Be honest, how much time did you spent on NES/SNES Classic?

Maybe 10 hours on my 2016 NES Classic with tons of added ROMs. Every few months I'll power it on and check out unfamiliar NES games and arcade adaptations (Zaxxon!)

I haven't open the box yet.

Not much. Easier to play the stuff I wanted on 3DS.

Beat LTTP, beat Super Metroid, have a strong intention to play other stuff once I beat ELEX and play MHW.

A couple friends have them but I've never used one on a TV that didn't add enough input latency to ruin the games.

Just this weekend almost 10 hours of pokemon crystal on the snes classic. Best way to play.

I've been really enjoying playing Secret of Mana on mine. I never had an SNES so there are a lot of games on the classic I never got to play.

Not that much. My backlog is too big and I already finished a large portion of the best of the NES/SNES libraries back in the day.

I still haven't seen them on store shelves but I have played plenty of NES and SNES games on real hardware in the time they have been out.

So once a week you force your family to play old games they don't want to? :P

Barely any time, but I'm super busy. One day I will have time to revisit all of those games that I'd like to. Plus, having those devices with original controllers and HDMI out is nice future proofing as far as I'm concerned :)

Snes classic, spent a few hours on it playing SF2. Then I got my Analogue Super NT and never looked back.

I couldn't hack my SNES Classic like some people were doing here so I gave up out of frustration and it's been sitting there ever since.

I wound up going with a Super NT over the SNES classic. Have the NES classic. Play both of them fairly regularly. My brother, friend, and our spouses are on a vacation this week and we brought them with and have been playing them every day.

I played through Final Fantasy VI and haven't messed with it too much outside of adding a ton of games to it.

Everyday, I've been trying to beat as many of the games on there as possible.

Maybe about an hour total on the SNES.

Wire controllers are meh

I'm still waiting to set it up. I will play most of the games on it to completion to be fair.

No, they actually think they are fun, my son (7, who is really good at Rocket League and Fornite - like too good) is really into Balloon Fight, and both enjoy donkey kong / mario / etc. The games are timeless in the simplicity.

But damned if my now adult sized hands don't struggle with that little controller

My wife exclusively likes NES and SNES games so we play it a few hours per week together. I actually need to buy the SNES Classic since my OG SNES isn't doing so hot at this point.

Did 1 or 2 Super Mario Kart Grand Prix. That's all.

Beat Super Mario World (including secret levels), played through around 2/3s of Punch-Out, played a bit of Castlevania and Contra.

I just received it a week or two ago.

I played Super Mario World in its entirety as soon as I got my SNES Classic, and then gave Star Fox 1 and F-Zero a brief go.

I actually did boot it up the other week to play A Link to the Past for the first time, and I'd like to play Super Metroid and Donkey Kong Country before summer ends.

Like 20 minutes. I didn't have the heart to play it when I thought the Switch VC was around the corner and I would rather play them there. Unfortunately I was wrong but I still haven't taken it back out.

I played through Super Mario World for that SNES Classic Game Club thing we were doing back on GAF. I was waiting for the Super Punch-Out!! portion to start when shit hit the fan over there, then I fell off of it. I know it got brought over here at some point, but by the time I saw one of the threads I had moved on to other things and didn't really want to go back to playing it. I've already got 90% of the games that were on there on SNES, so most of them would have just been replays for me anyways. Star Fox 2 was the main reason I bought it, and that was probably the only other game on there that I had played for more than an hour.

NES Classic got even less of my time, but that's because it got lost in the fall releases for me the year before, then I moved and never bothered setting it back up.

A fuck ton. It gets regular play, it's amazing

Both are modded and have been going to the tune of around 100 hours. A lot of that being my Chrono Trigger revisit and powering through must play hidden gem lists.

Haven't turned on my SNES Classic yet but did take it out of the box to display.

Bought an NES Classic, but then realized I really just wanted the controller (I own all the games I want on my 3DS already), so when the controller was in stock on Gamestop I bought that and returned my NES Classic.

