I got a SNES Classic for my birthday. The stock at my local game store was actually quite good. I didn't get the NES Classic, but my friends do have one. I'm really happy to have it, the SNES is one of my favourite consoles ever. As a thought on a theoretical N64 Classic... I'm a bit concerned about the controller, and this time it isn't the cord, it's the design of the controller itself. I'm sorry, but the N64 controller was poorly designed compared to the excellence of the ones on NES, SNES, and GCN. That's one system I'd gladly use the Wii's Classic Controller over having one accurate to the original.
Indrijid EarthBound alone is worth the price. There are 2 reasons. One, it's my favourite video game. And two, the actual cartridge is more than twice the price of the actual SNES Classic.
Draster Thats How I first played it. I got it for the Wii U. My GF bought me the cartridge for my birthday, I got the Japanese cartridge and now I have it for the SNES Classic. Yeah I'm a MOTHER fanatic.
A big thing I would change about these consoles is making them be able to go online. There are so many amazing titles that aren't included. Being able to go online to purchase and download additional titles would've been a really nice touch.

I was so happy to get a SNES Classic yesterday. Finally getting to play some games that I don't have in my collection. Never got a NES Classic during its first run: hope I can get one in 2018.
Heisenberg - haha the ironic thing is our GameCube still works perfectly fine today, but we only got our Wii a few years or so after it and it got so old it can't properly read some games anymore (e.g. Super Smash Bros. Brawl, some of my cousin's games, etc.). I believe our GameCube is around 11 years old (I just know that it's definitely over 10 years old) and our Wii is 9 years old lol
I've been fortunate to hold onto mine that I got 12 years ago. I can never get rid of it because I have a newer generation Wii that doesn't have the backwards compatibility to the GameCube. And if we really want to talk about old games consoles, I never upgraded past my PS2.
me to kinda. but they wont have banjo kazooie and dk 64 on it and other that thouse i only play pokemon and zelda and mario and i allready own both zelda and mario on the 3ds
When they inevitably do I really hope that they give us the option to enable higher resolution textures. IMO the N64 has the second or third worst looking graphics out of all of Nintendo's consoles (with the Virtual Boy being the worst and the NES being either second or 3rd depending on the game) because of how polygonal and low-res everything was.
Jonnyboi: Why do you think they won't have Banjo or DK64? Is it because Rare developed them? Because Rare also made Donkey Kong Country, and that's on the SNES Mini.
Donovan Spencer Rare doesn't own DKC though and that's a pretty huge distinction. Nintendo only commissioned Rare to make DKC, but all of Rare's original IPs (Banjo, Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct, Jet Force Jemini, Blast Corps, and Conker) are now owned by Microsoft. Its highly unlikely that MS would allow Nintendo to use these titles on a N64 Mini. This is a pretty big problem, at least imo, as this cuts off many of the N64's top tier games. Like let's do a quick list of games: LoZ: OoT LoZ: MM Super Mario 64 Paper Mario Harvest Moon 64 Ogre Battle 64* Star Fox 64 Super Smash Bros. Resident Evil 2* Mario Kart 64 Mystical Ninja starring Goemon* Goemon' Great Adventure* Sin & Punishment F-Zero X DK 64 Pokémon Stadium* Pokémon Stadium 2* Pokémon Puzzle League Pokémon Snap Mischief Makers Rayman 2* Mario Party* Mario Party 2 Mario Party 3* Bomberman 64* Bomberman 64 2nd attack* Space Station Silicon Valley Mega Man Legends 64 There are others like Mario Tennis/Golf, Turok games, Dr Mario 64, Pilot Wings 64, and various racing/sports titles (a few wrestling games are really popular, but once again highly unlikely due to licensing constraints) that I am not going to get into, but will definitely have some titles on it. The titles with an asterisks on it are possible, but highly unlikely. The list is also has a very sameness feel to the titles, like they're all in one or two genres. I guess this all would be representative of the N64 though, as it really struggled with diversity of titles for its library. It's a great system, but it's library just isn't great, it's got maybe fifty or sixty games that are really still worth playing today and most of those are made by two companies, Nintendo and Rare and one of those company's titles won't be featured on the N64 classic sadly.
lol why buy an SNES classic when you can just buy the original games and play them by psychically reading the cartridge's contents and emulating it in your brain?
