and StarFox, I was very eager to try some of the hidden gems like Earthbound, Mario RPG and FF6. Star Fox 2 finally being officially released was also a huge win and now that is my favorite Star Fox game. Woulda been neat if it had the same amount of games as the NES Classic but I didn’t mind because these were all beefy games that lasted a while.

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

Same here. I was actually born in 1994, so my nostalgia with the SNES was watching my brother play it. The Donkey Kong Country Trilogy was always my favorite to see him play.

[@chrisbeach423]

This is crazy. Literally this week i typed in “Scott the Woz SNES” and found nothing. Then he releases this?!? Awesome 😎

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Since Scott did a video on the NES Classic days ago, it's inevitable that he did a video on the SNES Classic Edition. Scott, thank you for making videos on classic editions on retro consoles like Game Gear Micro. 😊

[@jakeinator2005]

This was my first ever exposure to the SNES library. I knew the library and always wanted to play it, but I never had a way to do so. Then my 8th grade social studies teacher showed me this in 2019 and I got one used later that year. (For context, my Switch was broken at the time and needed repairs, so online library was a no go.) It felt so magical to me to finally play all of these games I've always heard about but never got to play. And quite a few of them did live up to my expectations. I had few letdowns with the overall package. I even bought a classic controller PC adapter to play it on PC games and emulators. Using it for SNES, GBA, Sega Genesis, and DS games feels so natural. Overall, I'd argue this is my favorite miniconsole ever.

[@Supern_Ice]

@@nujuat Yeah I’d argue it’s a real classic and deserved to be on there as much as anything else, the difficulty curve is intense. For whatever reason, the arcade version is easier, so maybe try that to hone your skills

[@laughyourashevilleoff2546]

Surprised they didn't keep going with these. The N64 and Gamecube would do gangbusters with something like this, but I feel like they value those games more highly despite the fact that they are all now really old and not known to a whole generation of gamers.

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

I think I wanted the SNES Mini more than the NES Mini back in 2017. I was born during the same month and year that Donkey Kong Country was released, and I would watch my brother play all 3 games, along with Kirby Super Star, Super Mario World and SF Turbo 2. Unfortunately for me, just like the NES Mini, they were hard to come by, as they would usually be sold out at whatever store I would go to... I did get lucky in early 2018, when I was with my young sister at Hillcrest Mall, and I managed to see 2 SNES Minis in an EB Games. I ended up buying one... and only one, because they are a bit more costly here in Canada. I then decided to give it as a gift for my older brother for his birthday. When I told him this, he asked why I didn't buy one for myself... and I responded that I wasn't paying over 200 CAD for 2 SNESes. I would eventually get the Japanese equivalent, the Super Famicom Mini, in early 2019. This had 3 different games replacing 3 of the ones on the SNES Mini, that being Fire Emblem, Super Formation Soccer and the best SFC game, Panel De Pon! I love playing on that thing, especially for Panel De Pon! And yeah, I still use it to this day, despite having much better options available. I even took it on a family trip to Costa Rica last year, to simulate some hotel gaming! It's been a huge part of my collection of stuff. As for this video... This was pretty good! Loved the bit with the SNES Book, that featured fan art and development stuff on various games! I love how Scott highlighted some pros and cons with the system, noted some omissions like DKC2 not being on there, and the funny joke with the little flap to plug in the controllers. This was a far better video than that horrible Ashens video on the PAL version of the SNES Mini, where, because he's Ashens, he demonized the North American SNES like it was one of the worst things ever created or something, even putting a scare chord on an image of it, like it was something to be feared... And I did not like it. Yeah, the American design was a bit bland compared to the SFC's design, which would be the basis of the PAL version, but... it's not some abomination as he makes it out to be. I like you Ashens, but man... way too harsh on the American SNES... Sorry, I try not to think about that video...

[@Jazzmaster1992]

For those asking for an N64 classic, I'm wondering what Nintendo would actually put on one, especially in order to fulfill the 30-35 game quota these systems seem to have. For the level of praise this system gets, the actual list of memorable titles seems pretty short. You have the obvious inclusions: SM64, Paper Mario, Kirby 64, Mario Kart, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Smash Bros, Mario Parties 1-3, Star Fox, Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Snap. After this, you get into issues with licensing which could possibly be overcome (see: Golden Eye, DK 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo, or Mischief Makers if they really wanted a niche title with a cult following). Some of those have appeared on NSO, others not. Otherwise, this list is actually pretty short, and makes developing an entire system seem difficult to justify. I'm genuinely struggling to think of games that would really help build a standout list that would make an entire classic system priced somewhere around about $100, that people would really buy, vs just padding it out and selling nostalgia. Not to mention the problems we seem to have with emulating N64 titles, and that awkward system controller, even to this day.

