None. Couldn't give a crap about a single SNES game. Before my time so I have no nostalgia for it and 8 bit games look like trash now, so no interest whatsoever. As for Scorpio, I already own an Xbox One, why would I want another one?

Well shit, Ka-pi, tell us how you really feel about our beloved.  Or at least get the bit count right!

On one hand you have an unofficial console that will play retro games. On the other hand you have an official console that will be the most powerful console on the market, however, it is kept back due to the current lack of exclusive software (this might change come E3).

They both aim to achieve very different things. The SNES Mini isn't meant to go up against any other console. It is strictly a console for fans of retro and/or Nintendo games. Whereas the Scorpio is definitely aiming to be a competitive machine.

That being said... I choose the SNES Mini.

Sorry Xbox.



 

Games and debauchery.

I have a real SNES and N64... these mini consoles are useless for me.

I also have them, but are you aware about difference of real NES and NES Mini when they are played on LCD TV!?

That's blasphemy!

If money isn't an issue Scorpio, easily.

I can already play Snes games, I don't need to buy a toaster in a fancy case to emulate snes games, any device released in the past decade can do it.

You should spend your money on an original nes/snes not these classic models.

SNES is 16 bit tho.

Scorpio, the SNES has been 100% reverse engineered by emulators.

Besides, it will never have another game you can't play right now already.

Discouraging that one of the main reasons to skip SNES Classic is because "I can steal the games elsewhere."

If money wasn't an option I'd go with both, but if I could only have one I'd probably go with SNES Classic. Neither system will have exclusives but I imagine I'd get many more hours of enjoyment out of the SNES library, even if it's limited to 30 games. Just make sure the cords are long enough...
