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...

Typical climate change denier. Stealing digital goods is way more eco friendly than having another plastic box nobody needs.

Snes mini OBVIOUSLY. Its the best console in history and there just too many games, where do I begin?

PS2 mini would be my 2nd choice.

None. Even if money wasn't an issue I'd be more happy keeping my money then buying either of those.

No one would pick Scorpio, let's be real.

Snes mini, why would anyone chose Xbox one Scorpio, it's just a more powerful Xbox one with all the same issues.no compelling exclusives if you aren't a FGH fan.

I still have a functioning SNES, but a backup with a good line up of games would be great.

If you can get your original NES modded with HDMI. That argument is moot. GC and N64 have HDMI mods too. Also, I have played my older consoles on my LCD TV. Whocares. CRT's just hide the imperfections. I play me stuff regualrly. The Input lag isn't a big deal. 

If money's not an issue, then the Scorpio, since I have an SNES, but no XB1.

Honestly I'm not inclined to buy either, but since I'm a cheapskate, SNES Mini for me

Its not point only about HDMI, but how games are emulated, just compare Wii U VC NES games with NES Mini games on LCD screen, huge difference.
