Alright, I need to tell this story since we're talking about the SNES.

So it's a couple of years ago. A rainy day. My neighbors are having a garage sale. I walk in, and I'm drawn to a bin, this MAGICAL bin...This bin contained a functional SNES, a Game Genie, about 15 games including Turtles in Time and Sunset Riders, and a bomberman party pack.

20 clams. Best. Day. EVER.

here's an even better story when i was 12 me, my cousin and a friend went to this asain guys garage sale and my friend found a original Mr. Game and Watch in mint condition with the original case for $5. Thing looked like it was never even played once. I hated him for getting it before I could.

Technically you can dump your copy of turtles of time to a Rom, and when you play it in any emulator you're playing YOUR copy.

Boo - I'd rather have a PC with SNES hardware inside. What a waste of a SNES! Think they'd let me have the guts of it if I asked nicely? ;)

I agree. It is a waste. Especially when it's the slim SNES model.

Eh, I could sacrifice my spare SNES console for this. Not my SNES Mini though, that's too near and dear to my heart.

The only thing I would have done differently--and maybe this would have been just too difficult--is to have modified a 4-play adapter into a USB hub which you could plug normal controllers into. Good, original SNES controllers are difficult to come by, and I wouldn't want to do the modding on the controller side of things if I could help it.

Doesnt that just show how far computer tech has come, I guess small electronic stuff today have faster processors than the SNES. Can still remember my first PC (maybe 10,12 years back) had a hard drive with lower capacity (2 GB) than the RAM we have today.

The iPhone could run hundreds of SNES games simultaneously.

Technology is awesome.

I still have a 80MB (yes, megabytes) hard drive laying on a shelf somewhere. Think i had a 20MB one to, but that was never from one of my computers, but rather a relic i salvaged from some old throwaways at a local business.

I personaly think it's quite telling that the Wii has to offer SNES games for download to add to it's library of good games! Especially when you can get them for free and play them on better emulators anyway.

That Super Nintendo is an probably an European model, that's why it's looks like a Super Famicom.

No. It didn't. Stop being gay.

Even WITH keyboard/mouse support for FPS, the Wii would STILL hold it's own.

You're apparently too young to remember the awesomeness of the SNES. It does pwn the Wii, and every other system ever made. Unfortunately this mod ruined a SNES, so it is officially a sucky mod.

Plz Offday, don't be so presumptuous. So i'm too young to remember the awesomeness of the SNES when i started gaming on the Atari 2600? At the age of 2!

/Fail.

I would only remotely slightly maybe THINK about considering the SNES is better than the Wii, if the Wii didn't have SNES games available to DL. But since it does, then the Wii is pwnt. Sorry.

Since the graphics card needed to play Crysis maxed out is twice the size of a SNES, i highly doubt it.
