Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

What an awesome little system, and I do mean little. This tiny thing is about 1/4 the size of it's progenitor. The design matches the original though but of course in tiny form. The differences being for one the way you plug your controllers into the front and of course the connection ports in the back. What appear to be controller ports on the front is actually a faux pull out panel that reveals the real ports underneath. They want it to maintain the original look of the system when the controllers are not plugged in. Kind of silly but whatever. The only connections in the back are the HDMI port to connect it to your current day TV and a micro USB port to power the unit. It goes from a micro to a normal size USB. Here may be one of the first 'extra' things you may need. An AC to USB adapter which they do not include. Another option is that you can just plug it into a empty USB port on the back of your TV which worked for me. Also if your TV is shy enough HDMI connections then another 'extra' item you may want to get is a HDMI switch. A switch not a splitter. Look it up and you'll see what I mean. I had to buy one myself as my TV only has two HDMI connections and they were both already being used. The unit also comes with two controllers which appear to be exact replicas of the originals though I'm sure there is some minor not worth mentioning differences as they work perfectly. Except for a couple of things. First the cord length is way too short so here is where I advise you on purchasing another 'extra' item and that would be cord extenders. Unless you are not that far away from the TV this is a must. Also worth mentioning is that the only way to get back out into the menu screen when already in a game is to actually hit the re-set button on the system itself. Or buying yourself a controller that has a re-set button built into it such as the Wii classic controller which I happen to already own and it works perfectly. I went for the European version of the SNES because it was cheaper at the time and I kind of like the look of it a little more. Either way it works just fine in the USA where I live so no need to worry about that and the language used in the menus and dialog through out all the games is English. If your TV or monitor has a HDMI connecter then it will work no matter where you live and this is why it's listed as not being region locked. The US and European versions have the menus and games in English and the others do not. One thing I do wish is that Nintendo would make it possible to hook this up to the internet and download more games onto it legally. I wouldn't mind dishing out a little more money if I were able to select a few more games to have on it. I did say legally. And that is all I have to say about that. I love it and recommend it if you loved the SNES back in the day as much as I. Here is the list of games that are included. Contra 3: The Alien Wars Donkey Kong Country EarthBound Final Fantasy 3 F-Zero Kirby Super Star Kirby's Dream Course The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Mega Man X Secret of Mana Star Fox Star Fox 2 Street Fighter 2 Turbo: Hyper Fighting Super Castlevania 4 Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts Super Mario Kart Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Super Mario World (should have been Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World) Super Metroid Super Punch-Out!!
