Aside from criticism regarding the controller cord being too short as well as minor emulation glitches, especially with sound, the NES Classic Edition has been well received. [28] [29]

Upscalers like the Super 64 do a good job of pulling the graphics up to 480p, but they cost twice as much as the average second-hand N64 and around the same amount as a SNES Mini. Nintendo needs to find a way of building an upscaling device into the N64 Mini itself or has to remake the 25-30 classic games that it includes on the console from scratch. Beyond that, it's mostly good news. In terms of the authenticity of the emulation, Nintendo has done a good job here. The visuals are extremely accurate to real hardware in most cases and superior to the Super NES emulation used for Virtual Console releases. Many of the included games contain special chips which places further demand on the emulation software. Kirby Super Star and Mario RPG use the Super Accelerator 1 or SA-1 chip, Mario Kart uses the DSP-1 and several included games make use of the Super FX chip. This is an important breakthrough since Nintendo has avoided emulating the Super FX chip on its Virtual Console service. With the Super NES mini, however, Nintendo has included three games utilising this technology. The original Star Fox makes use of the original Super FX chip while Yoshi's Island and Star Fox 2 employ the Super FX GSU-2. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa replied: “We always want our products to be played by people of all ages, from children to adults. In fact, after being in the video game business for many years, we believe that there is now a very wide range of generations who have adopted Nintendo consoles. Biggs, Tim (November 16, 2016).

Damo Thanks! Sorry, I'd written most of the above to @NEStalgia before I'd read your reply, so please don't think I'm labouring the point. It's an interesting topic to discuss with a fellow commenter: When did Japanese technology get sufficiently advanced that the Japanese could actually write Japanese with it? There's a similar progression with mobile phones, which is probably only of interest to a very specific type of nerd. Like me. However, if you don’t want to buy a second NES controller, then you can actually plug in any old Wii Classic controllers you have lying around and they should work just fine.
