Best super nintendo games & accessories according to redditors

Edit: I badly screwed up the title. It should read, "Upgrading from Composite to S-Video", not "Component". Component would only be available on this system with an RGB mod, and then an HD Retrovision SNES Component cable.

I have a 2009-era Sharp TV with one S-Video input, so I decided to try it. Overall, I'd say it was worth $8. I wouldn't say that it's immediately noticeable, but when you look closely, you can definitely see sharper lines around big color changes. I can also see each pixel more clearly, and you can see the Nintendo 64's anti-aliasing and horizontal blur at work.

Here's what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LE3EAIK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

I’m not a normal poster on this sub so hopefully I formatted this properly. I was browsing for a couple retro styled wireless controllers so my girlfriend and I could play some of the Classic games that come with Nintendo Online. This one was exactly what I had in mind and I noticed that it’s on a pretty good sale so I thought I would share.

This is an NES style (no analog sticks) Bluetooth controller with shoulder buttons, a home button, and 2 extra turbo face buttons. It connects wirelessly with the Switch without an adapter. It works with the Switch Online Classic games and it shows up as a normal controller so you can also use it with regular switch games that don’t require analog sticks or motion controls.

It can also connect to the NES/SNES Classics wirelessly if you use the Bluetooth version of the 8bitdo Retro Reciver.

I have asked a few random questions, but none have been chosen.

I really want to hear Jeff's opinion about the upcoming $50 Super Nintendo game Unholy Night: The Darkness Hunter.

Edit: Jeff finally answered one of mine! Yay!

Yeah, uhm

https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-RetroPort-SNES-Cartridge-Adapter-Nintendo/dp/B007A57C7W

so...........i would emulate first. Get a USB SNEScontroller and try some games.

If you love it and can't get enough I'd look into getting original hardware. But if you don't have that need to play it all on original hardware on a CRT TV then emulation is a good place to start.

I'll just leave this here then. http://www.amazon.com/RetroPORT-SNES-Adapter-RETROBIT-Nintendo-DS/dp/B007A57C7W

Top right is standard OEM composite cable, bottom right is nice new s-video cable w/out the composite video sitting unterminated from Amazon @ http://amzn.to/29Fx78x for only $7.50! Compatible with SNES, N64 and GCN! Honestly got a bigger jump in quality than I expected... Ordering more of these now!

GameCube and Game Boy Player is the standard setup. The startup disc for the Game Boy Player can be a bit pricey these days, but you can softmod the GameCube and use the free Game Boy Interface software as an alternative.

From there, you can get an HDMI adapter and HDMI capture card (lots of those to choose from). Or if you need to save some money, a good S-Video capture device like the IO Data GV-USB2, an S-Video splitter, and a GameCube S-Video cable will still get you a pretty decent-looking capture. Either way, set it up in OBS and you're good to go.

I'd suggest also getting an SNES controller adapter. I find it way nicer than using the GBA as a controller. There's also one for Wii Classic Controllers if you prefer.

On Amazon, it is a newer SNES game made in 2017, seems the cartridge is designed to work on the Super Famicom as well.

You should get svideo instead! But eBay and Amazon work well.

This one works well

Gam3Gear SNES Nintendo N64 Gamecube S Video Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-GNRAbA17YEAR

Those new mini consoles that have like 40-50 games built in. They’re modern versions of older consoles. Megadrive, Super Nintendo (SNES), PS1

SNES one

Megadrive one

PlayStation one

This is the case that the GameStop email was mentioning about. It’s quite pricy at $29.99, and it comes with 6 game faceplates: Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Link to the Past, F-Zero, Super Metroid and Star Fox 2.

They're up for pre-order at Amazon.

off course, you need a special screwdriver easily available on Amazon

Wrong type. I bought this one a few years back for S video. It works on SNES, N64 and Gamecube...

Wtf? it's been in stock in the UK for a while now at a discounted price wonder why it's not selling out here like it is in America?

EDIT: I say discounted price but if you convert it into dollars than not really lmao (god damn UK VAT)

Just like the NESCE, Prima had a tie-in Playing With Super Power book that launched with the SNESCE. There is a HC and SC edition.

I don’t own it; I can’t speak to its contents. But I’m sure there are lots of reviews to consult.

Edit: Link fixed (I think)

This cable is a true s-video cable and it works great, much better than composite if your TV supports it.

https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Nintendo-Gamecube-Video-Cable-Super/dp/B00LE3EAIK

Alternatively Gamecube games look perfect on a Wii over component too, the cable and console are both available for cheap. This doesn't resolve for Gameboy Player unfortunately, wish we had a better solution for that.

This controller is junk but I believe it is the cheapest way to get a USB adapter. It worked for me via Windows Retroarch so I would imagine it would work for retropie as well.

I got this. My wammy doesn't work, but no idea if that's cause of the guitar itself or the adapter.

No, this was a SNES controller, with toggle-able turbo and auto-fire for each button. Even without those cheats, it was precise and reliable.
I hope this link works:

if not, google "ascii pad snes" and you will know.

Not every third party controller is a Mad Catz. I was thinking of the AsciiPad.

I bought this one.

I’ve seen the original on eBay for like 65.

You don't mention your reason to want to use a clone console instead of a real snes. Price? Game Price vs Roms? Ability to play on an HDTV?

As far as I know at this point in time, there is no "good" snes clones, you'll get just as much input lag if not more then using one of the good PC emulator. There is some upcoming FPGA console that should supports snes, but at the price point it will be, a real SNES will be cheaper.

Edit: if you actually mean https://www.amazon.com/16-bit-Entertainment-System-Super-Nintendo/dp/B00QW2TBWS , never used it but I can give you an educated review.

It's crap. Shitty emulation, doesn't supports flash cart, shitty controller, the output are the same that are already possible with a real snes. Get a real Snes instead, cut the 2 plastic tab inside the cartridge slot if you need to play Super Famicom games (google it, real easy).

