SUPER FAMICOM CLASSIC EDITION CONSOLE (JAPANESE) [NINTENDO]

I have the US edition SNES Classic and bought this just so I had Japanese language ROMs to play instead on occasion.Whether you just want it as a collectors item or want childhood classics to augment your language learning, SFC/SNES is great either way.Good gameplay, and sentences with more dignity than “see spot run” or “I wear hat”.

I remember on my 13th birthday in 1991, I got the best gift you could ever want! In Osaka, it was very hard to find a Super Famicom for sale when it released, but my parents were able to get one and it was and still is my favorite birthday! Fast forward to 2018 and we have the gift of reliving our childhood with Nintendo's Super Famicom Classic Mini! It is one of the greatest consoles ever released, and it will remain one of the greatest! I was thrilled when this came out because while I still have my original Super Famicom from my birthday, I want to keep it in its original box to be kept for all my life! This is the real deal folks!Nintendo is all about quality, and this is another example of it. It is made of strong high grade plastic with working power on/off and reset buttons. The controller inputs are the same as the Famicom Mini and NES Mini. The included HDMI cable and power cord are great quality too. The Super Famicom/SNES controllers are still one of the greatest controllers made, and the quality Nintendo put into them is fantastic. They are just like the originals and work as good too. So the question is, is it worth it?Yes of course! You'd have to be bonkers to question if it's worth it! The games included are fantastic, but remember, this is the Japanese version of the SNES. If you don't read Japanese, you may want to steer clear since many of the games are not easy to play without knowing Japanese. If you are into collecting these classic consoles, do yourself a favor and buy this! They won't remain at this low cost for long!

This is an instant collector's item. Many years from now, like the original Super Famicon, people will realize this is a valuable machine. I mean just look at it. It is one of the top 5 best looking video game consoles ever. And this is coming from a guy who preferred the Sega Genesis during that infamous console war period.Most of us grew up with the purple on Grey Super Nintendo version, but that was aesthetically inferior to this one. So grab one while you still can.Oh, and the games are awesome. My favorite, well actually like at least 5 of them are my favorites. There are so many good games on here it is impossible to pick just one.

As other reviewers noted, collectible status is mitigated by a dented outer box (the item arrived in a thin bubble-wrap bag). Fortunately, the interior contents appear undamaged, and work fine.

Bought for hubby for his collection, fits right in! Or tried the unit but looks cool with the other consoles

Amazing product.The console housing is a perfect replica of the Super Famicom, though scaled down to an adorable size that fits in the palm of your hand.The software selection is incredible. The menu's are easy to navigate and are designed to have the 16-bit retro look.The only two gripes I've had with this product: some games like Super Ghoul's and Ghosts, Starfox, and Starfox 2 experience slow-down in the emulation when the games get busy (i.e. lots of stuff going on at the same time). This seems like more of a software/emulator problem than a hardware issue, and could have been addressed and fixed by Nintendo.The controller cables are too short, about 6-feet, meaning you have to pull the console across the living room, or go old-school kid mode and sit cross-legged on the middle of the floor right in front of the TV.I had to buy two 10-ft cable extensions (about $8) to be able to sit comfortably on my couch and play.

Awesome console! This is the real deal. The box arrived nicely, and was not damaged. I was able to mod it and it was beyond easy!!! I changed the menu language to English, removed all the Japanese games, and installed the 30 games included with the USA SNES Classic version. I plan to add plenty more along with the NES Classic games.Things to note:This console is in Japanese, and can not be changed to English without using app Hackchi2.It comes with a USB power cable, but NOT a USB power supply or adapter. An old phone charger should work fine though.Google "convert super famicom mini to snes mini" if you'd like to easily convert this to English.