[@michaelwolfe9496]

I highly doubt they would put more than 25 games on an N64 Classic if they only put 21 on the SNES. Also, DK64 shouldn't be a problem, they got DKC on SNES Classic. Wave Race, Cruis'n USA, Fzero X, Excite Bike 64, 1080 Snowboarding, Mario Golf and Tennis, Sin and Punishment, Pilot Wings 64, Yoshi's Story are likely guaranteed as well. So added to the obvious inclusions, that's 24 total. Plus whatever third party titles they manage to get (Ogre Battle 64, Bomberman, maybe Castlevania 64 if they're desperate). But yeah, you're right, that's about it in terms of classic titles (that don't have licensing issues). Regardless, I don't see them making an N64 Classic in the near future, because it would detract from NSO's Expansion Pack.

[@JoshLeitzel]

Now this was the one that actually hit for me. Born in 96. Even though it was around the time of the sixth gen, I grew up with legacy consoles (including the NES) and the SNES was by far my most played and loved gaming machine for the majority of my childhood. Have always loved the game library, for the most part ages like wine imo. But there were so many I was never able to play and I didn’t have a virtual console machine or knowledge of emulation around 2017, so this cute lil thing is actually how I played through a number of classics like Mega Man X, Castlevania IV, FFVI, Earthbound. So I may be in the minority but I got hella bang for my buck outta the thing for a good few months… but now it is a nice display piece and talking point. 😂

[@DarkOverlord96]

I'd replace Kirby’s Dream Course with either Pilotwings or Final Fight. Aside from that, I think this is honestly a perfect collection of SNES classics, it has all the iconic Nintendo franchises represented here along with some iconic 3rd Party games. I also don't mind them not including more Donkey Kong Country games because I feel with collections like these it's sometimes better to just stick to one game per series, or at least if the games in that series are too similar to one another.

I'd get rid of Super Mario World before I even dare to think about getting rid if Kirby's Dream Course

[@diyth]

@@chunkymonkey7983now that’s a hot take

[@FigureFarter]

Final Fight sucked on SNES. Rival Turf is the better option

Scott is back in action

[@shazwansith2397]

Damn, is that a Pilot G-2? Scott is a man of culture

[@shanthegamer21]

The SNES Classic needed more titles on it; it’s very perfect!

[@boowiebear]

I just bought one on eBay based on this video. Not a super nostalgia guy and know I could get these with a Pi but this thing is so cool. I want to play with my kids. Thank you! ❤

I still have my SNES Classic Edition, and I still play it to this day. I got mine near the end in 2017. 3 day after christmas. I was extremely ecstatic that night. They should have included Killer Instinct, Mega Man X2, Mega Man X3, Mega Man 7, Kirby's Dreamland 3, Castlevania Dracula X, Super Mario All-Stars, Donkey Kong Country 2, and Donkey Kong Country 3 along with all those 21 games. This would make a total 30 games just like the NES Classic Edition.

Its so cool for scott to pull a Nintendo in 2016 by talking about the snes classic edition when they have nothing else going on.

I honestly think the SNES has the best library of any Nintendo system except the Switch. And this console has only bangers. It is sad that they never did an N64 one, but we ended up on a high note

[@scrapyarddragon]

Megaman X on the SNES classic was the first time I ever played ANY megaman game, and it resulted in me eventually trying out the zero series years later and becoming an inticreates fan.

Kirby's Dream Course is an amazing inclusion man, I've put so many hours into that multiplayer. It is the best golf game Nintendo has ever made, it is nothing like golf

[@epicwade6346]

Kirbys Dream Course Is such a blast, best snes game 10/10

[@haydnberthold9489]

The SNES is possibly one of the best things to own if you're a gamer. Hard-core or casual. While it has a few weird omissions like DKC2, Kirby's Dreamland 3, Pilot Wings, and a few puzzle games like Tetris Attack and maybe something like Super Bomber Man to add a little more variety. It is still a great system to own. I should because I got it when it was cheaper. But still, a little weird how they didn't include some other prominent games.

I remember I got mine at Target in the winter of 2017 as a leftover before they discontinued them. Did what everyone else did and played it for a couple of hours and put it back in the box. Honestly hoping for an opportunity for a long trip or something to bring it along to play when I get back to home base at night or what have you.

[@christiangomez2496]

Sometimes (at least a few years ago) I'd go to my cousins' and play some Earthbound on the SNES mini

[@KristianSandvikk]

since the snes classic ed controller uses nunchuck connector and works in the wii controllers nunchuck port, will a nunchuck work in the snes classic ed?

[@griffinpresnell6747]

This console was actually how I played through Mario rpg and most of ff6, making it the only classic mini console I actually used

[@greenfinger8690]

I'm coming for you, Scott.