If you have enough money, get a decent CRT with Component input, and get the Component cable from HDRetrovision, best quality picture you'll get out a snes with no lag without having to go the PVM Sony Monitor/RGB route.

TL/DR: Clone console are either crap and for casual play or quite expensive (and unreleased atm). Real Snes on CRT is the way to go for speedrunning.

Amazon.fr is up again with stock - not preorder status anymore!
https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B073BVHY3F/

they sell these on amazon, btw.

this model is the 2.4ghz wireless usb one, though. no bluetooth support, and only works with the controller port on the nes/snes classic.

there are bluetooth models - these new ones come with a bluetooth receiver that plugs into the snes.

Go with the 8bitdo sn30 2.4g. Works like a champ.

The two most popular cases are the RDS case and the PDP case. I don’t own the PDP case but I did research it before purchasing the RDS case. Both cases hold everything that’s included. The RDS case holds the controllers in the top while the PDP case has dedicated cutouts in the foam for the two controllers. The RDS case is superior for storage because it has extra room after storing the basic items (console, controllers, power cord/adapter, HDMI cable). Most people tend to use that extra storage space for controller extension cables. The RDS case is also $10 cheaper on amazon.

To sum it up...

If storage and price are your main concerns, go with RDS.

RDS Case

If you don’t care about price, want a hard plastic shell, foam cut-outs for your controllers, and prefer the aesthetics of the PDP case then go with that one. Some people really like the look of it with the swappable game cards on the front. To each their own!

PDP Case

And excellent book but only covers the first party titles on the snes classic so no final fantasy or contra coverage.

its completely capable of playing nes games you can even buy and adapter to play nes games on a snes and you can get one to play genesis games on a snes too i dont know how well they work because i have all the systems so its useless for me but its completely possible.

You can get the Super UFO 8. It is a flash/backup cart and allows you to place super famicom games on top.
https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-SNES-Super-Backup-Cartridge-Adapter/dp/B007O3MWVG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503320273&sr=8-1&keywords=super+ufo

>but I payed 5 bucks for this one

Yikes. That cart is in shambles. It's still salvageable but wow, what a mess.

Read up on cleaning contact pins here. Finally based on the first picture, I'd clean the console as well.

Edit: if 90% alcohol and swabs don't fix the issue, I advising purchasing some Mr Clean Magic Erasers and buff out the tarnish and any remaining rust from the contacts. Invest in the security screw bits so you can get into your console and games.

Then ignore GCVideo unless you feel like spending the cash for a new 'Cube.

Any old RCA>HDMI box is going to get you to about the same place and I'm going to assume that your TV doesn't support S-Video.

Anything like this should get you started if you just want to play:

Welcome to the wonderful world of retro gaming in 2018.
Hopefully you have a setting for it like mentioned, if not, your tv just doesn't like that resolution. Solution is different tv, modded console, or upscaler. They do make cheap ones, but they are usually not great and you get what you pay for. If you find a Tv that still supports Svideo that's the best cheap option for n64. i've actually had good experience with [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LE3EAIK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) cable.
Also remember that a lot of the cheap composite to hdmi "upscalers" don't actually upscale at all. They just convert the composite line to hdmi, and still send the same signal. So you get the same problem. Also some HDMI inputs just don't like 240 or even 480i at all. I ran into this thinking a cheap $10 SD to HDMI adapter would solve a similar problem for my genesis. Nope, not a true upscaler.

Not true.

https://www.amazon.com/Retroism-Unholy-Night-Darkness-Compatible-nintendo/dp/B06Y3RB65T

Release February of 2017.

And they still make SNES Clones that will (allegedly) play the games.

https://www.amazon.com/16-bit-Entertainment-System-INCLUDED-Super-Nintendo/dp/B00QW2TBWS/ref=sr_1_4?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1523888212&sr=1-4&keywords=SNES&th=1

Reminds me of watching an episode of Fresh Off the Boat a month or two back. There's a brief shot of Eddie and his friends sitting on the floor, supposedly playing SNES, but the shape of the console is all wrong - I just couldn't help myself and rewound it to much eye-rolling from my wife.

Found a screenshot here - looks like they're using a "16-Bit Entertainment System", but what the hell is that Game Genie looking gold thing, and what's sticking out of the corner of the cartridge?

Can't give you the best, but I can suggest maybe using the Wii U Pro Controller if you like how those feel. You'd have to buy an additional dongle to make it work though so I wouldn't say its the most cost effective solution.

The PS4 is a great alternative. If you can't be bothered with a bluetooth connection (Windows 7 has some compatibility issues with the bluetooth protocol used in the ps4 controller. Something to do with legacy issues I'm assuming) just hook it up with a micro usb and use DS4Windows. Free software, and works fantastic for any other games.

Consider if you will, combining the following three items for a somewhat more authentic experience:

• http://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/snes_to_wii/index.php
  
• https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Controller-Classic-Joystick-Android/dp/B014QP2H1E
  
• https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-SNES-Adapter-Bluetooth-Retro-Receiver/dp/B01K1T9CZS
  
  I can confirm that these three items work together, as they are currently plugged into my GameCube, and I've just tested them with a SNES VC game on my Wii.
  
  You can theoretically connect a SNES30 directly to a Wii wirelessly as if it were a wiimote, but I was unable to get that working properly.

I gave up and bought the receivers to make them connect reliably:
https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-SNES-Adapter-Bluetooth-Receiver-nintendo/dp/B01K1T9CZS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1537559283&sr=8-3&keywords=8bitdo+receiver&dpID=310af22trwL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

For those who are having trouble getting a system, another option is Amazon France. They go in stock several times per week (you can check with NowInStock) and it adds up to around $120 in total.
Ignore the "cannot ship to Canada" message, I can confirm that they do indeed ship to Canada.

I found one on Amazon, for $100USD. Seems worth it to me even if I can get the US one on gamestop for $80, I would rather spend the extra on the EU one.

I bought the NES30 Pro and I love it. To use it on your SNES Classic I believe you'll need this dongle.

