Out of the games on it the ones I haven't played are Super Punch Out, Secret of Mana, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, and Final Fantasy III (6 right?). Super Punch Out doesn't sound appealing to me at all so I guess that would get my vote as the one I wouldn't miss.

All of those are solidly fun games. Super Punch Out sounds dumb if you've never played it before, but is legit fun.

DKC happens to have one of the best soundtracks in all of gaming. DKC 2 has another one. They are seriously amazing soundtracks that were kinda nuts to have on an snes game.

A lot of SNES games have fantastic soundtracks. Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Yoshi's Island, Star Fox, etc, etc, etc. The S-SMP was amazing.

I will legitimately check these out later, when I'm at work; I never gave much thought to the music of these games because I rare(heh)ly played them.

Yes...Ha ha ha...YES!



listen to those + ice cave chant from the first game and to forest interlude, stickerbush symphony, life in the mines, snakey chantey and bayou boogie from dkc2. both games are at or very near the top of game soundtracks, not just of their era but of all time.

also northern hemispheres from dkc1, while not being an astounding track by itself, works so loving good in the context of the first level you hear it in, it's just monumentally impressive.

I picked up an SD2SNES for cheaper than this will be selling for and loaded it with everything and more than this will have.

Still going to buy it because it's the only legitimate way to play Star Fox 2 which doesn't play in the SD2SNES and I want to see how it stacks up to the repro cart.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
The real reason I want an NES classic and SNES classic more than the actual real systems or a retropi, honestly, is the interface.

The interface with its quaint and simplistic horizontal list of games and four save state spots per is really charming. Actually, has anybody come out with a retropi interface that mimics this one?

I think someone actually has the real ROM/rip/whatever you want to call it from the NES Mini, but aside from that, there's this, which looks pretty sharp:

You can even add in the NES Classic background music (I prefer the NES Remix Title Theme through) through a separate script.

Has Nintendo shown what the interface from the SNES classic is? Is it just a re-skinned version of the NES Classic?

Press have only been allowed to take a look at the physical hardware so far, not plugged in. No previews of the UI yet.

I assume it'll be very similar, maybe tweaked to suit horizontal boxart.

I already owned a SD2SNES and still want a Mini due to the fact that the Mini has almost every non-playable game of interest for the SD2SNES. Starfox 1/2, SMW 2 Yoshi's Island, and Super Mario RPG.

Specifically I'm curious how long it'll take to get the updated ROM of Starfox 2 dumped.

It uses a SuperFX2 chip and is the only worthwhile released game to do so. For fairly accurate emulation, that chip's requirements are higher, so on some older or lower-powered devices like the original Wii or Raspberry Pi Zero, it's not possible to emulate the game properly without dropping frames; on a PC, though, it's fine.

Apparently one of the reasons for the FX2 chip usage was to compress the graphics, because ROM chips were crazy expensive and it was cheaper to put a co-processor in instead.

There's an amazing remix of this in DKC: Tropical Freeze that's only at a short room at the beginning of the level. There was even a bramble level in that game where it should have been used.:argh:

That was really baffling, I have to imagine it's because David Wise feels like Stickerbrush has too large of a reputation and didn't want it to overshadow whatever level it was in?

For real though the SNES got the best version of pre-2000 SimCity. It also got the worst version of 2000 but drat they tried.
