Is the SNES mini going to have the same hilariously short baby controller cables like Nintendo thinks we all live in Tokyo studio apartments?

It's a joke, they're not USB cables. They're not Wii cables either this time. The ports are miniature versions of the original SNES ports.

poo poo, I don't know. It's almost certainly a proprietary cable two feet long. I was just commiserating :smith:

Have you tried the higan emulator? It's the most accurate one. And having just recently looked up info about it, the dev himself (byuu) said that he's been actively working on issues and resolving them quickly to very accurate levels. This is assuming that you're not just experiencing PC issues, I don't remember how intensive bsnes is.

I have a kaby lake i7 with a dedicated vid card and 16 ram, I'd doubt it's a PC issue. Granted, I haven't tried it since I just bought it on cartridge.

On the plus side, Nintendo have clearly learned something from the NES Mini; The SNES one is just straight up including two controllers instead of releasing standalone ones at a ratio of about one per twenty consoles.

However, because it's Nintendo, the cables will once again be 3 inches long

True story: I got one of the NES Classics for my son last Christmas. Just lined up at GameStop and got lucky. Then my best friend's wife told me she'd been wanting to get her husband one but couldn't find one anywhere. Since my son didn't even know about its existence, I split it with her as a gift to my best friend from all of us.

Now every time I go over to his house I see it sitting on a bookshelf collecting dust, not hooked up to anything, and I want to murder him. I've never seen him play it, ever.

I'm pretty certain that the SNES Classic is primarily being produced to get Nintendo's IP into the spotlight again. After how enormous the NES Classic was in the mainstream, there's way more value in getting people talking/reminiscing about Nintendo than turning a small profit on a novelty console. It'll dovetail nicely into NESflix next year and I'm betting they're hoping it'll move Switch units among people who weren't able to grab a NES/SNES Classic.

much like how people thought Earthbound was a no-go for VC due to "music rights problems" I guess it turns out Star Fox and Yoshi's Island being left out on VC was not because of an FX chip rights issue. Earthbound was really just out of laziness while the SNES Classic games were probably just held back to put on this thing, same with Star Fox 2

No, they're Classic Controller from what the web site says. But if that's the case, the extension cables for the NES Mini should work too.

The Retro Receiver for the NES Classic would probably work, too. It supports the extra buttons on emulators, so it'll probably work out of the box or with a firmware update on the SNES Classic.

The system visibly does not have CC ports, which are blocky and U-shaped. Instead it has proprietary, flat ports mimicking the original SNES ports (but smaller). They're just calling the controllers "SNES Classic Controller" for naming consistency. Wii classics won't work unless someone puts out an adapter.

I might as well just play on any emulator if I'm going to use a different controller. Most of the appeal of the package comes from the accurate feeling controllers for me. The NES Classic ones felt pretty much exactly the same as the originals.

They're on there somewhere, unless they're releasing two new products called the Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro.

I guess they could be in the back? Because those front ports are absolutely definitely not CC ports.

The front ports are just engravings, there's nothing behind there. Look at the closeups.

The pictures they've released haven't showed the right side or back, so they have to be on one of the two.

Here's Nintendo's site about it. It also looks like it's got 4 convex buttons on the controller instead of 2 concave/2 convex, but that might just be the lighting.

doesnt make much design sense if they are at the side. the nes classic had them at the right ports.

wonder if it is CC to clear out that club nintendo backlog they have and they just come with snes mini adapters or something.

Of all the people I know who own an NES classic, none of them continue to play it outside of the "wow this is cool" phase. These are high functioning knick knacks.

Maybe the two front ports are for the replica SNES controllers, and then there's a CC port in the back for alternatives or for your third Secret of Mana controller? The mystery continues.

I already own almost all of the games on the SNES classic, but I no longer have my copy of Street Fighter or FFIII and obviously don't have Star Fox 2.
I'd probably play through most of the games at least once and play a good deal of SF rather than buying it on switch or whatever.

I'd play it at least as much as $80 worth of most current games which is less than two. Price per fun seems good.

Lol at myNintendo giving out anything physical. They've been such a disaster compared to club Nintendo. The Switch rewards have been coming soon since launch. By the time they let me use them my points will be expired.