There is also a controller that looks more like the SNES gamepad if that's what you're after.

You could get an 8bitdo controller & wireless receiver. It would be cheaper than getting a classic or classic pro controller. Dunno how good they are tho.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0748S3GXG?th=1

If you do get an adapter, mayflash is the best choice. They make quality products from what I've seen & heard. I bought 2 of their products so far & both work perfectly

8bitdo sells a receiver for the NES Classic that will work with any of their controllers

Speaking of SNES books, does anyone know much about the SNES "Playing with Super Power" book I keep seeing everywhere? Is the publisher any good?

Behemoth uses a Wii.

They should be identical in most regards. Though I haven't seen any test for it, I'd have to imagine that a wireless Wii controller would introduce some input lag, probably no more than the emulator you already use though. Given the main reason to switch to console in the first place is to eliminate that lag.

That aside the Wii version would be quite a bit cheaper as a cart typically runs $40+ USD. If you intend to use save states for practice, the Wii will have you covered, of course. For SNES you'd need to pick up either a Nakitek Game Saver (cheap option), or an SD2Snes or Super Everdrive and load up a practice ROM.

This beast is still sold and rather affordably as well. I'd be interested to hear how it works for you. I've considered buying it to backup game saves before replacing my aging batteries.

http://amzn.com/B0002U28TY

It can have them. I bought a third party turbo controller when I was like 13 just so I could yank the colored buttons out of it and put them in a normal controller.

Actually this was the very same controller I cannibalized the buttons from.

Asciiware, loved it! Still have two :)

https://www.amazon.com/Super-Nintendo-Turbo-Controller-AsciiPad/dp/B000W3ZDXO

I'm worried that the battery compartment on the back will make the controller uncomfortable to hold. The shifted buttons might also feel weird to someone used to the standard controller. A wireless version of this would be perfect.

Wrong! http://www.amazon.com/RetroPORT-SNES-Adapter-RETROBIT-Nintendo-DS/dp/B007A57C7W
At least now anyways.

It's already been done for NES (via the Innovation Super 8 and the RetroPORT Adapter), the Sega Genesis (via the RetroGEN Adapter), and GBA (via the Super Retro Advance Adapter). The major difference being that those have their own video output and basically just use the SNES for controller input and power.

I don't think you understand. It's a piece of hardware, such as the Retrobit. It's legal to make a piece of hardware that acts as an intermediary, such as an adapter, or that reads the games itself. It's legal to manufacture adapters and hardware, just not the games themselves and rom downloads have questionable legal issues.

Here's another example. This allows the SNES to play Genesis games.
Or this for PC which lets you read them on your computer. Both are absolutely legal.

It’s a bit pricy but you could use this: Retro-Bit SNES - Super UFO Pro 8 Game Saves & Backup Cartridge Adapter (UFO) - Super NES https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007O3MWVG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mNu8Cb97YNQXV

I can post a list of options here, I use them to test rom images before I load them to my repro carts:

Super UFO 8 (30-50 USD) :
Cheap, and basic, get the job done. Works with most clones. Uses software from about a million years ago; no, I'm not joking. It runs the same software that was on the old late 90's floppy readers updated to work with more modern hardware.
You have to be careful with savegames, there are some extra steps involved. Does not support ANY games that require specialized chips. Also, it smells funny (it has a strange chemical odor that never completely goes away). Theres a ton of these out there under a dozen or so different names, but if they are in this price range this is probably what your getting.
http://www.amazon.com/Saves-Backup-Cartridge-Adapter-Nintendo-Super/dp/B007O3MWVG/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1422038684&sr=1-1

Super everdrive (~150 USD):
Good interface and all the basic functionality is there and it works pretty much how you would expect. Works with some clones, but its a bit of a crapshoot. CAN support DSP-1 games if you have a dsp-1 chip installed on it (extra cost but worth it). Supply on these runs out sometimes, then they cost more for a bit. Doesn't smell funny.
http://www.stoneagegamer.com/super-everdrive-deluxe-na.html

SD2SNES (200-300 USD):
Creme-de-la-creme, all the basic functionality is there, and it has some nice bells and whistles. Solid interface. DOES NOT WORK RELIABLY WITH CLONES! USE A GENUINE SNES! Supports pretty much every special chip except for the SuperFX. Pricy, occasionally in short supply but generally you can get ahold of them without TOO much trouble. Doesn't smell funny.
http://www.stoneagegamer.com/sd2snes.html

I have or have worked with all 3 of these. feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

If you want wireless retro controllers, you could use these wireless SNES controllers with one of these SNES-to-USB adapters. Also, a regular Xbox 360 controller with one of these receivers would work (even though it says "for Windows," i believe there are good Linux drivers for Xbox 360 controllers). The controller connections will all be USB, with whatever USB adapters you want.

Edit: the SNES-to-USB eBay link I had posted went dead. Replaced it with a different one from Amazon.

But what if everything on my list is nerdy D:. Maybe these They're wireless SNES controllers, hell yeah.

People might say this is a janky way to do it, but I successfully replaced the battery in a Final Fantasy III cart with NO SOLDERING. I just used electrical tape. Worked fine. Just wrap it up really tight..

edit: you need a screwdriver bit to open the case, and these batteries

You'll also want some cheap paper towels and one of these https://www.amazon.com/Security-Screwdriver-Super-Nintendo-Cartridges-Systems/dp/B009I6FWOQ

Some people use those white click erasers for stubborn spots and some people just use alcohol and q-tips without taking anything apart. Keep in mind any abrasive you use is wearing down the electrical contacts. I am most comfortable with paper towels and CRC because I feel it's the cleanest clean while being gentle.

I have these, I'm not sure why they're listed at $20 bucks now since I bought them for $8 last year. I got these because I have a universal screwdriver handle that I thought they would fit into. Of course, they don't so I have to grab the end with pliers sometimes when I'm getting a screw in or out. They're high-quality and work fine. If I was buying again today, I'd probably take a chance on these. They're cheap and have an integrated handle.

