Perhaps out of instinct, I installed the SNES Classic in my bedroom on a "tiny" 28-inch TV.

Then, as my eldest brother went to college and the other got a better console, I got to play games in front of a tiny TV in my room.
As a kid, almost all the games I played at home were in front of a tiny TV in my brothers' room. Honestly, though, I'm only annoyed for the people I know will hate this. How simple would it be to make, say, a three-second hold of the start and select buttons return you to the main menu? Of course, this exactly mimics the original experience, but this was clearly something people didn't like about the NES Classic and it's strange that Nintendo didn't do anything to address it. If you want to go back to the menu to change a setting or swap games, you have to get up and press the reset button. Sadly, the complaints about the reset button have been ignored. It's just long enough for my apartment but still probably not up to scratch for the average American living room. While the NES Classic controller had a tiny 20-inch cable, the SNES Classic's has 43 inches to play with. It was the best controller around at the time, and there's nothing I'd rather play these games on. The controller is a faithful reproduction of the original. The first was the length of the controller cables the second, the reset button on the console itself. If you were to take a random sampling of NES Classic reviews, you'd find two issues repeated everywhere. My colleague Sean Buckley (who has been playing with the US version for our video review) tells me that the dimensions of his console "are perfect, the colors are spot on, and the power and reset buttons not only work but also feel nearly identical to the respective click and springy tactility of the originals." Here in Europe, our power button doesn't spring, but it does make a satisfying "click" when you slide it upward. It's a tiny Super Nintendo, and it looks pretty when the pads aren't plugged in. Other than that, there's little to complain about. If you're the type who unplugs everything after use, then it's probably not a big deal, but I'm not that sort of person at all. With the controllers connected, it looks a little goofy. To plug in a pad, you have to pull down a flap to reveal the actual ports beneath. I'll accept that this is a detail most people won't care about, but I dislike the fact that the "controller ports" on the front are just for show. I love the original design of the SNES, but I'm not as enamored with the miniaturization. Pretty much any USB adapter will do the trick, for what it's worth, and I just powered it from a spare USB port on my TV. Europeans just get a micro-USB cable, sans adapter, but all the games are the same. I tested the UK version, which means it's visually different (obviously I think it's prettier, but all of my US colleagues disagree). The SNES Classic, in the US at least, comes with two controllers, a micro-USB power adapter and 21 games. But nearly all the games Nintendo has included in its latest console are as enjoyable today as they were when they were first released. While I utterly adore Metroid, trying to introduce someone to the original today is tough. That puts the SNES Classic in different territory than its predecessor, which, nostalgia aside, featured many games that, for obvious reasons, aren't up to modern standards. I could go on, but essentially, short of Sonic and a few other Sega exclusives, Nintendo destroyed the competition in terms of quality, with dozens of games that have stood the test of time. For the next five years or so, some special games graced the system: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Kart, Metroid, Final Fantasy III, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Star Fox. The former is regarded as one of the greatest games of all time while the latter had faux-3D graphics with fluidity and speed unseen on a console before. The SNES arrived with Super Mario World and F-Zero, among other titles. The Genesis had a two-year head start in almost every country, but Nintendo's second-generation home console was worth the wait.
The SNES launched in '90 in Japan, '91 in the US and '92 in the UK. After dominating the 8-bit era with the NES, Nintendo came late to the party with its sequel. Having grown up with the SNES (OK, we had a Sega Genesis and my best friend had SNES), it's easy to assume that everyone knows what it is and why people are so excited that it's back. Now Nintendo has given its SNES the Classic Edition treatment and promises it's going to build way more than it did last year. The company was completely incapable of meeting demand, leaving many people unable to buy what became the must-have gift of the holiday season. The success of last year's NES Classic Edition clearly took Nintendo by surprise.
