GREATREDSPIRIT'S PROFILE

I'll bring my Poison slammer!

Actually 6666 is a reference to the Star Wars Expanded Universe novel where the evil clone of Emperor Palpatine orders Darth Lightsabers to execute Order 6666 which is where The New Empire flies the Dark Sun Crusher into the center of the galaxy and destroys the universe and only Luke and the gang can save the day. It ends when Chewie dies by somebody dropping a moon on him.

The best controller solution is the 8bitdo SNES bluetooth controller w/ the bluetooth SNES controller reciver. Who needs any stinkin' cables?

is what I would say if I had this setup and could vouch that it works but I don't have the money to spend $120 for wireless SNES controllers


e: now lemme tell you about that time I spent $250 on Chrono Trigger with some of the feelies included

There's value in a plug in play, streamlined experience that just works. A friend of mine got something like a retropie or something and half the time was setting it up and getting the damn thing to work. Plus a pre-curated list of games helps with analysis paralysis and not picking fantastic games like Super Monkey Adventure (Famicom game, but translate to appropriate SNES game at your leisure)


Anyways it was officially announced in Japan too. For the curious here's the game loadout w/ differences:

I don't have high hopes over the quantity produced. Nintendo has said they'll produce more but beyond 2017 it doesn't sound like they have plans to continue the product. From this Kotaku article:

Nintendo
We aren’t providing specific numbers, but we will produce significantly more units of Super NES Classic Edition than we did of NES Classic Edition.

Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition is currently planned to ship from Sept. 29 until the end of calendar year 2017. At this time, we have nothing to announce regarding any possible shipments beyond this year.

Our long-term efforts are focused on delivering great games for the Nintendo Switch system and continuing to build momentum for that platform, as well as serving the more than 63 million owners of Nintendo 3DS family systems. We are offering Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition in special recognition of the fans who show tremendous interest our classic content.

e: at least the controller cables are longer, a whole five feet! That's two feet more than the NES classic controller cables! And that's terrible.
