snes ahoy

Saturday Night Slam Masters!

can anyone recommend a decent usb or bluetooth snes controller that'll work on a mac?

I wish I could. Whatever you do, don't impulse buy a $19.99 controller at Wal-Mart or something. I did that TWICE, and both times the controllers had horrible problems with lag (making any game based on reflexes - AKA 90% of the SNES catalog - worthless) and the analog stick.

The fact that you're making an effort to research this a little before purchasing probably means you'll fare better than I did, though!

got Secret Of Mana in the post yesterday. have never played it before, so i guess it's time to see if it matches up to the hype!

Whoa!

I played the hell out of ogre battle btw

I downloaded a snes emulator yesterday. It has been too long since I've relived old games. Youtube has rekindled my childhood. Mostly I watch rom hack videos. Speaking of which, these two videos I found today are enlightening:

I would like to have something like that Cory, but maybe just a SNES usb controller so I don't have to buy games. If I did want to buy games I would like to try one of those new spangled consoles that combines old systems like Retro Freak.

Oh man. I'm going to have to get a USB controller and an emulator. SNES was the last console I really owned but I loved it. Super Metroid, DKC, Mario Kart, Yoshis Island - they were my childhood

i got them years ago and play occasionally on my mac via openemu. it's rad.

good list though chrono trigger feels like a major omission

is this the first official release for Starfox 2? solid list of games, pleased Secret of Mana is on there.

yeah this will be the first US release of that game iirc

holy fuck.... get my personal shopper on the horn

or the first release of it at all, apparently. neat

as much as i love ff6 on nostalgia i think chrono trigger has aged a lot better

The guy who developed the Analogue NT Mini (currently the $500 holy grail of 8-bit gaming) is providing jailbreak support for every 8 bit and prior system. He plans on making a 16 bit console - I'm waiting on that. I love early gaming enough to pay a premium price.

Lately I'm playing the major Zelda game I missed, Majora's Mask, using Dolphin emulator, HD texture pack, and a wireless xbox360 controller (lol). This last week I also played Mario 64 for the first time in 20 years. I love emulating because of the up-scaling and widescreen code support etc..

However, NES and SNES don't need any upscaling. It's great of Nintendo to shell out new, old consoles; however it's kinda mean of them to stop production on the NES Classic.

how to pre-order?

It's up on Game for £80 but seems to have broken the website

Nintendo confirms to Kotaku that there will be more SNES Classics, but only this year https://t.co/TDVE7FEmHj pic.twitter.com/uaOqszTMVC

buyin it

It's on Nintendo Store UK for £70 now https://store.nintendo.co.uk/nintendo-classic-mini-hardware/nintendo-classic-mini-super-nintendo-entertainment-system/11495711.html

bought one

*yoink* cheers stet

And gone again, heh.

I got an order in with amazon last night before they ran out.

I've still got my bootleg combo NES/SNES with Street Fighter and Mario, I think Chrono Trigger is the only thing that would have made me really want this (and FF II/IV).

if anyone sees a US place taking preorders please lmk

Are the pre-installed games the only ones that will ever be available for it?

meanwhile I raise you:

auto-generated links aren't intentional clickbait but sure can end up that way

no official us sellers yet but you can set up a notification from best buy at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-entertainment-system-snes-classic-edition/5919830.p?skuId=5919830&ref=199&loc=HiuZOO%2F9InU&acampID=1&siteID=HiuZOO_9InU-vxnSEqRusRMXjDKxHh32Bg

amazon's doing it too. but i suspect i'll actually have to get my ass out of bed and wait on line for one this year, when i didn't bother for the nes classic. at least it'll be in september instead of november, making it a little bit less of a holiday rush purchase