HylianGamer no it's really not. A NES alone is about 40-60, and total cost of just the carts for the games in the NES classic is about 89-150 total. So no it's not cheaper, maybe in the 90's and early 2000's sure but not today
PelswickFan123 because the og systems are getting old and some are even starting to fail, plus some of these games aren't cheap even without the box an og version of Zelda 1 will cost you $30!
I'd honestly say that the *Japanese NES (i.e. Famicom) and European SNES* console designs (which are the two oldest console that I owned and grew-up with back in the 90s) look better than the US version designs IMO.
Not many games to go through for that one. We could potentially have every single game for that piece of... "interesting" console. But, it better have the option to plug into your TV because who would want to relive the headaches (Or experience them for the first time)?
Actually with the Virtual Boy classic if there were one to come out, would have all 22 games released for it. The 14 released here in the US and the 8 that were exclusive to Japan.
The best thing about the NES/SNES classic: how hard it is to get them. Seriously tho, Nintendo throws such a hissy fit over emulation when they couldn't be bothered to distribute enough emulators/roms themselves. Smh. Though the release of the SNES classic is at least better...if only slightly.
Great review! As a collector who already owns alot of these games on an actual SNES already, I don't feel like I need to get a classic edition. However, it is Definately worth the investment since buying original copies of these games will probably put you over $1000 margin. (Games like Earthbound alone, cost $300.) But I hope Nintendo can keep up!
To be honest sitting on the floor to play the games brings you back to childhood, maybe i'm the only one here but when I was a kid I ALWAYS sat on the floor when playing on my Games Consoles and in fact I still do even with the wireless controller consoles, I can't help it I just feel so comfortable and in the zone on the floor. Probably why I have terrible posture too but oh well.
if you hate the controllers you are missing the point. you are supposed to play on the floor and remember the days of large CRT tvs and the warm glow as you game for hours.
Personally, I think it's just Nintendo being Nintendo and cutting costs at the expense of the player. Saying that the controllers were made to replicate sitting on the floor next to TV like in the old days would be valid reason if the cords were just as long as the original. Problem is that the cords are noticably shorter and TVs these days are much bigger. I don't have a problem with the idea of "replicating the olden days." In fact I like it. It's why I have no problem with how switching games work: get up off the couch and switch the games. I just want a longer controller cord.
3:28 Actually if you use a Wii Classic Controller, the home button on the controller acts as the reset button, which is why I prefer playing with that over the standard controllers that come shipped with it.
To anyone having an issue with the controller wire length, my solution to that was a longer HDMI cable, and sitting the console itself closer to me, that way you don't have to get up and reset and burn your eyes out sitting close to your television, it's just way more convenient that way.
Regarding going back to the home menu: If you own a Wii Classic Controller or CC Pro, you can use the home button on that to go back to the NES Classic or SNES Classic home menu. Unfortunately there's no way to do that w/ the included gamepad, but you can restart the game by holding L + R + Start + Select.
yes I never had a n64 I was lured over to sony at around about the same time and couldn't afford both so I have never really played any n64 games and would love the opportunity to own and play up to 15 games I've never touched before
Orrenn I disagree, up to 150$ or more could mean that it only costs 10¢, where it costs a lot gives a price range of expensive. More vague would be, it has a cost.
Futuristic271 Touche. You got me there. Seriously though, he clearly meant 150 and up. He just used some extra unnecessary words that confused the meaning. Just a mistake is all.
