J’adore, c’est comme quand j’étais jeune! C’est sûr que le graphique n’est pas vraiment adapté pour nos téléviseurs d’aujourd’hui mais comme je ne suis pas très pointilleuse sur les détails, ça me va parfaitement! Les jeux inclus sont les meilleurs de l’époque, très heureuse de jouer à Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Kart, alouette! Je le recommande aux nostalgiques! Je l’ai acheté usagé en très bon état à moins de 200$, à plein prix, je ne l’aurais pas acheté.

I was so hyped when they announced this. I had already collected the NES classic edition so this was a necessary get for me. It comes with 2 controllers (big upgrade compared to the NES classic edition, which only came with 1 controller), 1 HDMI, and 1 power micro-usb plug and cable. The controllers are pretty much the same except for the fact that my hands have grown since I last played a SNES system. The 21 games that are included are Contra III: The Alien Wars, Donkey Kong Country, EarthBound, F-Zero, Final Fantasy VI (one of my favourites), Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Course, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (another personal favourite), Mega Man X (one of the best SNES games ever), Secret of Mana, Star Fox, Star Fox 2 (never released in NA before), Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting, Super Castlevania IV, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario RPG (another favourite of mine), Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Super Punch-Out!!, and Yoshi's Island. Some of these games I've spent hours playing as a kid. It's been super fun just to relive my childhood. Very nostalgic. If you can get your hands on one for a decent price, I would recommend getting it!
I can't wait for the N64 classic edition to be released!

pour jouer avec, ce n`est pas juste pour les enfants, les grands enfants aiment ce jeu aussi.
Oui c`est vrai, j`ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à jouer avec mes enfants quand ils étaient jeunes. Mais celui que j`ai commandé ne fonctionne pas, j`ai demandé à ma fille qui en a acheté un chez Wallmart au fête et le sien fonctionne à merveille, mais moi je l`ai essayé il y a 2 semaine à peine, je n`ai pas pu le faire avant. Comme on a eu un hiver rigoureux on est pas tous chanceux, j`ai fait 2 chutes sur la glace la première sur le dos, je me suis assomé la tête sur la glace et un mois après j`ai fait une autre chute et celle la je ne me porte pas encore bien, car cette chute a été et est toujours difficile , je suis tombée encore sur la glace mais cette fois ce n`était pas sur le dos mais sur le côté gauche et je me suis fracturée des côtes et à mon âge les os ne se réparent pas comme quand on est jeune, à + de 65 ans je peux vous dire que les soudures pour les os c`est très long avant que les os soient soudés solides, les côtes 5 et 6 ne sont pas placées comme on le voudraient et elles passent sous l`omoplate gauche et je vous jure que la sensation que ca fait quand les côtes se frottent sous l`omoplate, c`est pour cela que je n`ai pas pu l`essayer avant, ce n`est pas moi qui ai inventée l`hiver, quant à moi je pourrais m`en passer. C`est pour cela que je veux vous le retourner et il n`est pas comme le mini baby, ce n`est pas la même compagnie qui l`a fabriqué, et je voudrais l`échanger contre un que Amazon vende, il est conforme comme c`était écrit dans l`article qui était dans l`annonce. Si je peux vous le retourner et l`échanger contre un que vous Amazon vous vendez. J`attend une réponse et si ce n`est pas possible et bien je le mettrai au recyclage et j`en achèterai un autre au fête chez Wallmart. J`attend de vos nouvelles au plus vite je ne veux plus me casser la tête avec ce jeu qui ne fonctionne pas, j`ai assez de mes côtes cassées à endurer avant que la douleur soit complètement disparue et le médecin m`a dit d`être patiente et je commence à n`en manquer de patience avec ce jeu.