There are cartridges similar to the Super Game Boy but for GBA games (obviously not licensed by Nintendo).

Apparently this adaptor allows you to play GBA games, not sure about GB/GBC

Does your TV have a SCART port? You can get a N64 -> scart lead

I have 2 of the Nintendo to scart cables off amazon for like 6/7 dollars and they're shielded well. No buzz on the audio, and I'm still amazed everytime I see the rgb out of a snes mini. my model 1 died so I upgraded and the image is substantially sharper and more vibrant with the mini. Also if you know how to solder you can find the rgb amp and board for like 5 dollars. Seriously it cost me 10 bucks to rgb mod my n64 and snes mini. Knowing how to solder is awesome mannn

And I bought mine on Amazon

Gam3Gear SNES Nintendo N64 Gamecube S Video Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DCwWAbBPJYY4K


Always look for ones with just S-Video and no yellow composite. Some can be wired bad. But it's not always true

First get an S Video Cable

https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-SNES-Nintendo-Gamecube-Video-Cable/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_63_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2CH7A9A3X2DJEGW7RZA8

Second this will work for transcoding. It forces stretching but will work. You may want to find a different unit.

Of course it depends.

Quick and easy. S-video for sure:

Wwwwaaaayyyy better but not ideal would be a scart cable in a cheap scart to hdmi adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/Scart-Adaptor-Ozvavzk-Adapter-Set-top/dp/B07DG1KGRC/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?keywords=scart+to+hdmi&qid=1558193904&s=gateway&sprefix=scart+&sr=8-8

Best of the best would be a high quality scart cable from retrogamingcables.co.uk in a scaler such as the framemeister or ossc which would be around 200-300$:

https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/nintendo/super-nintendo/packapunch-super-nintendo-entertainment-system-snes-n64-rgb-av-scart-cable-ntsc-gold-scart

I had the same issue with a 4k tv, I bought these off Amazon and my N64 and Super Nintendo worked perfectly. You may just need the converter box.

There's a S-Video input right on the back of that monitor. One side plugs directly into your console, the other into the monitor itself - super simple:

PS1/PS2/PS3 (official Sony brand and excellent quality, FYI)

SNES:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LE3EAIK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For NES, you'll also want to get a pack of these BNC to RCA connectors to use a regular RCA Composite cable off your NES: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005B4O4GG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I should add that I forgot to mention that Sega Genesis needs to be modded for S-Video - if your friend can help you mod the monitor for RGB it'll be a breeze for him (it's soldering like 5 single wires and a couple resistors - pretty darn easy). ---OR at that point, if you are actually modding the monitor for RGB, you'll probably forget about the S-Video and just use a regular SCART RGB cable or whatnot.

Also, if it makes your choice easier, S-Video really is excellent quality. You really have to see both side-by-side to notice any difference compared to RGB (especially if you're still new to all this - it's really just the finer smaller differences you can notice between the two connection types).

http://www.amazon.com/Cirka-Classic-Retro-Controller-Super-Nintendo/dp/B00PIZMB6S

Got these, lovem

As far as newly manufactured pads go, the CirKa SNES pads are actually pretty good, but they cost about $10 each, which is getting close to the original pads' price, and the original pads are still better. The Tomee pads are cheaper (I got a pair for $6) but they're just plain awful and you should probably steer clear unless you want some beaters for your friends/guests to abuse.

I recommend picking up an old ASCII Pad, which is a little more expensive than a standard controller but includes turbo and slow motion, for your own use.

For the cables, I agree with the other sentiments to just use whatever works with your TV in the short term and don't worry about it unless/until you're ready to drop some change on a nice CRT and/or upscaler. If your current TV has an svideo port, it's worth using it instead of composite in most cases, but you have to watch out because some of the cheaper cables just run the same composite signal through an svideo jack, so you don't get any image improvement.

Yep, here are some options Amazon has

http://www.amazon.com/16-bit-Entertainment-System-Super-Nintendo/dp/B00QW2TBWS/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1462136822&sr=1-1&keywords=Snes

I use the 8bitdo retro receiver which I sync with a Wii remote, and then I plug the snes classic controller into the Wii remote. Works like a charm, and it allows me to play “wireless”:

8Bitdo SNES - Adapter - Bluetooth SNES Retro Receiver - Super NES https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K1T9CZS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EIGIAbN11HH7F

Just ran into this conundrum myself. Bought a SNES Classic and wanted to get a wireless controller for it: This one to be exact. Unfortunately it was lag-tacular, (probably a 1/4 second delay, but enough to be irritating on platformers like MegaMan X and Super Metroid).

​

Returned it, and picked up this and this instead. The difference is night and day, and the controls are super snappy and responsive. Picked up the regular SNES adapter version as well and it works like a charm too.

You just need to buy the NES Adapter or SNES Adapter.

Sorta -- 8bitdo makes a wireless SNES adapter. It's compatible with wiimotes which are compatible with the SNES classic controller.

I'm not aware of anyone testing this out yet, but in theory you should be able to plug a SNES classic controller into a Wiimote, pair it with the 8bitdo adapter, and use it with your original SNES console.

I don't expect it to ever be possible to directly plug a SNES classic controller into a SNES console; the voltages used by the original SNES controllers and the SNES classic controllers differ.

I tried posting this for everyone as a new thread. It disappeared from the sub, so here it is again. I think everyone should have a fair chance to get one.

I'm not sure if Nintendo's going to make one, but there's a really nice Nintebdo licensed PDP one for preorder here

At the moment, there is one by PDP; however, the release date is November 15th (Don't know why thou.). o_0 I'm hoping for RDS as well, guess we'll see next week. :)

You have to "install" a controller receiver. But it just plugs on the controller port. Nothing internal or strange. Plug, sync, and play.

I use the Switch Pro Controller with an 8bitdo retro receiver but it's also compatible with PS3, PS4, Wii remotes, Wii U pro controller and every 8bitdo controller. Works great!
You can update the receiver's firmware via USB, and all the buttons work as intended. You can even use Select+down to go to the menu.

