Assuming you found one, the NES Classic Edition is a great device. The miniature console makes it easy to play all-time-great games on modern TVs. It’s success made an SNES Classic Edition inevitable. The machine comes out on September 29. It was also inevitable that if Nintendo followed the same formula, it would make another successful console.

That’s what Nintendo did, and — no surprise — the SNES Classic Edition is fantastic. It does inherit some of its predecessor’s design problems. A better library of game makes it the better retro machine.