I work at Walmart so I was able to snag a mini SNES quite easily. Only 20 people lined up at my store to buy one and half of them were re sellers. As far as the NES Classic, it honestly was dumb luck that I even found one. My pharmacist told me there was one back there so I took my break and immediately ran back there to buy it. I eventually ended up buying an extender for the cord after unsuccessfully purchasing and returning a third party controller that didn't even work when I plugged it in. Thankfully, I don't need to buy a second controller seeing as the official NES Classic controllers are also nonexistent. They also make great set pieces for my bookshelf along with my amiibos when I'm not playing them.
Seriously? Stop complaining about the cord length. You need to have the systems at an arms reach in order to change games, create save states and rewind. The HDMI wires are extra long to accommodate having the system close to you. Other than that, keep up the good work TheJWittz!
Adam Sampson yup that's what I said. I have so many HDMI cords from other things that are long just not being used and long HDMI cords aren't even expensive
Adam Sampson while yes you do need to be close to the console to change it. It's also annoying that you have to sit super close to your TV if you don't have an extension cord
Hey Jwittz, what about making a Top 10 video of each of the classic systems on the top 10 best games from each one? And might as well make a Top 10 Worst games on each classic system, would really like to hear your opinion on them!! Thank you, and keep up the entertaining content!
Chaos89P DK is a Nintendo franchise. Rare never owned Donkey Kong, just made some games for Nintendo using the license. We won't see any actual Rare games on an N64 classic, but will see Donkey Kong 64 at least. Diddy Kong Racing is a no go due to Banjo and Conker. Goldeneye would also be impossible due to licensing.
You never know. We have Capcom, Konami and Square-Enix games in the NES/SNES classic. If there could me a deal with them there can also be a deal with Microsoft (plus, Minecraft is on Switch and 3DS, so its not unheard of)
I would have made it a 30 game console by adding: Super Street Fighter II, Chrono Trigger, Sunset Riders, Kirby's Adventure 3, Final Fight 2, Mega Man 7, Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Super Mario All-Stars, and Street Fighter Alpha 2.
Ok, more games could have been included, different games, but judge it for what it is rather than what it isn't. Each offers a near authentic experience for a fraction of the cost it would be to amass all the games included on each.
Every time I see Jwittz in that costume in the intro it keeps reminding me of when Chris Chan dressed as Ash Ketchum to play Pok'emon at the Game Place.
I meant a version of the NES classic and SNES classic that plays only JRPGs. While the Classics have their share of JRPGs, it would be nice if they included JRPGs that never got an English release before like Sweet Home on NES and Shin Megami Tensei on the SNES.
I know what you were saying, I was just being facetious. While sure, it would be nice to live in a world where that kind of thing can happen, you have to remember that Nintendo is taking a risk by re-releasing their older games to a modern audience, even if a good chunk of the people buying this are part of the older gaming generation. They can't afford to make their classic console have literally only one genre make an appearance, because the appeal for that is so niche it doesn't make sense from a business perspective. The only smart decision is to do what they did and have a wide variety of titles to choose from. Titles that, I hope I need not point out, Nintendo still actually has the rights to use.
Just buy them all from the Wii's Virtual Console. Aside from Japan-only releases (which require knowledge of Japanese to play, anyway), they've got every major JRPG release from the time on there, including ones from other systems like the Phantasy Star games, except you'll need a Wii U for "Earthbound" or "Earthbound Beginnings."
Compucles Just emulate the Japanese-only ones, many have probably been fan translated and Nintendo wasn't going to get any money from you for those games anyway as they aren't selling them here.
These things are designed to be scarce. These are supposed to be rare drops that Nintendo wants die hard fans to have, so I don't mind it being hard to get your hands on. That's what their purpose is. Now the switch that's the true baby right there
I'm sorry, the NES and SNES classics are just something I can't support. Ignoring the pretty small game library, the NESC having just one controller, the incredibly short controllers, I can't support Nintendo's stupid 'artificial demand' plan of action. "Hmmm, you know what we should do instead of making enough of our console, probably allowing us to make more money?", "What?", "MAKE ONLY A FEW! Scalpers will find a way to get a ton of them, and then they will sell them for extra money that we will never see any of!" I'm just going to be a scumbag and stick to emulating. It's free, I don't have to wake up at 6am to get one, and I don't have to spend $200 if I don't wake up at 6am.