Edit: Page says Pre order, but it's been available for months and it0s only 1299 on Amazon.

Do you have a Wii Classic Controller? That'll work with some of the Wii U games (usually the ones that support multiplayer) and it'll work on Nintendont out of the box.

There's also these adapters that should let a wireless PS3 controller act as a Wii Classic Controller: https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Retro-Receiver-Classic-Bluetooth-nintendo/dp/B076B995TL

Here is the one I've used. Also, the one made for NES/SNES Classics is several dollars cheaper and I'm pretty sure that they can be used with a Pi by plugging it in with the provided micro USB to USB cable as I've seen others say it works. I actually own one of the SNES Classic retro receivers, so I can try it out later when I get a chance to confirm.

Which console's everdrive were you thinking of getting? The SNES has a device called a Nakitek Game Saver, which is relatively cheap and allows you to create save states on games. It's a neat tool.

I strongly encourage you replace the battery in the cartridge but you can also get this accessory that can save your progress. It only saves your progress for one game, though.

One time, when I was like 9, I had this badass super nintendo controller that you could set all the buttons to auto-mash at certin intervals, this is it. I loved that controler. It wasn't handy for all games, but like platform shooters and stuff, where you needed to continually mash the same button over and over, it was awesome. Also for swimming in Mario Land. Anyways, I used it for everything. I got used to the size of it in my hands and it felt right to just use it in default mode, regardless if I was making use of the auto-mash functions. So, one day, I was being my usual hermity self and hanging out in my parents room playing Donkey Kong Country, because my brother wanted to watch Oprah in the living room for some reason; and I came up on this level that was impossible to pass. I forget which it was, but something is screaming "mine carts" at me in my head. I spent like 5 hours trying to pass this shit. Failed every time, and after the last time, i took my awesome asciipad and launched it at the wall while yelling the F word. It hit the wall and went into exactly 1 million pieces. We stayed in that house for like 3 more years after that, and every time I vacuumed, I found a new little piece of that controller.

Also, I got in so much trouble for throwing a tantrum and swearing.

Behold the RetroPort

http://www.amazon.com/RetroPORT-SNES-Adapter-RETROBIT-Nintendo-DS/dp/B007A57C7W

Well i own one of these so it was feasible in a way!

https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-RetroPort-SNES-Cartridge-Adapter-Nintendo/dp/B007A57C7W

I always thought it'd be cool to try a Mother trilogy cart similar to this, using a Super Retro Advance adapter and a [Retroport NES to SNES adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007A57C7W/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3/176-6720898-4167452?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_r=11Z2FFDQN5Z8MJZHGQPY&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=1944687742&pf_rd_i=B00EXPCTQQ) and maybe some kind of hardware switch to switch between the three games. But it seems like a huge project.

Well done on this. It turned out well. Though there are only so many Super Game Boys in the world.

NES>SNES http://www.amazon.com/RetroPORT-SNES-Adapter-RETROBIT-Nintendo-DS/dp/B007A57C7W or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_8_(video_game_accessory)

NES/SNES>N64 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristar_64

Some Atari's were backwards compatible.

Now play Stack Up and Gyromite.

Well it was kind of hard to do when each new generation's cartridge had a different form factor. Here

But back in the day you just buy an adapter. They still sell them today.

You can get something like this. It takes SD cards and it can connect to a PC via USB. There may be better choices than this one, I just did a quick search. They won't work with any games that use the SuperFX chip though.

This thing'll do the trick, too.

You don't need an SD2SNES.

Get a Super UFO Pro 8.

https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-SNES-Backup-Cartridge-Adapter-Nintendo/dp/B007O3MWVG

You should look into a battery backup system like this for the SNES and a DexDrive with a Gameshark following this guide for the N64

Messiah SNES Wireless Controllers are fantastic. They will run you $100ish on Ebay. It's a bit thicker than a normal SNES controller. It uses micro switches so it's a little softer, but a lot more durable. While that looks like an analog stick, it's really more of a hat over 4 switch d-pad. Overall it matches the size and shape near perfectly and it's hands down the best wireless snes controller solution.

RetroBit the Retro Duo guys make another wireless controller. It's got a weird shape, buttons in he wrong place, a crap d-pad, and it will miss button presses through crossed legs. It's such crap that even RPGs are a bitch to play.

Before you cheap out and buy the Retroport one or decided and go the emulator route, I will tell you that the Messiah controller is easily worth twice the going rate in terms of getting a quality classic SNES experience.

I find these to be my favorite 3rd party, old or new, and they also make them in a wired version that I love as well:

Here you go not as good as if you had done it yourself but hey it works (I think)

That is the petrockblog Control Block, it handles power and control port input.

Would be happy to:

Super Famicom w/controller $37 [Ebay]

Raspberry Pi 3 $35 [Amazon]

Control Block $35 [PetRockBlog]

100pc Jumper Wire FtF $8 [Amazon]

Screw bits to open the console $5 [Amazon]

Panel Mounted USB Cable $4 [AdaFruit]

Panel Mounted USB Micro Cable $5 [AdaFruit]

Panel Mounted HDMI Cable $6 [AdaFruit]


I replaced the LED with one I had lying around, I did end up buying a soldering iron and cable strippers to use for this as well, just cheap ones off Amazon.

I think that covers everything.

As far as I know, most of the sega carts use the same bit as Nintendo. Just look for a Nintendo Bit set. This is what I have. I think the 3.8mm is for the carts and the 4.5 is for the console. The others use a standard Torx bit. I don't remember if its T-8 or T-10. Just a get a set of Torx Bits, maybe even a Security Torx Set. Those are the ones with the pin in the center. But they work on ones that arent security screws.

This depends on the cartridge. Older 5-screw games, you can use a standard screwdriver. Otherwise you need a 3.8mm socket gamebit.


