Thank god for the long HDMI cable that came with my Xbone. With it, I was able to extend the cables on my SNES classic far enough that I can play it while lying down in bed.
Dipped into a handful of games last night after work, and I'm kind of surprised at how much I got into Super Castlevania IV. It's a game I've purchased on both Virtual Consoles & I've never felt the drive to get beyond the 2nd or 3rd stage. On the SNES Classic with a proper SNES controller, though, I got all the way to the treasure room stage before wanting to get to other things. The power of the right controller, I suppose.
Also, is it just me or does the music in these games sound better on the SNES C than they did on the Wii or Wii U VCs?
I REALLY wish you didn't have to press the reset button to switch games or change options, because that gets really annoying.
Next, I played some Star Fox, and IMO that game holds up very well from a gameplay standpoint & some stages (I.e. the Space Armada) are still amazing. The low framerate's unfortunate, but I kind of enjoy the abstract look of the game and there's still a great sense of speed to the game I haven't really felt from the later Star Fox games. Plus, that soundtrack is still amazing & iconic.
Star Fox 2, though? Eh...I think Miyamoto was right to shelve that one, as it kind of sucks. Yeah, the changes to the gameplay are theoretically interesting, but they significantly slow the game to a crawl & there isn't anything in the game particularly exciting or memorable. The game REALLY needed some on-rails gameplay, and the final boss is just lame.
Looking forward to finally playing Terranigma & Lufia 2 on this thing once the modders are done with it