I've been using SNES emulators for many years and they all have shortcomings. This one works nearly flawlessly.
Here are some details about how this differs from other emulators:
1. Emulation is nearly flawless. That means sprite layers, audio, responsiveness and framerates are perfect. I only say "nearly" because I haven't played through every SNES game completely, and since this is technically an emulator (not using original Ricoh CPU and chipset) there is bound to be some difference. But I have tested many games - games that others thought worked fine on SNES9X etc. but I found unacceptable. Everything I have tried works perfectly.
2. Instead of loading a Rasp Pi or other computer and using it's (sometimes) clunky interface, this machine boots instantly to simple, fast game load screen. Don't underestimate the importance of haste and ease of use. Gaming is supposed to be fun - not just a novelty hacking project.
3. Controllers are original. It's difficult to overstate the importance of that. There are thousands of knock off SNES controllers out there, and none come close to the perfection of this controller. I could probably fly a space shuttle or perform brain surgery if a SNES controller was my way of doing so.
4. While the Classic ships with only those 21 (mostly good) games, Nintendo has given us all the most wonderful easter egg by making it EXCEPTIONALLY EASY to hack, allowing you to add ANY OTHER GAME YOU WANT. I did it in about 15 minutes, and I am prone to headaches with such things. No ugly modified OS - same as stock, but with more games - complete with box art just like the stock games. Gorgeous.
I'm not a Nintendo fanboy, but I do think the SNES is peak of console gaming, and even though it's sad to think that the game industry is so creatively depleted and overrun with adolescent fantasy violence that we are satisfied to hand them money for simply re-releasing their old console, the fact is this system blows all the new systems away. If Nintendo gave up on new systems and just kept manufacturing and supporting the SNES Classic, that would be a major improvement in gaming.

Now You're Playing With Nostalgic Power
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017Edition: SNESVerified Purchase
This game console consist of 21 built in games (more if you count Kirby All Stars as 8 games) of the classic 16-bit Super Nintendo era with a few extra options to boot. All games I've played ran very smoothy like it's original counterparts, and all are heavy hitters with no fillers games.
Included in the package is the unreleased Star Fox 2 which I'll review separately at the end.
Unlike the original Super Nintendo where you have to use a RF cable and an old tube TV (unless you buy an adapter) to play; this system includes a modernized HDMI cable output, which i think is a major selling point (along with all games conveniently placed in a single neatly packed location)
-Hardware
System is very small and can fit in the palm of your hand.
Has HDMI out as mentioned before and is compatible with most, if not all modern HD TVs
It has a micro SD plug for power (DC in). Power adapter is included
Comes with two controllers. Very similar to the original SNES controller except the Y and X buttons are more concave in the original, this model has a more matte instead of glossy finish to them. and the D-pad is more textured for better grip. The included controllers is also 2 feet shorter and has the same plug as the Wii Classic controller (which you can use instead if you prefer). With the Wii Classic controller you can hit the home button to switch games/go to home menu instead of having to hit reset button on the system. Controller port on the system has a dust cover in the shape of the original Super Nintendo ports
The eject button doesn't do anything and only there for display
Setup is very simple as it's just plug-n-play with no software updates, or have to connect to the internet.
Game manuals for each game are included via QR code which you scan with your phone which brings you to a PDF
-Extra options include:
4 suspend points where you can save any game at any time
A rewind feature, where you can go back in time up to a few minutes depending on the game. RPGs give you more time while action games gives you 30-40secs. Great for practicing a segment of a game you're stuck on, or do a simple retry when doing a risky reckless move
You can select from a variety of borders/frames and visual filters (Pixel Perfect, CRT, or 4:3)
-Value
Cheaper than purchasing each game individually on Nintendo eshop for Wii, Wii U or 3DS as they can go around $8 average. I believe Earthbound on the eshop is going for $10 right now.Some games not on the Virtual console like StarFox, Yoshi's Island and Star Fox 2. If you want Yoshi's Island you have to get the GBA port which is very inferior to the SNES version
If you go the original route and buy the original console; some game cartridge are hard to find and can be expensive. For example, Earthbound is going for $200+ on ebay. As mentioned before you need an old compatible TV with RF connector or have to buy an separate adapter to play on a modern TV. Seeing all games are in a compact convenient location you don't have to switch out games physically and/or blow on the game cartridge for it to work. Also you don't have to hunt them down individually via ebay, criagslist, garage sales, or flea markets/swap meets.
Another route is downloading ROMs, but i do not condone that since it's piracy and is illegal in most cases. Also all games on this system feel and sound like the original with no glitches, which some ROMs do not have.
Currently the system is hard to find in most areas, but Nintendo says they'll produce more in the coming months, best to hold off and not pay ridiculous scalper prices.
Overall, very good selection of games. If you wish to complete most of them all; it will provide you hundreds of hours of fun. Super Mario RPG, and Final Fantasy III alone is already 20+ hour games each for the core campaign. I'd say very good deal if you have any nostalgia for the Super NES and want to re-live your childhood. For those born or started playing after the 16bit era, also a good deal as it showcases 21 solid AAA games in that time period.
---StarFox 2 Review
First thing to note is that you have to play the first level of Star Fox 1 to unlock Starfox 2 which doesn't take more than 2mins tops
Starfox 2, unlike Starfox 1 is non-linear as in you have to manage territories (planets) while trying to defeat the main boss. The more you capture the easier the final boss is and vice versa. When the enemy capture a territory they'll launch missiles on your main ship. If your main ship sustain too much damage it's game over. So it's a lot of micro managing especially in the higher difficulties
Gameplay changes is that you can turn into a walking tank in certain areas, which has high damage, but low speed. Also you can move your ship 360 degrees giving you more freedom on the map.
Very nice addition in the package.