I'd recommend getting both the 3.8mm and 4.5mm gamebit:


https://www.amazon.com/Security-Screwdriver-Length-Nintendo-Cartridges-Systems/dp/B009I6FWOQ/

All you need is the correct bit to remove the N64 screws. Once you get the top off of the N64 you can just press up on the plastic from the bottom to force it out. Then just clean it up.

http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-GameBoy-Virtual-Genesis-Master-TurboGrafx/dp/B009I6FWOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381612871&sr=8-1&keywords=4.5mm+bit+gamebit

These should do the job. I also have the 3.8 for games so I can get to the contacts easily and clean them thoroughly.

I don't have a guide but it only requires unscrewing things. Watch this video from the start until about 9:30 mark. Video The metal tray below the disc drive unscrews too.

Only the first 4 screw to take the case off need the security bit. Every other one is Philips head. Secuirty bit is a 4.5mm Link

3.8 and 4.5 security bits, required to open snes, nes, n64 consoles and cartridges and sega cartridges.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009I6FWOQ/ref=oh_aui_i_d_old_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I suppose you get this: https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-Super-Retro-Advance-Adapter-Nintendo/dp/B00EXPCTQQ

Tototek/Gamejoy adapter

Retro-bit Super Retro Advance

Both seem to be out of stock right now but I did see one on eBay

Unfortunately the closest you could come to getting a cart like what you're asking for would be to jury-rig an adapter like: https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-Super-Retro-Advance-Adapter-nintendo/dp/B00EXPCTQQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 ... with a Minish Cap board inside a SNES cart... BUT ... unlike a Super Gameboy conversion of Link's Awakening which works great like I just described (I own one myself!), that adapter does NOT provide video/audio out to the SNES... so it'd be a frankenstein looking abomination. :P

Thanks for the info, so something like this would suffice? http://www.amazon.com/Cinpel-Scart-Cable-Nintendo-GameCube-Wii/dp/B00KZLEJEW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409952020&sr=8-1&keywords=Gamecube+SCART

any way to find one of these tvs online? are they expensive?


also are these 2 cables ok:
https://www.amazon.com/Electrovision-Scart-Phono-Plugs-Black/dp/B000KMAWW4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479236105&sr=8-1&keywords=scart+to+bnc

Are console scart cables created equal? I see some snes cables for pretty cheap with free shipping on amazon, but I need to know if they are equal before I pull the plug

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KZLEJEW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1407871906&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40

Well first off, get yourself at least some S-video cables straight away. Some of them have some quality issues, I've had no significant interference problems with this one.

https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Nintendo-Gamecube-Video-Cable-Super/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519447659&sr=8-1&keywords=nintendo+s-video&dpID=511QkWlFQdL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

It's not the best, but it is dirt cheap and it doesn't have a normal composite line to bleed over into your s-video feed.

I don't know this set in particular, but it looks like a pretty decent pick up as far as free consumer sets go. According to my google, it has component, so if you really want to get cheeky, you can pick up an rgb to component converter and set up a snes or genesis with component.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LE3EAIK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details

For $8 I am very happy with the upgrade over composite.

Nothing cheaper than the Carby for 480p, best option for a lower price is a svideo cable which will give you 480i.
https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Nintendo-Gamecube-Video-Cable-Super/dp/B00LE3EAIK

This assumes you have a TV with svideo input...

Here is the switcher that I use. My tv has s video input so it works great because I can use systems that output s video or composite with this one. Here is an s video cable that would work for both your SNES and your N64. Here is a composite cable that would work with your model 1 Sega Genesis, and Here would be am example of composite cables that would work with you NES.

As for the surge protector, here is the one I use and I really like it because it can hold a lot of the big power bricks that these older consoles like to use. Anyway hope that helped point you in the right direction. Of course it is a little bit of an investment, but overall I bet you will be much happier with a set up like this. I know personally I could never go back to constantly physically switching consoles out when I want to play them, this makes it so much easier to enjoy all my consoles with minimal effort. Good luck on your set up!

This one same difference ya think?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_aGS4xbSTRDDYV

Thanks so much!
As for the S-video adapter, if I have an S-video cable for the Super Nintendo, for example, then would something like this work for getting the S-video quality on the monitor while still being compatible with the Super Nintendo?

EDIT: This is my Super Nintendo S-video cable

I have tried these already:

Will the ebay one you sent be better?

NTSC. This is the cable I have from amazon

After reading some reviews seems the cheap cable may be to blame. We will see

Take this one for example: https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Nintendo-Gamecube-Video-Cable-Super/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=snes+s-video+cable&qid=1555157325&s=gateway&sr=8-2#customerReviews


Overall, the reviews are pretty solid. But the top rated review points out some cheap design and claims it's not much different in terms of quality as an official composite cable.

I bought two NES Usbs and two SNES Usbs, and while they're ok, I'm already seeing them suffer from use. Nintendo tends to make quality guaranteed products, and at $10 a pop, the cost isn't that much different.

Wonderful, if you don’t know it’s totally understandable, would a cheap one on amazon work with it till I can get a original one? Something like this: CirKa "S91" Premium Controller for SNES https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PIZMB6S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_GLE1BbYZZBR8S.

Also open to suggestions if you have a good alternative.

Might check out a clone like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Cirka-Classic-Retro-Controller-Super-Nintendo/dp/B00PIZMB6S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1450711275&sr=8-3&keywords=snes+controller

This and this are what you're referring to?

Thanks for the heads up on both.

> Hyperkin Cirka S91

Only $10, hmm...

then how is stuff like this being made and sold?

This is the one I mentioned for $25 USD. Not sure how much that converts to for you.

Edit: Oh, were you talking about the controller itself? Yeah, the controllers are around $40 here too.

I believe using their SNES receiver allows you to use the left analog for movement.

the game cover is high-def but the game is very low-def?

People are releasing new SNES games all the time. Most recently a bunch of former SNK devs got together and released Unholy Night.

