Hey there guys, yes we're back with yet another REVEAL. This time we're un-boxing and reviewing Nintendo's Mini SNES, the latest in their miniature re-releases of classic gaming consoles. The world of gamers went insane when Nintedo announced the Mini NES some time ago and after pressing too fewer consoles to meet demand, many a nostalgic gamer was left in anger having missed out of a small piece of their childhood once again hitting shelves.
Not long after the Mini NES was released some crafty folks data-mined Nintendo's websites and found patents for a Mini SNES and a Mini Nintendo 64. Wouldn't you know mere months later preorders became available for the Mini SNES and upon their release a yesterday (here in Australia) we picked one up and decided to un-box it and review for you all.
Immediately apparent is the improved build quality. It feels sturdier and as though there is a bit more weight then the previously released Mini NES. After drvoes of people attacked Nintendo for subsequently not including a second controller for the Mini NES, the Mini SNES does in fact include 2 controllers both with much longer cords making sitting further from the T.V. possible without the need for the extensions. Inclusive of 20+ games including the previously unreleased Star Fox 2 (unlocked by beating the first level in Star Fox) and also Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars which was also unreleased here in Australia until it hit virtual console in 2008.
With fan favourites including Donkey Kon country, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and multiple Kirby and Mario titles including Mario Kart, the Mini SNES is a console filled to the brim with many a young adults childhood including our own.

About The Author:
Welcome to REWIND REPLAY! If you haven't checked the channel out before my name is Steve and love all things movies, T.V., video games and just pop culture in general and I really wanted a place I could discuss it all with others thus- REWIND REPLAY.
REWIND REPLAY is a channel for pop culture lovers of all ages to come together and jump head long into the discussion about all the latest movies, video games and television programs.
Here is what you can expect to see on REWIND REPLAY...
NEW REVIEWS- Reviews of all the latest release movies as well as the latest STAN and NETFLIX movies.
REWIND REVIEWS- Reviews of older movies.I like to look back at what the film was then and see how it has held up today. Often this will be used to build up to a new release.
RANKINGS- Once I've built up a new release movie with REWIND REVIEWS and reviewed the new film as well, I'll go ahead and RANK them from WORST to BEST!
RECASTS- This is where I take a new release movie and shift its release date by a decade or two and RECAST the movie with actors from that time.I also talk a bit about how I think the film would have looked and felt during that era and discuss who might have directed the movie and why.
5 THINGS STILL GREAT ABOUT- This is a new segment looking back at videos game of old and instead of reviewing them and pulling them apart for their dated graphics and game play, instead I look at what is STILL GREAT about the game. Fun, light-hearted and hopefully gets you looking at older games in a new light.
TOP 10's-Coming in a month or so I'll be adding TOP 10's to the agenda. These will either countdown to from 10-1 or I may make them simply 10 moments in no particular order.