Super Mario RPG, and Final Fantasy III alone is already 20+ hour games each for the core campaign. I'd say very good deal if you have any nostalgia for the Super NES and want to re-live your childhood. For those born or started playing after the 16bit era, also a good deal as it showcases 21 solid AAA games in that time period.
---StarFox 2 Review
First thing to note is that you have to play the first level of Star Fox 1 to unlock Starfox 2 which doesn't take more than 2mins tops
Starfox 2, unlike Starfox 1 is non-linear as in you have to manage territories (planets) while trying to defeat the main boss. The more you capture the easier the final boss is and vice versa. When the enemy capture a territory they'll launch missiles on your main ship. If your main ship sustain too much damage it's game over. So it's a lot of micro managing especially in the higher difficulties
Gameplay changes is that you can turn into a walking tank in certain areas, which has high damage, but low speed. Also you can move your ship 360 degrees giving you more freedom on the map.
Very nice addition in the package.

Here's what you need to know
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2019Edition: SNESVerified Purchase
I've been reading through the reviews, and it's amazing how many people ordered this system without doing any research. Hopefully this review explaining the differences will be helpful to those that didn't grow up with the Super NES.
There are two versions of the Super Nintendo Classic that get sold on this website. One is the US version, and one is the European version. The US version has a red bar across the front of the box that says "Super Nintendo Entertainment System," and features the Nintendo Seal of Quality on the bottom left of the box, with an ESRB rating of "T" on the bottom right. There is a picture of the console on the left front side of the box. The controllers are gray with light and dark purple-colored buttons.
The European version's box doesn't have an ESRB rating on it, and they call it the "Nintendo Classic Mini" on the front of the box. The controllers have multi-colored buttons, and the Super NES looks nothing like the original US version.
If you buy the European version, the only difference in usability here in the US is that it DOES NOT COME WITH AN AC ADAPTER! However, this is easily remedied by using a Micro USB power supply that you already own for your old cell phone, or by purchasing one (they are a few bucks on this website). Personally, I like the look of the European version better. The European version was much easier to find/purchase, and many resellers loaded up on foreign versions of websites like this one, who allowed you to buy consoles repeatedly. If your goal is to enjoy the games, and you own a Micro USB power adapter, it shouldn't matter which version you buy.
Both versions have the same games, and both versions have the same controllers (just different colors for the buttons). Both versions work in the US. I have both (bought from Amazon US and Amazon Spain/France/Germany), and they work equally. All arrived in relatively good condition. The only notable difference is the Micro USB power adapter. If you want a power adapter in the box, BUY THE US VERSION! (Note: The US version might cost you more, since it is slightly harder to find. But both are plentiful, as there are millions of collectors sitting on unopened SNES and NES Classics.)
You should also be aware that these units were never factory sealed by Nintendo, even when brand new. With practice, it is very easy to open the box, use the unit, and return it to its original packaging. I have given the Euro version as a gift after testing the unit/inserting one of my spare Micro USB AC adapters, and the gift recipient had no idea that I had opened the box. If someone is advertising their unit as "factory sealed," they are lying.
You can tell if the unit has been used by looking at the controllers. A used unit also won't have a setup screen when you first plug in and connect the unit to your TV, as you must complete the setup screen to use the system for the first time.
The other variant is cheap knockoff versions. If you compare your box and unit to various websites/videos that show the actual system unboxing, you can determine if your unit is real or fake. If it has more than 21 games on it, it is likely either fake or modified from the original version. This may or may not be a bad thing, but you should be aware of it.
I hope this is helpful to those who aren't as familiar with the SNES Classic. And I hope third-party sellers will be honest about which system they are selling, and whether said system is used or not. But now you have the information needed to know the truth.
The European version has the same games, but has a slightly different look to the system and controllers. The European version does not come with an AC adapter, so you have to provide your own micro USB power block. The reason many sellers have the Euro version for sale is that it has been much easier to find/order. I have both, and they both work great. If you want Plug and Play, make sure you are buying the US version.