Also available new from granger games for £65, used for £55 https://www.graingergames.co.uk/product/G55671-nintendo-classic-mini-snes and available at amazon for rrp https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Classic-Mini-Console-Entertainment/dp/B073BVHY3F

Well it's like, why would someone buy this on eBay when you can buy the same thing for £30 cheaper on Amazon? It wouldn't make sense for the average Joe to put something up on eBay that's £30 more expensive than on Amazon.

It's not region locked. But watch some youtube videos on putting NES and SNES games on there - it's not hard at all to put any roms you want on there... Even if your childhood favorite isn't on the list.

EMiO Edge Gamepad for SNES Mini - Super NES https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073HPD5TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_KNAsDbNR9G9FK

If you’re tired of waiting around for a guitar show up at goodwill, I think I have the cheapest solution. Buy a wiitar, 15-25 on eBay shipped. Buy this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073HPD5TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdo_t1_zG.QCbC7QHP0C
(Sorry for long link, on mobile) and just use the adapter piece from it, and you’re golden. Keep in mind the only drawback is the whammy bar won’t work with this adapter as it doesn’t convert analog signals.

I unintentionally found a way to use my two wireless wii guitars with USB just today.

I bought this SNES controller at a nearby mall. It's for the SNES Mini but comes with a USB adapter for PC. The adapter so happens to be perfectly compatible with the Les Paul. It works flawlessly. Input lag is the same as my Xplorer, and it worked first try. The only thing I needed was a USB extension.

20$ for a semi-crap SNES controller and an adapter for most Wii controllers. I'm considering buying another one.

I had a wiitar and i found this cheaper alternative for the raphnet adapter that has worked fine for me. it’s a $15 SNES usb remote that comes with the dongle you need for wiitar to usb. it has worked fine for me. it is short though so you would need a usb extension cord thing.

https://www.amazon.com/EMiO-Edge-Gamepad-SNES-Mini-nintendo/dp/B073HPD5TC

The adapter that comes included with this controller has been reputed to work. I've seen it in Acai's comment section, on this subreddit, and in the Amazon reviews themselves (which say that the adapter works for Wii guitars).

$14, but you'll need to buy a USB extension cable as well (female to male) so add on another $5 or so :)

This is the cheapest adapter I could find: https://www.amazon.com/ELECOM-converter-Classic-controller-JC-W01UWH

It might be worth it to get this instead: https://www.amazon.com/EMiO-Edge-Gamepad-SNES-Mini-nintendo/dp/B073HPD5TC

I recommend this wireless controller by 8BitDo specifically for the SNES Classic.

https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Wireless-Controller-Classic-super-nintendo/dp/B074HBNNH6/

I have one, and sure it's a little bit of extra money, but the quality and performance are both excellent.

You should grab a nice SNES style USB controller too. I recommend 8bitdo’s controller for $25. They’re a good brand. It will connect to your computer through a USB cable and wirelessly if you ever use it on a SNES Classic Edition. A cheap option is this one I picked up for $6. It’s actually not too bad either.

https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Wireless-Controller-Classic-super-nintendo/dp/B074HBNNH6

Here is a link to the wireless ones some here have recommended for SNES Classic.

https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Classic-nintendo_super_NES-super-nintendo/dp/B074HBNNH6/ref=pd_cp_63_4?pd_rd_w=qkMBp&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=XT8TQCP00BET9NS6HJ8K&pd_rd_r=07e2583f-f53e-42e4-a019-b8ec65f6b624&pd_rd_wg=96f76&pd_rd_i=B074HBNNH6&refRID=XT8TQCP00BET9NS6HJ8K&th=1

Cause this has awesome reviews but it sit's for snes classic only and only has a dongle for snes classic. Unless they sell a USB adapter for snes classic I think you've actually linked that before

https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Wireless-Controller-Classic-super-nintendo/dp/B074HBNNH6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=55726312453&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIloj7roC_4gIV1UsNCh3qmgS_EAAYASAAEgKIG_D_BwE&hvadid=274718376137&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=1025197&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=b&hvrand=1120521279859412192&hvtargid=kwd-367208639753&hydadcr=25006_9930952&keywords=snes+classic+wireless+controller&qid=1559073301&s=gateway&sr=8-3

8Bitdo SN30 2.4G Wireless Controller for SNES Classic Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074HBNNH6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UYQWBb5BH2PE6

This is what I ordered. Is it going to come with the receiver you're referring to?

One thing that screwed me up is that I ended up buying the 2.4G version instead of the bluetooth version. Took me a couple of weeks of banging my head into the wall before I figured it out. Worth checking at the least.

Yea, I saw that one too. I'm not sure I need a $50 controller with all the stuff they have on there.

I was more looking at these

or these

Yeah that's what I originally wanted to use. I tried using this https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Classic-nintendo_super_NES-super-nintendo/dp/B074HBNNH6/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_img_5?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=9XCGA71EP6MEC7M609JG&th=1

and if L/R worked I would be completely in love with it.

I got the 8Bitdo SN30 2.4G in March. This is the non-Bluetooth version. Controller and receiver together for $25 on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Wireless-Controller-Classic-super-nintendo/dp/B074HBNNH6

Got two and they've been working great (about 2 months so far).

I use 8bitdo controller and it works perfectly. No setup at all, no lag, and plus I can now restart the SNES without getting up. The reset is key-mapped to pressing Select and Down. This is the controller I bought

I think you're looking at the ones with the joystick, wich are around 40€.

​

I was talking about this model in particular : https://www.amazon.fr/8Bitdo-Manette-Super-Nintendo-Classic/dp/B074HBQ78V/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1550074695&sr=8-7&keywords=8bitdo+sf30

for 17€

​

Depends what you want to spend, but 8bit do make some cheap controllers that don't have those buttons that work with the switch.

Doubtful, wired gamepads have questionable support unless they are specifically made for the system.

But we know the 8bitdo gamepads work.

>There isn't a 2.4g solution for SNES (or Super Nt) right now. The only receivers that plug into original hardware ports are Bluetooth.

