So...is there anybody here with an actual Super NES Classic who played it? Opinions? Or is there another thread for that?

Paper Mario Color Splash - I like the game but fuck "Sniffit or Whiffit". It's completely unfair and it grinds the game to a halt so much that I've just about lost interest.

A list of all the Sega CD/Mega CD games:
Here's a more readable, less-shouty version of your list... :-)

This is really sad to hear. My condolences to his family. Beef Drop and b*nQ are amazing 7800 ports and a proud part of my cart collection. Such a great talent. :-(

I'm game as long as they take the entire narrative of Other M and the characterization of Samus that it brought with it and chuck it in the trash.

Hopefully they're improving the product. It's neat but far from perfect. The CRT effect was overdone (IMO), the controller cords were ridiculously short, and the sound lag was off-putting. Also, the more I played it, the more I detected slight input lag as well that shows up when you're fighting Soda Popinski and later boxers. Overall it's a cool package but feels like it could've cooked a little longer.
-
At the time I didn't realize there was a crash. Still have my original console and games.

I'm seeing a lot of "this game sucked because it wasn't like the arcade" which is fair, but I was 5 when I got my Atari 2600 in 1980 and I had nothing to compare the games to. The Atari versions of Space Invaders, Defender, and Pac-Man will always be protected by my shield of nostalgia. I even prefer the 2600 version of Space Invaders over the arcade version in terms of playability, presentation, and enjoyability. And the sound effects in Defender are pretty awesome.
On topic, Superman would have to be on the list of games I don't consider "good". Maybe I didn't give it a fair shake but the map makes no logical sense to me and the overall presentation isn't compelling enough to learn the system. Frankly, I'd rather play Porky's.

That looks really cool. I recognize a number of those names from my Tricks of the Mac Game Programming Gurus book. I was just going to see if Ingemar Ragnemalm was consulted and I see he already posted in the comments section! Two of my favorite shareware games were written by him: MacSokoban and Hexmines. He also wrote the majority of the Tricks book. It looks like the author is also covering games into the 90s, which is where I started in the Mac scene.
There got a point (maybe around the 040/G3 era) where original Mac games started to disappear and all you got were ports of PC games. That's when I lost interest.
I gotta agree but I love the LucasArts games ports. The porting author, Eric Johnston, used a method of pixel smoothing that made the games look nicer on the higher-res Mac screens. Fun trivia: Eric Johnston played Sean Donovan in the 80s 'V' miniseries. I just looked at his IMDB page and it looks like he's still acting and doing stunt work as well.

My wife was out shopping and I asked her to run into Walmart to see if they had any Wii U stuff on clearance. On a whim she asked about the Switch. Long story short she got my name on the list (I was last!) and after 2 hours of standing in Walmart I just got home with a Switch, Zelda, and a Pro Controller. Too tired to do much with it tonight. I did peek inside and play with a controller though. Can't wait to play Zelda! They didn't have much for Wii U stuff. Just some Gamecube-style fighting pads.

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (Sandman and Tyson definitely get you in "the zone"; Super Macho Man as well, to a lesser extent)
Super Mario Bros. (not sure if this counts as notorious; World 3-1 infinite lives is the ticket)
Castlevania I (usually die at the reaper, beat it once, maybe twice)
Castlevania II (oh, the maps I made)
Castlevania III (yes, I used the 'Help Me' trick)
Contra (many times w/Konami code!)
Metroid (is this considered notoriously hard?)
I still haven't beat SMB 2 or 3, to my shame.
-
Contra, waterfall stage
Welp, that's the end of the thread, folks. *queue death sound in Contra*

I have added Golden Axe. I will admit, this game was originally composed in mono only audio on the Genesis so to be honest, I can't hear much of a difference between the 3438 and the 2612 in regards to these songs and this game. Still, you might hear differences all the same. I did modify the audio on this one but only to normalize all the audio since again, this game is composed with a really low initial volume as compared to most other genesis games. You can even hear the line level noise of the electronics from the Genesis in these recordings because of this.
It sounds really good! A lot clearer than my stock set-up. Thanks for recording!
-
Just started Pikmin 3 with my son (even though we're still working on the original Pikmin on GameCube).
-
Hadn't thought about Golden Axe, I will have to give it a listen and can record some tracks to try and upload if you would like? Any specific tracks? And I have to check if there is a sound menu. I think I only have the first GA as part of the 3 game cart that came with Sonic, Shinobi, and GA. I have to look.
That would be really great, thanks! There is a sound menu and any of the first four tracks would be cool to hear: (Wilderness, Turtle Village 1, Turtle Village 2, and Fiend's Path). The title music (I think it's called 'The Battle'), Battle Field, and Old Map are nice tunes as well.
-
Wow! This is the first I've heard about this. I'm not much for modifying my original hardware but this is very tempting. I'd love to hear how the music from Golden Axe sounds.

