SNES Mini Classic Edition
-
@mediamogul The reason for the heightened enthusiasm for the SNES mini over the NES mini (in my opinion) is that the NES is seen as too primitive to a large portion of retro gamers these days. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and I owned a NES and an Atari 2600 before it. Both of these consoles were basically just toys to me. I wasn't truly impressed with video games until the 16-bit era. When the Genesis and SNES came out is when I became a serious gamer, so 16-bit and 32-bit titles are the ones I have the most affection for, minus exceptions like Super Mario 3 and Castlevania for the NES, and Defender and Asteroids for the 2600. I suspect this viewpoint may be fairly common among retro gamers from my generation.

@ranma I put money on it it's the sameboard as the nes mini it's a arm soc, if you search nes min classic uart it will come up in Google

@twd I agree and I've actually speculated the same thing. The original NES mini had specs similar to that of a Raspberry Pi, though with much less memory. The NES mini hardware, based on what I know about the board, is perfectly capable of SNES emulation. They probably used the same SoC, though I suspect they may have increased the storage capacity, and possibly the RAM.

@drake999 I just googled the snes mini rear and the ports match the orientation of the nes mini one is upside down .. Apparently it's as powerfull as a wii. so no n64 mini classic on that board. I suspect it's the exact same board but like you said bigger storage chip in same form factor

Well, looks like the Wii just got roasted.
