Controller leads are too short
So that's the SNES Classic Mini, and after a day or so spent with it we're already quite taken with the thing. It works like a charm, has a phenomenal roster of games and costs a quarter of the price of a Nintendo Switch. What more could you want? Oh righ...

Above all else, the Nintendo Classic Mini is an authentic retro gaming experience. There's no internet connectivity here, no online leaderboards, no downloadable extras, and no patches.It's a warts-and-all experience, and it means that if you want to reli...

The Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System is a console that prizes retro authenticity over modern convenience. While the overall result is that it positively oozes charm, it does mean it has a couple of inconvenient elements, such as having...
Although the NES Classic has some flaws - namely the ridiculously short controller cable - we can't help but recommend getting one if you can find it in stock. This is little bundle of joy offers insanely good value for those who want to relive days gone...

Abstract: It is not a ridiculous overstatement to suggest that the Nintendo Entertainment System saved the games industry. Back in early 1980s, when the company released its fledgling console in Japan (where it was known as the Famicom), the business was undergoing...
Controller leads are only 70cm long, Can't add any more games
There are things the Nintendo Classic Mini could do better. I'd like a plug adapter, automatic restore point saves and longer controller leads. If you're looking for a bit of nostalgic comfort this Christmas, however, you could certainly do a lot worse th...

That's the magical thing about Nintendo Classic Mini: it captures the imagination like no other console we've seen this year. Big kids, actual kids and people who'll claim to know better come flocking in its direction once they've seen Donkey Kong playing...