I'm rating them an 'out of stock' out of 10.
That sounds like something ProJared would say lol
SupremeMarioGamer nice pfp

KingDyste I’d like if they simply threw in a new controller
Imagine a Game Boy Classic and how tiny it would be.
I want that so badly! They would keep it regular sized though.
And it'd probably have a rechargeable battery.
introducing, gameboy microscopical. it fits in an atom 💯
Introducing the mini gameboy!! It cost $3,000,000 and is the size of a shoelace tip!
Kristi Foley - do you mean the size of an aglet? **a-g-l-e-t, don't forget it...**
I waited in front of a Walmart for three hours to get a SNES. (They had 24 in stock) The hours I'll be playing Earthbound alone are worth it!
Indrijid EarthBound alone is worth the price. There are 2 reasons.
One, it's my favourite video game. And two, the actual cartridge is more than twice the price of the actual SNES Classic.
LUCKY!!!
Pierre Begley I'll just get it on the eshop

Only if TFS is uncensored. Otherwise I'll just stick with my WW Wii U.
For a system to be called 'classic', the source material has to be...you know, *CLASSIC*
Waluigi deserve his own game But the Switch was already released.

$80 Emulator that is way understocked. That’s the most Nintendo thing I have ever heard.
The games would cost you 170 pounds if you brought these on virtual console.
lol
Jake .06 yea buy noeones gonna be able to get the snes classic
Well try to play emulated games co-op. You can't.
You can, but it is extremely finicky and even buggy depending on the emulator. Definitely better off with co-op on a real console
“But even the idea of playing more for these consoles are a little ridiculous.”

If it was REALLY authentic the SNES would be yellowed.
Well then that makes me feel old... even though I probably wasn't even born when my brother got his SNES......
Only if you're a smoker, and not properly cleaned the console occasionally like you should.

Unfortunately there's no way to do that w/ the included gamepad, but you can restart the game by holding L + R + Start + Select.
Anyone else not get either one? I don't even want the n64 mini to happen because scalpers.
GOT DA POKE They don't help the economy, idiot. Most scalpers are already rich, so the only winners are the people who are already fortunate.
I really want an N64 Classic. It’s one of my favorite consoles (sorry NES, SNES)
yes I never had a n64 I was lured over to sony at around about the same time and couldn't afford both
so I have never really played any n64 games and would love the opportunity to own and play up to 15 games I've never touched before
These don't interest me. If they do a Gameboy classic I'm in but I think the world will riot for them.
I have both and really want the N64 version.
If this keeps up, i hope we get the gamecube classic as well someday.
If only they had games that were originally Japanese only on the SNES. That way I could officially play FE4 and 5.
DragonRider1396 I approve.
DragonRider1396 And Shin Megami tensei 1, 2, and if..
Maybe look at the SFC (Super Famicom) library, see if they have some of the games you want.
Surey D I'll see if that's the case (though I'll need to learn Japanese)
There is indeed a Fire Emblem game (Mystery of the Emblem) on the Super Famicom version.

Futuristic271 Touche. You got me there. Seriously though, he clearly meant 150 and up. He just used some extra unnecessary words that confused the meaning. Just a mistake is all.
I work at Walmart so I was able to snag a mini SNES quite easily. Only 20 people lined up at my store to buy one and half of them were re sellers. As far as the NES Classic, it honestly was dumb luck that I even found one. My pharmacist told me there was one back there so I took my break and immediately ran back there to buy it. I eventually ended up buying an extender for the cord after unsuccessfully purchasing and returning a third party controller that didn't even work when I plugged it in. Thankfully, I don't need to buy a second controller seeing as the official NES Classic controllers are also nonexistent. They also make great set pieces for my bookshelf along with my amiibos when I'm not playing them.
Oh wow Nintendo understocking who would have guessed
buster only full screen mode captions on boss rush their doing better this time though.