I've been playing this with my son (4) and we're enjoying it. Sure, the combat system gets repetitive after awhile but the worst part for me is not painting and flicking, but swiping through all of the cards in your inventory. When you have a ton of cards it becomes time-consuming and in some battles if you take too long the enemies will takes cards from you. I wish they would've grouped similar cards and put a number on it saying how many you had or something.
Beyond that, the puzzles are hard enough to keep it interesting and easy enough to not be boring. The writing is humorous and there are some genuinely funny moments. The artwork is also very nice. Each area is very distinct, which keeps things fresh. The bosses are pretty difficult. We've just finished our second boss and it took 3 tries (just like the first boss). I'm just glad the Save blocks are strategically placed so there's not a lot of repetition when it's Game Over.
Edit: I also have to add, I wish there were more opportunities to spend coins. By the time you beat the first boss, your coins and cards are probably going to be maxed out. I'd be happy to be able to trade coins for paint in the boss levels, for example.

I bought a Cube from a guy on Reddit a little over a year ago. I then found original disks for it on eBay and restored it to Mac OS 9 (and later installed X). I do have issues with it shutting off by itself though. The firmware is already as far as it can go (v1.4, IIRC) so it must be something else? Until I can iron that out I don't use it for anything important. It's more of a novelty of impressive design and engineering at this point.
As far as dual-booting these old Macs there really shouldn't be any problems. It's been a while but I think "folder blessing" is an issue if you're simply copying a System Folder from another drive. I've always had good luck installing from factory disks. I triple-boot my Quicksilver G4 between 9.2.2/10.4/10.5 with no issues. I don't remember doing anything special. Just booted from original install disks and formatted the new drives and did a clean install. I then used my original Tiger and Leo disks from there. I even dual-boot my old Performa 6116CD between System 7.5.5 and Mac OS 8.6 on its SCSI drive.

Sorry to hear about your kitty. I would be interested in seeing the Mac stuff, particularly the software.
-
Its not your controller its the lag of the hdmi.
I'm not sure about that. It's very responsive otherwise. The only noticeable lag I've noticed is audio lag. The controller is pretty responsive except during certain times in Punch-Out. Even if there is a slight lag Little Mac should still dodge when I tell him to. I'll have to conduct my own unscientific tests.

After playing the NES mini a bit more I'm having control issues with later boxers in Punch Out. I can normally take Soda Popinski with no problem on my real NES but for some reason when he goes back to punch on the mini, I'll press left or right to dodge and nothing happens. The controller is usually spot-on in its responsiveness but for some reason in certain cases it doesn't want to react.
-
I heard it's supposed to come with a retro style poster too, did you find that?
Yes! Although I think it would've been better if it resembled the original posters with the grid of screenshots. Still pretty neat.
-
1- Included AC adaptor? Did this change? I thought it was going to be just a USB cord for power.
Comes with AC plug. It's like a smart phone adapter: USB cable that plugs into a little AC brick. It also comes with an HDMI cable.
2- Is there a "Factory Reset" setting, or do you simply have to manually delete all the save states?
Yes, there is a system reset, thankfully! It's in the Settings menu.

So what I'm curious about.. who here got one and is good at Punchout? Can you go straight to Mr. Dream and let us know if it seems to play normally and you can dodge ok?
That's actually one of the first things I did and yes, I detected no lag in the input! I didn't last very long because I'm a bit rusty but I can't blame the controllers on that one. There is lag in the audio department, however. More here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/258901-nes-classic-edition-is-here/?p=3628855

Why I decided to auction off my outsized, decades-built collection
in Show Us Your Collection!
Posted
Perfectly stated. This is the gist for me as well. It's out of my system. I started selling off a good chunk of my collection a couple years ago and am transitioning to flash carts. I still have a lot more to sell off but needed a break after my previous purge. Good luck with your auctions!