They did not check to see if this was in default condition

The SNES Classic I received was modded, so instead of the games I was looking forward to, it had a fairly random selection (most of which was for different systems, and ones I had already played). Most importantly, no Star Fox 2. Please check to make sure that it is unchanged BEFORE shipping, please.
EDIT: Turns out the original games were on it, just in a different folder from what it opened on. Still seems odd to ship a modified product regardless, but I suppose no harm was done, so bumping the review up.

Todo lo que necesita saber.

Compré la consola a Amazon México, el producto es original y no falta ningún componente o accesorio. La entrega se hizo a tiempo y el producto llegó en perfectas condiciones. Te recomiendo comprar este producto de Amazon México en lugar de otros vendedores si lo que te preocupa es que tu producto sea original.
*Notas para el comprador:*
*Si decide comprar el producto de algún otro vendedor, asegúrese de que tenga garantía o devolución antes de hacer la transacción.
Note lo siguiente una vez que reciba el producto: El empaque de la consola debe contener lo siguiente: 1 SNES Classic, 2 controles alámbricos, 1 cable USB tipo micro y su cargador de pared, 1 cable HDMI, y un manual de usuario con un póster impreso en el reverso del manual. Los contenidos deberán venir envueltos y los cables sujetos. (Si su empaque contiene todo, lo más seguro es que sí es original).
Una vez que haya verificado que contenga los artículos anteriores, conecte su consola a una televisión.
*Aún pueden haber pequeñas señas de que el producto no es original:
Una vez encendida su consola, debe elegir su idioma de interfaz. Ya que haya seleccionado el idioma preferido, la interfaz de la consola debería aparecer junto con la lista de juegos incluidos.
- Verifique que no hayan errores en los títulos de los juegos, por ejemplo: “YoshiIsland” (incorrecto) en lugar de “Yoshi’s Island” (correcto).
- Verifique que el fondo de la interfaz (detrás de la lista de juegos) sea de color negro con dibujos en color morado.
- Debajo de la lista de juegos, notará que hay una lista (o barra de imágenes) más pequeña. Todas las imágenes de esa barra tienen que estar alineadas, ninguna notablemente más grande que otra *a excepción de la imagen del juego “Earthbound” (Esa es un poco más grande que las demás).*
- Finalmente, notará que en la parte baja de la interfaz en su pantalla dice en letras grandes: “SUPER NINTENDO” con unas pequeñas letras debajo que supone que dicen “Entertainment System”...
Estas letras deben ser de un tono gris oscuro, con un gris claro de fondo. Deben ser un poco borrosas, suficientemente para que las letras “Entertainment System” (Debajo de “SUPER NINTENDO”) sean completamente ilegibles.
Eso es todo lo que podrá notar a simple vista, pero también puede buscar videos en Youtube como referencia. Les recomiendo buscar videos de demostración de la interfaz o de comparación entre consolas.
Un canal de Youtube de confianza es “GameXplain”, ahí podrán encontrar videos suyos demostrando la interfaz y el producto físico.
Si su producto cumple con todo lo anterior, es seguro asumir que es original.
También tomé fotos de referencia, en caso de que las necesiten.
Espero que les sea de utilidad esta reseña y que resuelva sus dudas con respecto a la originalidad de su producto. Suerte!