THANKYOU . I was beginning to think I was the only one upset by them not having Chrono Trigger
Seriously? Stop complaining about the cord length. You need to have the systems at an arms reach in order to change games, create save states and rewind. The HDMI wires are extra long to accommodate having the system close to you. Other than that, keep up the good work TheJWittz!
Adam Sampson yup that's what I said. I have so many HDMI cords from other things that are long just not being used and long HDMI cords aren't even expensive
The in box HDMI cord is actually quite small.
Adam Sampson while yes you do need to be close to the console to change it. It's also annoying that you have to sit super close to your TV if you don't have an extension cord
It's not that hard to get up and hit one switch then sit back down. Are you playing the games for like less than 5 minutes each?
Hey Jwittz, what about making a Top 10 video of each of the classic systems on the top 10 best games from each one? And might as well make a Top 10 Worst games on each classic system, would really like to hear your opinion on them!!
Thank you, and keep up the entertaining content!
Sadly if we do ever get a N64 mini it will likely be void of any Rare games (so like half the n64's good games)
Considering DKC is on this, I kinda doubt it. It might have a couple.
Chaos89P DK is a Nintendo franchise. Rare never owned Donkey Kong, just made some games for Nintendo using the license.
We won't see any actual Rare games on an N64 classic, but will see Donkey Kong 64 at least. Diddy Kong Racing is a no go due to Banjo and Conker.
Goldeneye would also be impossible due to licensing.
You never know. We have Capcom, Konami and Square-Enix games in the NES/SNES classic. If there could me a deal with them there can also be a deal with Microsoft (plus, Minecraft is on Switch and 3DS, so its not unheard of)
AndresLionheart yeah Microsoft has been open to working with Nintendo in the past, like offering to have banjo in smash
Nah, we had a ton of awesome N64 games not made by Rare
I have both of these and i think they're both fantastic.
Maybe a GB Classic...
Dad got me a SNES classic edition yesterday. it was lit
Pocky and Rocky?
Mystical Ninja?Chrono Trigger?
Mega Man X2?
Donkey Kong country 2
Come on Nintendo
I would have made it a 30 game console by adding: Super Street Fighter II, Chrono Trigger, Sunset Riders, Kirby's Adventure 3, Final Fight 2, Mega Man 7, Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Super Mario All-Stars, and Street Fighter Alpha 2.
Ok, more games could have been included, different games, but judge it for what it is rather than what it isn't. Each offers a near authentic experience for a fraction of the cost it would be to amass all the games included on each.
I wanted to see Kirby's Dreamland 3.
In the words of my kindergarten teacher,
You get what you get and you don't get upset.
Just got my snes classic for $80 at target. I wasn’t even looking for one and when I found one I freaked.
i wish snes classic had terranigma
I just noticed that the controller plugs and sockets on the Classic systems are the exact same design as the Wiimote and Nunchuk's
One of these are not like the other
One of these things..doesn't belong.
i don ged it
Green Mario ged
Green Mario sesame street
You mean the SNES? They exist in 2 versions.
Lucky to have the Nes and Snes Classic!
I wish these consoles had japanese games we didn't get a chance to play like the fire emblem games and the secret of mana 2
Adam Sao atleast Europe got some US/JP only games like Earthbound
Nintendo isn't going to spend all the money needed to localize them just for these mini consoles.
My friend has the NES classic and I'm super jealous, I want one so bad but I'm not sure if I want to give in to the scalpers..
You know the short Wire is fixed if you just put a desk next to the couch and place the console there right next to you.
They are currently available in my area.
Just give me the GameCube mini pls
Ben Shaul long ways away pal
BellowSubZero Ik
Can't you put the console on the floor, how long is the wire from the console to the tv?
GBA Classic plz
David Wu with mother 3
David Wu The GBA isn't that old though.
David Wu Game Boy Macro. there you go.
Every time I see Jwittz in that costume in the intro it keeps reminding me of when Chris Chan dressed as Ash Ketchum to play Pok'emon at the Game Place.
