Anyone find super ghouls and ghosts slows down in places?

Top tip. The ‘amazon prime now’ app currently has this for sale for £70.

Had it a few times on Super MarioWorld when things got a bit intense, lots of enemies , moving scenery etc

I'm so annoyed at myself.......missed boat on this. Only realised a week ago it was coming out....Now cant find one cheaper than £120, and I'm not paying some scumbag double the price for touting.

I'm very late to the party with this but my Daughter and I were walking past Game earlier and I spotted one of these through the window. £69.99 later and it's sitting in my living room

Yup, that's how shopping works.

Glad i waited for this.
Nintendo weren't lying when they said there would be no shortage this time, i've just received my SNES Classic which i paid less than RRP (£69) for from Amazon. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that scalpers would have picked up loads of them from the first batch and are now sitting on consoles that they can't make any profit on because there are plenty of them to go around.

The lack of co-op games is a bit disappointing. There are some 2-player games on it but they're based on taking turns rather than playing at the same time. Mario Kart, Street Fighter and Contra 3 are the only ones that are "proper" multiplayer. Nevertheless i'm happy with it.

I remember the original had the same issue so i guess you can say it’s accurate emulation.

Those bluetooth controllers look tempting, anyone tried them ?

The controller's do look tempting. Had anyone else sideloaded more games on? I now have about 60 games now, it's great.

In the news today there's something about Microsoft and Nintendo teaming up for marketing and cross play type stuff.

Wonder if this is a good sign for the N64 mini release with Microsoft now owning a lot of the game rights through rare?

You can already play Fortnite cross platform I think between Xbox, PC and Nintendo?

I think this is referring to Minecraft. I'm just being hopefully I guess.

Given as they're back in stock at the standard price, it would be rude not to order one. Even though I own most of the games psychically, the ease of use, HDMI and save states are a big plus (yes I could just emulate, but it's never the same.) Looks like side loading games is pretty easy as well?

[Glasgowrob]

got one a few weeks back,


fantastic fun. going to side load some extra games when I get the chance, but a great little bit of kit to break out and bh slap the missus at Mario kart

[KingNothing]

I got a 2nd one the other week which I'll keep standard, going to mod my original one and add some more games to it eventually.

Sideloading is so easy with Hakchi.

Tried that today thanks, it is indeed incredibly easy and it gives an option to rest using the controller which was one of my biggest complaints out of the box. I do find the controller is a bit too small for my adult hands, and it might sound like heresy but if someone made an adaptor for the PS4 pad, I'd buy it.

As for the original games, almost all of them have stood up to the test of time and are as playable today as they have ever been. Ok Starfox is pretty ropey these days, but F-Zero is as fast an unforgiving as ever, Mario World, Mario Kart and Zelda play perfectly and Super Metroid is as atmospheric as ever.
