every button is kicking so that's the new Super Nintendo Entertainment System good about it they say it has 16-bit technology whatever that means yes Tania's Classic is finally here and thankfully unlike the NES that appears that this one's actually got a decent amount of quantity that's going around it's still saying out really fast but we were able to get our hands on one so let's open up and check it out now one thing that's cool about this one compared to the NES classic is that we actually get two controllers yeah that is pretty much a perfect recreation it was actually playing on SNES the other night so I could try to remember what it feels like and this is actually really close to sight from obviously being really friend knew and not know how old that was that thing 20 years over 20 oh that's pretty look a little guy so all the buttons get used to but instill work eject does nothing there's nothing to eject obviously the flap doesn't work on the back HDMI out along with the power cable which is the micro USB or mini USB actually yeah my girl my girl and then unlike the NES classic something I thought was interesting different on this one is they actually did little like fake ports that are like what the SNES actually had now well the basic idea here is still the same thing as the NES classic because it's a newer model engine no add a little more time to add some new upgrades to the SNES classic in comparison now first off if you look at the main screen same basic idea the UI is very similar but it's a lot flashier which I really like as far as an actual functional upgrade to go to display settings just like with the NES classic gave the option of playing in four by three a CRT filter or using pixel perfect but in addition to that since all of these modes are still gonna give you some annoying black lines on the side which you might get used to ignoring but if not you can fill them up with different frame options so you can give you a nice little border around it or you keep in fake having a CRT setup on your monitor which is actually pretty cool now one last upgrade that Nintendo did is the fact that like I said earlier the cable is longer now that I've actually had time to kind of measure compare the one on the NES classic was under three feet this one is now four and a half which is still pretty much useless for most actual real setups this is shorter than the SNES is real cables so that's a little knowing which got me to thinking of a way to fix this problem a company I've talked about before on this channel and covered a lot of accessories from is 8-bit Doan what I they've done in particular is this retro receiver right here now there's a couple different models of this thing they don't one for the actual NES the actual SNES and this one here is for the NES classic and the idea here is that just lets you use a Bluetooth controller wirelessly with your system thus saving you having to deal with cables and the idea they have is that they want you to use that with their line of retro controllers that are bluetooth allowing you to have the experience of using an SNES style controller but without the hassle of having the cable of the classic comes with because like I said bit too short but honestly not always the best choice I mean these things are super nostalgic I'm used to the feeling but it's not actually the most comfortable controller in the world sometimes so in the past on the NES classic I've used a ps4 controller works perfectly fine with the receiver but honestly for something like this that kind of feels boring to me there is something about using an actual styled controller for the SNES so I did old searching I stumbled upon this on Etsy from accel team an SNES ps4 controller there's some really cool detail on this thing obviously all the colors match I really liked how they took the extra step though of putting the Super Nintendo logo on the touch bar so I was super excited to use this with the SNES classic which we tested a bit ago and it didn't exactly go as planned all right yeah so far so good I think it's working let's do Street Fighter I know what all the buttons do and then we'll just yeah cuz then wait no no no okay so it works every button is kick and by that I mean I think every but like it's it's the B and the a button i think is what kick should be so it's reading everything is b an a like an nes actually it's not x and y do not x and y just do the same thing that's it every button is kick this is not every button is kick okay so the problem here wasn't the controller itself i've used it on the NES classic and it works fine the issue is the fact that that retro receiver i talked about actually needs to be patch to work with the SNES classic which i didn't really think of that firmware isn't up yet but 8-bit doe has mentioned they are planning to do an update soon so it'll work so really excited when i can do that but for now i would like to have access to more buttons than just kick just like the NES classic i think this thing is an awesome little collectible for anyone who's a fan of old-school retro gaming and hopefully unlike the NES it's gonna be a little easier to get a hold of it already looks like stocks are a bit better so in a few weeks it's not gonna be a situation where we're gonna see them being scalped for $300 a piece either way i'm gonna link it down below and amazon hopefully some more pop up for you guys to grab and if you really like this design of this SNES ps4 controller make sure to check out XL team on etsy they've got a whole lot of other custom paint jobs like this that are just so awesome looking make sure to give them a look
