So after fooling around with the SNES Classic for quite a bit. I've come to a few conclusions. Most of which I believed before getting it.
NOT SO GOOD STUFF: there is nothing about it that makes me feel it is better than any other form of emulation. getting a 3d printed mini NES or SNES case for a retro pie would be very similar the same IMO. The picture even with all the settings is not great if you're a videophile. the sound is not fantastical either. Not that either is bad, it's just once again not better than what's out there already and there are other options.
TLDR: there is nothing here for me to say that unless you are already interested, to justify you paying the price for this, there are other viable options out there.
THE GOOD STUFF: It is still cool. For a Nintendo Fan, they are a neat little nostalgia box, and it is licensed Nintendo, for whatever the legal aspects mean to you. The interface is nice as well. The controller is very similar to the original, which is slightly better than some of the other controllers I've tried so if you're a perfectionist these feel good. Plug and Play out of the box is great for audiences who don't care to mess with the PI or other emulation.
TLDR: It is plug and play, games are fun, emulation is fine, controllers and interface are nice, and hey if you like Nintendo it's worth a pickup.
