However, I appreciate the SNES Classic's choice of screen borders, a feature missing from the NES Classic. The CRT filter is OK the novelty wears off quickly. You have your choice of pixel-perfect resolution, 4:3 resolution, and a CRT filter that places scanlines over the screen. And if I didn't notice any problems, Joe Walmart-the nostalgic impulse-buyer for whom the system is tailored for first and foremost-certainly won't. While I'm sure there are a few discrepancies here and there (in his review of the NES Classic edition, for example, Parish noticed some games have fewer flashing lights, no doubt to diminish the possibility of epileptic episodes), they're not noteworthy. With that in mind, the SNES Classic's emulation gets a thumbs-up. I can't break down hardware performance to a pixel-level like fair Master Parish, but I'm capable of telling good game emulation from sloppier efforts. Well, if wishes were Yoshis, beggars would ride. I would've also loved to see Quintet's "lost" Soul Blazer action-RPG trilogy on there. The game lineup for the SNES Classic is incredible, but the addition of Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country 2, and Actraiser would make it worthy of outright worship. Final Fantasy VI's soundtrack should be poured directly into everyone's ears. True, there wasn't one on the vanilla SNES, but the SNES Classic would seriously benefit. Tampering with the hardware runs the risk of bricking it, so muck around at your own peril. Heck, the system's not even a day old, and Star Fox 2 has already been extracted. That didn't stop people from hacking the NES Classic / Famicom Mini in ten seconds flat, and I've no doubt people will do the same with the SNES Classic to add more games to its menu. Again, like the NES Classic, Nintendo built the SNES Classic as a closed system.