What about this


8Bitdo SF30 2.4G Wireless Controller for SFC Classic Edition

People online claim it works with the super NT


Edit, after looking through the comments, it isn’t compatible with the original Snes, but the mini classic snes only, thanks for saving me a return .. I assume the super NT functions just like the Snes,

This is also the controller I'm talking about https://www.amazon.co.uk/8Bitdo-Wireless-Controller-Classic-Electronic/dp/B074HBQ78V/ref=asc_df_B074HBQ78V/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310689469388&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4983968664158515765&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006965&hvtargid=pla-403273544320&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

I just saw the product link you posted, I have the Bluetooth model with the retro receiver.

Of note I got the SFC30 for easier use for my kids (push the Green button) but again the parts are swappable with official controllers if you want to keep the purple scheme, or just buy the Bluetooth SN30.

you use the port on the side of the usb port to get power to it. i tried searching for a post on the this group about it but i couldn't find it again but if you can find them cheap enough it may be worth a shot

>https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076B995TL/ref=cm\_sw\_r\_cp\_apa\_0IS9BbEJ57QVZ

Don't think this will work on either the Wii or WiiU though. In my experience, the remotes cannot fully power the adapter to the degree that they are supplied power by the Classic Mini line.

You mean something like this?


8Bitdo Retro Receiver for SNES Classic, SFC Classic and NES Classic (Bluetooth) - Super NES; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076B995TL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_0IS9BbEJ57QVZ

As others have stated, the NES Classic and SNES Classic consoles are for sale at pretty much every Walmart, Best Buy, etc. You can even use the free Hakchi program to put whatever games you want on them when you tire of the games that come on them but the NES Classic comes with all 3 Mario games released for the NES console and the SNES Classic comes with Super Mario World on it.

The NES Classic comes with 1 controller, SNES Classic comes with 2. You can purchase extension cables (that come in packs of 2) for like $10 that fit both consoles as the controllers for both are interchangeable. For $13 you can buy a bluetooth receiver to plug into the consoles (HERE) and use completely wireless 3rd party controllers or even PS4 controllers to play the systems instead of the wired controllers that come with them.

That is your best option. Brand new hardware, HDMI to hook to your new 4K tv. NES Classic has the 1 Mario game you want, 2 more you'll play later, 27 non-Mario games and the ability to add the entire NES library to it if you wish. Ditto for the SNES Classic when you want to play Super Mario World except you can't put all the games on the console at one time when you tire of the 20 games that come on the system due to the games being larger. You can only put a few hundred at a time. I keep 80 on mine with the roms for every single SNES game made saved on my computer so I can change them out at will because I like keeping all my games on the main menu screen, no folders.

I use the 8bitdo retro receiver with an SN30 Pro. I don't notice any obvious lag or interference issues, but I'm not a speed runner or high-performance gamer. Battery life is okay - usually lasts about 4-8 hours, though I've never tried just pushing the controller till it died.

In hindsight, I wish I'd gone with the regular SN30. The extra niceties of the Pro model are okay, but they mess with the grip a bit since the controller is larger, and I find that I prefer other controllers for playing modern games on other consoles or PC. I got the SN30 Pro for nostalgia, so I wish I'd gone all the way and gotten a traditional one.

And the system automatically detected the joystick, or you still had to map it?

I'm using the 8Bitdo Retro Receiver which lets my connect via bluetooth to my PS4 controller. But it's not detecting my joysticks!

EDIT: Yup - just had to manually set my controller directions to the proper mapping :)

Idk but this might work. https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Retro-Receiver-Classic-Bluetooth-nintendo/dp/B076B995TL/ref=asc_df_B076B995TL/

It's this one. Retro Receiver for the SNES Classic. I downgraded it to 1.10 and it worked. Is this the current firmware for this item?

8BitDo Retro Receiver  

8Bitdo SN30 Game Controller

I bought these and love them https://www.amazon.com/Security-Screwdriver-Length-Nintendo-Cartridges-Systems/dp/B009I6FWOQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1504397839&sr=1-1&keywords=nes+bit

Properly cleaning a game cartridge is very easy. With only 2 special tools 3.8mm & 4.5mm Security Bits you can open up any old game cartridge.

After opening the cartridge, carefully remove the circuit board and hold it only by the edges, and then using a regular pencil eraser (a soft one) buff the contacts to a nice gold shine. Clear the eraser debris away with a dry cloth / can of compressed air. Put the cartridge back together.

Games cleaned in this way, when used in a game system with good internal pin connectors, will allow you to insert the game, press power once, and play to your heart's content. No more flashing screens, removing/blowing in cartridge or other annoying tricks required.

But the SNES game is for real.

There is technically nothing stopping anyone from making a new SNES game in the future. Unholy Night was released this year in July. Now, Star Fox 2 is the last officially licensed SNES title to ever come out as I don't think Nintendo has a process for licensing new SNES titles anymore and this squeaks by with a technicality.

Really, I'm way over reacting? How many times has sf2 been released (and people think Skyrim is bad) it's on fucking every system from snes to ps3, its on arcade, its in hd, its on the fucking switch for God sakes. Then they have the balls to the release it AGAIN at a rediculous price point in a red cart and call it limited? That's some bullshit and if you don't think so then buy away. And just for the hell of it, here is an example:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Y3RB65T/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504367949&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=unholy+night+snes&dpPl=1&dpID=5136MWEogIL&ref=plSrch

...of a BRAND NEW fighting game released for the SNES...it is on a cart and plays on original hardware it has a box and a manual and it's full of New/original content. Now, I know what you're thinking, "wow this must cost hundreds I mean that rerelease of sf2 that I own 6 copies of already is a steal at 125$!" Nope, at release it was 49.99 like a regular ass game.End rant That being said, Street Fighter 2 is a fantastic game which I own multiple copies of on multiple platforms and play fairly regularly but this collectors edition doesn't sit right with me they're beating a dead horse at this point imo.
