          It's a Super Nintendo with Super Nintendo games pre-installed, as opposed to a NES with NES games preinstalled. They're two completely different consoles from two different generations of gaming.

      I'd say better. You're getting arguable / demonstrably better games (e.g DKC, EarthBound, FF3(6), ALttP, Mario Kart, Mario RPG) - but you're also getting a game that was never released (Star Fox 2) so you're getting something unique.

    • britta on 27/06/2017 - 09:37

      Subjective, some would say the NES was more consistent in some ways. SNES has alot of nostalgia attached to it which over time has made it somewhat overrated though still very good.

    • thirdwill on 27/06/2017 - 11:33

      NES classic is 8 bit. Super Nintendo is 16 bit.

  • mr_me450 on 27/06/2017 - 09:31

    Bit dodgy the AC adapter is required to play but has to be purchased separately. Preordered anyway though; can't resist some classic SNES action ;)

    • Online Bathroomware on 27/06/2017 - 09:32
      +1

      This would be excluded to reduce packaging size (thus reduce delivery cost for Nintendo) and plenty of people will have spare USB adaptors anyway.

      • mr_me450 on 27/06/2017 - 09:37

        That's fine if you can use any USB adapter but it's yet to be confirmed what the output is on the official adapter. I doubt it will be as easy as plugging it into any USB adapter you have lying around the house. In theory a 12W iPad adapter might be ok, but I very much doubt a 5W iPhone adapter would work with it.

        • willsy01 on 27/06/2017 - 09:59

          A standard 1amp iPhone charger works fine with the Classic NES. I'd be surprised if it were different for the SNES.

        • AssociatedHasquarl @ EB Games Australia on 27/06/2017 - 10:09

          The NES Classic only required a 5W AC adapter. Worked fine with any type (12W, 45W, etc.). I'd imagine it's the same for this SNES Classic.

        • mr_me450 on 27/06/2017 - 10:58

          @Hasquarl: Oh cool, well that's great if that's the case. I still think any item required for a product to function should be included in the packaging as standard though.

        • Harold Halfprice on 27/06/2017 - 13:32

          @Hasquarl:

          Yeah, I plug my NES Classic into the TV..

    • Zenyatta on 27/06/2017 - 09:36
      +7

      This has been Nintendo's policy for a while (since later generations of the DS), and I totally agree with it. They reduce the cost of the console and make the adapter available for purchase. A lot of people already have lots of spare adapters lying around, and this is because every damn thing comes with a new one. The DS is a good example, because a lot of new DS purchasers already had one. It creates a lot of unneccesary e-waste, and more companies should do it. It obviously only works if, say the cost of the adapter is $20, that they reduce the price of the console by $20.

      • mr_me450 on 27/06/2017 - 09:40

        With the DS it made sense because adapters from the previous generation were still compatible for those upgrading. Not all USB adapters are made the same which means even if you have one lying around the house it may not work with the SNES classic.

      • Circly on 27/06/2017 - 09:48
        +1

        It's stupid. And the 2ds xl includes an adaptor so they are going back against their theory with that console.

      • Daabido on 27/06/2017 - 10:28

        I agree with the e-waste argument but there is no way in the world the adapter costs anywhere near $20 to Ninentdo. I read once that the cost of manufacture to consumer can often be sevenfold, so an additional adapter is probably worth a buck of two to Nintendo.

        • Zenyatta on 27/06/2017 - 10:29

          Yeah I agree, I was just using $20 as an example, but the amount doesn't really matter as long as the same amount comes off the retail price of the console.

        • [Deactivated] on 27/06/2017 - 10:55
          +2

          @Zenyatta: Except it doesnt. It still costs the full price. You just dont get an adapter.

        • ONEMariachi on 27/06/2017 - 11:57

          @Orpheus: Probably, but the cost of the Snes is pretty damn reasonable

    • IceCreamBandit on 27/06/2017 - 09:37
      +5

      A lot of new TVs have USB ports, so I imagine like the Chromecast, the SNES classic edition should work off those USB ports for power. Saves using another plug if you have a compatible TV.

      • ONEMariachi on 27/06/2017 - 11:59

        That will depend on the power output of those usb ports and the requirements of the snes though. I have an older tv that can only power usbs for watching tv shows/ movies but can't handle a HDD for instance.

      • Zenyatta on 27/06/2017 - 10:03

      • PainToad on 27/06/2017 - 11:23

        Emulating the N64 takes a lot more work and a lot more grunt. Even the RPi3 can't handle 99% of games at Nintendo's level of quality. I highly doubt there'll be a N64 Mini, esp at this price.

        • ONEMariachi on 27/06/2017 - 12:01
          +2

          it will happen, jsut maybe not for a whhile, and you're right, likely will be a bit more expensive. Honestly though, if it came with the best 20 games of N64 I'd happily pay $200, $250 if it came with 4 controllers.

        • dufflover on 28/06/2017 - 06:35

          Does anyone else see the irony of needing a lot of computing power to emulate essentially an ancient computer?

          @PainToad: I don't think you get the point then.

          In the end it has nothing to do with how hard emulation is, but the fact it's happening at all. Put it another way, where does the n64 sit in the terms of computing power by today's standards?
          It's like striving to improve phone cameras only for people to Instagram filter the hell out all the detail anyway.

        • bwen on 28/06/2017 - 08:32

          @dufflover:

          The difficulty with emulation isn't down to processing power. N64 emulation on a powerful x86 architecture system still isn't as fluid as what you would expect.

          Detail explanations are long and boring so I'll let Stackoverflow shed some light: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/471973/what-makes-buildi…

          Completely irrelevant.

          Raw power differences are only one factor. The other is how different the architecture is between systems.

  • ets27 on 27/06/2017 - 09:37
