SNES Classic hands-on: No surprises, but still a good machine

Getting my hands on a Super NES Classic brought up an interesting question: Just how much is nostalgia worth? The system feels like a faithful — if miniaturized — re-creation of the retro console that’s no greater than the sum of its parts, but it’s still worth it for those folks who want to hop in a time machine back to the early ’90s.

Those people who have seen the NES Classic know what they’re in for with its successor. The device itself is a small plastic box that plugs into power and a user’s television, and it comes with a set of 21 games. It has a few notable inclusions, including the previously unreleased Star Fox 2.