I might buy a Raspberry Pi with an NES case since that'll have more functionality and will still look good next to my SNES Classic.

Really hope they do an N64 Classic, that was my first home console so I've got a lot of nostalgia for lots of those games (even if they can't get Rare stuff like Goldeneye or Banjo, since I do have the Rare Replay Collection on XB1).
I'll do everything I can to get one of those day one AND actually play it too.

This is what was always on my mind when it came to these systems.

Have 1 NES classic and 2 Snes classic.

Never opened any of them up and gave away the 2nd SNES classic as a gift.

The thought of people keeping these in box for some unknown 'collector value' in the future are cracking me up.

Put a ton of extra games on it and played Mario World and Super punch out for a few hours....

I saw my local Walmart had about 10 SNES classics in stock today.

Played all the way thru FFVI so about 40 hours? Got the 8bitdo retro receiver in the Amazon sale for £8 last week, so really looking forward to playing Secret of Mana, Sailor Moon Another Story, Live A Live etc. wirelessly (after finishing Octopath lol)

Like 2-3 hours for the NES Classic. Bought one at an insane markup for my sister for Christmas, we hooked it up, played it for a while, and I'm unsure if either of us played it much after the first few days.

I impulse bought a few of them and immediately sold them on to friends and ebay, kept one for myself but haven't had time to get around to it yet.

20 min SNES, couldn't even be bothered to hack it yet lol.
Mega Drive collection PS4 is enough for now and I have a second switch ready to tear apart digitally so maybe retro gaming will get some more attention when it's portable lolz.

Up to World 5 in yoshi's island, a playthrough of Star Fox 2, the factory in DKC1, a brief dabble in other titles like SF2, SC4, SMW, SMK, Kirby's confusing golf time....
So I guess I must be rocking at least 5 hours
FIVE!

I recently hacked it and then put an hour into Chrono Trigger and a half hour into DKC3. These days I feel overwhelmed with options for games, makes it hard to stick at replaying some titles despite my best intentions.

My Dad and I have played Tecmo Bowl for hours.

I haven't even opened my SNES Classic yet.
Already played Starfox 2 years ago. Otherwise I would have opened it immediately ha.

I beat Star Fox 2 a few times.

I played quite a bit of both that I got late last month. I've gotten near the end of Zelda (level 7?) and Zelda II (all 8s, third to last Palace) on the NES and I'm at the last dungeon on the SNES classic. I've played quite a bit of Super C too.

I gave the other one to my sister because I thought her boyfriend might've been big on Nintendo when he was younger, and when I texted her later she said "I'm keeping this" and "We played it all day... a little bit of everything" so that was good to hear. I still have to give her the extra controller I got for them too.

Like 3 hours maybe... with at least two of those being spent on scrolling beat-em-ups I modded into it.

About 15 minutes playing MegaMan X. I swear I'll come back around and beat the RPGs on it eventually...

SNES classic beat:

• Super Mario World
• Final Fantasy 6
• Link to the Past
• Donkey Kong Country
• Super Castlevania IV
• Super Metroid
• Kirby Super Star

NES Classic beat:

• Legend of Zelda
• Kirby's Adventure

So how much of this thread results is ResetERA not playing games and how much is it the platform?

Probably about 40 - 45 hours. I finished Earthbound, F-Zero on it and had a few playthroughs of Donkey Kong Country 2.

I finished Earthbound for the first time ever on the Classic.

Haven't tackled any other lengthy games yet, mainly replaying old favorites like Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden and TMNT. But I do plan to dive deep into a translated RPG like Rudras.

I use it till these days, I love the NES/SNES classic and can't wait for N64 classic.

I spent more time tinkering with it and adding games then I did actually playing my SNES Classic and while it is a good product the input lag and compatibility issues led me down the path of picking up a 1CHIP SFC and an OSSC.

My NES Classic hasn't even been switched on, instead I'm swapping out the controller boards for the new 8bitdo DIY Bluetooth kits to use with my AV Famicom.

10hs I guess. Then I went back to my Switch.
