Didn’t realize the gaming historian has been around this long. Nintendo did end up making new versions of the Wii in the form of the version without GameCube playback, and the Wii mini, and more recently there’s been revisions of the Switch as well. Interesting seeing these compared in the grand scheme of things.

What is ironic about all of this is that in 2009 no one knew the value of these, whereas in 2019 the SNES Jr. is coveted as the best of the three-styles of SNES (SNES Multi-Chip, SNES 1-Chip, SNES Jr 1-Chip) as having the absolute best picture quality (paired with an RGB mod) and having the best controllers paired with them. Insane how things change over time. Love my SNES Jr. and wouldn't trade it for anything.

I found an SNES 101 hidden on a storage shelf in late 1999 when I worked in the electronics section at Walmart. I didn't know the redesign existed, but I bought it as my original SNES had a broken part. My SNES 101 still works perfectly in 2022. When I started woodworking, I built gaming towers for my consoles and put little blocks at the front of the SNES 101's slot so I couldn't accidentally pull it off the tower during normal gameplay, something that had happened a lot. It's easily my lightest console.

You've really came a long way with these videos production-wise. Keep it up, I enjoy the videos you post.

I have the SNES 2. By the time I got it, I already had the N64. But my grandpa owned the original SNES since launch, and I enjoyed that so much, I even got a couple of my own games for it (most important of which was the Super Game Boy). So it was definately worthwhile for me to get me my own SNES when the SNES 2 came out, especially since I'd also be getting my own copy of Yoshi's Island. I still own it, and in fact I still play it today.

Fun fact: those controllers you got are regular-SNES controllers. The controller bundled with the SNES 2 (SNS-101) have the Nintendo embossed into the plastic rather than printed onto

I prefer the SNES 2 because the outer plastic on the top is strong and sturdy while sometimes the plastic on an original model can break easily.

It's just too bad that the first redesigned Nintendo console in over a decade turned out to be the Wii Mini, which was almost completely unnecessary. The Wii Mini retailed for $99 and by the time it was released, you could easily find a regular Wii for the same price, if not somewhat cheaper and still have all the features that were removed such as WiFi capabilities (which are unfortunately gone now), the Gamecube backwards compatibility as well as Gamecube controller ports.

RageUnchained Well, I think I'd beg to differ on _that_ one. Despite the rough way Nintendo allowed it's users to play their old Wii games on their Wii Us, it still upscaled them quite well. Apart from that, the Wii U has sported some great games that, although look suspiciously similar in terms of graphics that we're all too familiar with from last gen; are still a significant enough leap from the original Wii's capabilities, especially due to the fact that the Wii U is Nintendo's first HD console. Now, while I would also go as far to say that Nintendo could've gone further with their graphical update, they've still done some wondrous things with what they've got and, as silly as it sounds, I often find myself distracted by how _fun_ their more recent games have been and I barely even think about Nintendo's graphics engines. :)

This was my first major purchase as a kid. I remember I got it right when it was new just after my 7th birthday. I had been desperately wanting yoshi's island and all I had access to up to this point were my neighbor's nes and genesis. For a kid that had saved up all year for it, the snes 2 was perfect at $99 even if it didn't have s video or rf.

The newer model 1 actually has the same hardware inside but S-video and RGB are left intact. The mini can output gorgeous RGB/S-video with a simple mod.

Reviews on video systems are my favorite. I'd love to see 15-20 minute reviews on every video game system that existed. Or a long review on the entire history of video games starting with the Magnavox Odyssey and working all the way up to present time. That would be like a full movie.

I came to watch this again after I just bought a Snes 2 cheap. The store I bought it from claimed it was broken and they couldn't get it to work at all. It was cosmetically perfect so I bought it with no cables or controllers for 20. Opened it up, checked the joints on the video port and tested it. Works perfect now, except for the fact that it is unmodded Snes 2 but I will be fixing that shortly. All in all it's a great little system that didn't get the respect it deserved.

Its interesting looking back at this video, especially the end since you mentioned that the N64 and GameCube never got a re-design. You also questioned whether we would see the Wii get re-designed. Crazy foreshadowing given that the Wii did eventually get a re-design in the form of the Wii Mini.

The problem is that I would sometimes get that static buzzing noise while trying to play games or watch DVDs (in PlayStation 2's case). In late 2005 or early 2006, my sister gave me her old DVD Player which came with an RF Modulator box. I just hook the AV cables for whatever console I'm using or the DVD Player into the Modulator & well.... No annoying static buzzing noise anymore. I use that RF Modulator with Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 & Sega Genesis now too. No problems whatsoever.

snes 2 was my first real console and I got it with yoshis island for my 6th birthday ^-^

I don't know if anyone commented on this, as I'm late to the game. However, there was a serious flaw with the SNES 2. Because there was no eject button, the ROM cart had to be easier to discharge from the reader, which meant that it didn't fit in nearly as snug as the SNES 1. The major issue with this was that the game might turn off in mid-playing if you jostled the console (picked up, etc). If it was a game with a memory chip for saving data, this would mean that there would be a high chance of data loss, which happened twice to me, making my experience with this system very unhappy.

You have some great content in your older videos. I noticed the older vids are extremely short, maybe just lack of info on the topics. I would love to see updates longer videos on these subjects, like 20-30 min or longer. Great work either way

This is the one I was lucky enough to have. Brought me and my sister lots of joy

Wow 2009

The wii mini does that count

Azriel animations no. We don’t speak of the Wii Mini.

My brother and I got this model as a joint gift from our parents on his birthday. Had a lot of good times on this console. I didn't even realize the original SNES had an eject button since I never owned one. That's actually a nice feature, but not necessary. I'm guessing the SNES 2 was cheaper than the original and that's why we got that one.

Hello Gaming Historian. I am a new subscriber. Your videos are well thought out and entertaining. Nice work!

+GameCube Joey it's a JVC video standard that uses a DIN plug with two signals (luma and chroma) so the quality is much better than composite video but not quite as good as RGB / component video.

YinDragon665 The Wii U was/is kinda more of a half-successor to the Wii instead of a remake as the S/NES 2 were. Sony and Microsoft definitely made quite a few remakes of their consoles but they usually came with a higher price tag than the system they replaced since they commonly added or refined features in the original models.

More time as has passed between when this video was uploaded and now, than between when this video was uploaded and Nintendo ended production of the SNES.

Watching in 2018... wow, your production values have gone WAY up!

wii mini time

the wii mini is the other wii.

+awesomeferret There was also the Wii model 2, released before this video was made (08, if i remember correctly?) so there's that, but it had no coverage and I only remember it cause my buddy bragged about getting it, and said it was better than my red Wii, until he soon realized his couldn't play GC games and i had the last laugh.