Wake me up when we get a game cube mini
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
wake me up when we get a Dreamcast mini
just got the snes clasic mini and added my own snes collection to it well worth the money
If they sell a JRPG version of the NES classic and SNES classic with a decent library of games, then I'll buy it.
ZuperNEZ Last I checked, Final Fantasy, EarthBound, Secret of Mana, and Mario RPG are all JRPGs.
I meant a version of the NES classic and SNES classic that plays only JRPGs. While the Classics have their share of JRPGs, it would be nice if they included JRPGs that never got an English release before like Sweet Home on NES and Shin Megami Tensei on the SNES.
I know what you were saying, I was just being facetious. While sure, it would be nice to live in a world where that kind of thing can happen, you have to remember that Nintendo is taking a risk by re-releasing their older games to a modern audience, even if a good chunk of the people buying this are part of the older gaming generation. They can't afford to make their classic console have literally only one genre make an appearance, because the appeal for that is so niche it doesn't make sense from a business perspective. The only smart decision is to do what they did and have a wide variety of titles to choose from. Titles that, I hope I need not point out, Nintendo still actually has the rights to use.
Just buy them all from the Wii's Virtual Console. Aside from Japan-only releases (which require knowledge of Japanese to play, anyway), they've got every major JRPG release from the time on there, including ones from other systems like the Phantasy Star games, except you'll need a Wii U for "Earthbound" or "Earthbound Beginnings."
Compucles Just emulate the Japanese-only ones, many have probably been fan translated and Nintendo wasn't going to get any money from you for those games anyway as they aren't selling them here.
You should make a video about what games you would like to see on an N64 mini
It doesn't have CHRONO TRIGGER!?
WHAT THE HECK, NINTENDO!?
3:22 actually if you own a Wii classic controller if you click the home button it will reset it
These things are designed to be scarce. These are supposed to be rare drops that Nintendo wants die hard fans to have, so I don't mind it being hard to get your hands on. That's what their purpose is. Now the switch that's the true baby right there
KHmaster523 Since Nintendo's a company whose main market is casual gamers, that'd be pretty counter-intuitive.
Shill.
SNES classic was easy to come by near my area. It's always available at Target.
Their saving Tetris for Gameboy classic
Hey Jwittz, I know this video is a bit old, so I don't except you to respond, but where'd you get the amiibo display case in the background at 8:42?
20 years later:Nintendo switch *classic*
Wow. I didn't even know these were a thing. That's pretty cool.
Dat audio sinc tho 0_0
BionicMan I thought it was just me
He literally said in the beginning that his microphone wasn't working.
Super Saiyan Devil I know, but I thought the sync issue was my Bluetooth.
All I got from this video is that there will someday be little baby JWittz's
I'm sorry, the NES and SNES classics are just something I can't support. Ignoring the pretty small game library, the NESC having just one controller, the incredibly short controllers, I can't support Nintendo's stupid 'artificial demand' plan of action. "Hmmm, you know what we should do instead of making enough of our console, probably allowing us to make more money?", "What?", "MAKE ONLY A FEW! Scalpers will find a way to get a ton of them, and then they will sell them for extra money that we will never see any of!"
I'm just going to be a scumbag and stick to emulating. It's free, I don't have to wake up at 6am to get one, and I don't have to spend $200 if I don't wake up at 6am.
Yeah I might just go to emulation at this point. Nintendo has seriously disappointed me.
Or you could be a law abiding citizen and just buy the ones you want from the Wii or Wii U Virtual Consoles like I did.
Wow! How did you capture it? What setup do you use to play them? Awesome colors, resolution, etc...
First, best TH-camr
I just happened to be at Walmart today and saw them in stock I instantly grabbed it and bought it
I got them both yesterday from GameStop online yesterday
You can use the Wii classic controller’s home button in place of the reset
I want both of these so bad... I hope I will be able to find one at retail...
when you mod it you can add a restart function on your controller
Do you need a certain tv for these consoles to work
The “Home” button on the Wii Classic Controller acts as a Reset as well.
