Good for you as long as you're happy with your decision and purchase. I find it hard for me to justify buying old games/system with all the emulators going around.

Don't forget to purchase FF6 (FF3 in NA) and Chrono Trigger if that hasn't been mentioned yet.

 


you must be young or just a total internet age person. even fans of games today get pissed when physical releases are not offered for certain games, yet some of you act like its so shocking that the OP actually wants to own the real thing to play?

and sorry but emulations are often SLIGHTLY off and are a pain in the ass to configure to play on your television set (especially on older CRT's that run older games better and without any input lag)

too many soulless people around here. streaming games on the internet is just not the same as grabbing your cartridge and immediately having the game. if suddenly the internet has issues or yoru computer gets wiped your shit out of luck

also, again, there is no such thing as using an original SNES controller on an emulator/computer, only third party crap, and a lot of fans like to use the original thing because it feels most natural and isn't cheap

I'm not for or against emulation, and I understand that using the original hardware is both a practical and philosophical preference, but a few corrections:

1. You can get a SNES to USB adapter.  You ARE using the original SNES controller.  Problem solved.

2. You're overstating how much you need to configure a SNES emulator, and you're also overstating input lag on any HD TV with a Game Mode. There is zero lag on my LED TV (which I use as a computer monitor), and it a very low end TV.
