Super Nintendo Classic Edition and Controller Teardown!

It seemed like an impossible task, but we finally got our hands on a Super Nintendo Classic Edition. Obviously, our first instinct was to fire it up and play some games, but it didn’t take long for us to realize just how bad we sucked at Super Mario World.  So, we grabbed our iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit and took our frustrations out in the only way we know how. By tearing it down.

Grab the same tools we use here at iFixit!

Sounds like music from the game Super Hexagon. Which is an awesome game.

[ChaosXification]

how come there is never a link to site the music?

[hyperfyre]

That looks like the exact same hardware they had in the NES classic.

Brilliant soundtrack... where can I buy it?

[BruceNitroxpro]

And... WHAT is the magic about the damned sound track? Most of these videos don't even HAVE people talking!

[IAmNotAFunguy]

Why no teardown of last year's NES Classic Mini?

[MarioFaker]

Now do the original console and compare/contrast!

[IbrahimJafar]

When companies used to make things to last.

No wonder why it can handle N64 games on this. 256mb of RAM deym!

The innards of this nintendo cost 10 bucks at the most to date ))

[BruceNitroxpro]

Why is it that a couple of nasty labels is all we get? No contextual comments on either the hardware, (board, structural annecdotes or comments) or anything else?

American version looks ugly compared to the European/Japanese version imo.

[johntrussell]

Nintendo really does make shit products

[HuntersMoon]

The American version is bloody ugly, just like it's bigger brother
