SNES Classic Review

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System originally launched in 1990 was the most powerful ground breaking hardware of it's time.  Supporting beautiful 32 bit artwork and some early, but crude 3D polyganol modeling and become an instant classic and huge cash cow for Nintendo.   Now nearly 30 years later the SNES is back with a miniture form factor and 21 preloaded games.  Included the never before released Star Fox 2.  

Pros

  • Great size to travel with
  • Controllers feel just like they did in the 90's.
  • Tons of great games with no generic filler
  • Save States
  • Beautiful UI
  • HDMI support
  • No input lag
Cons
  • Missing a few classic games that would have made this collection perfect:  
    • Donkey Kong Country 2
    • Donkey Kong Country 3
    • Super Off Road the Baja
    • Top Gear
    • Top Gear 2
    • Kirby's Dream Land 3
    • Super Mario All Stars
The Verdict
9.5

This console is nearly perfect.  Just needed a few more games to make it complete.
