Sony's reputation as a bare-minimum provider continues. I wonder how you fuck up something that basic. Were the team working on such a tight deadline? I mean, the PS1 and PS2 were Sony's golden years as a video game console company. Shouldn't Sony give an ounce of a crap when paying tribute to that era? Obviously not, it's gonna sell anyway. See first sentence - here's a company I don't know many fans of, even if they like (some of) their products. I mean, that's worse than bare minimum. Bare minimum was the announced lineup in the appropriate versions (so, NTSC in America, at the very least, and hopefully in Europe too). They managed to do worse by providing useless versions of half the titles. |

I hope there aren't any PAL versions on the SNES Classic Mini that I have.

Is that a PAL Mini?
I thought Nintendo learned their lesson after the backlash on Wii U VC Balloon Fight (when PAL-region fans complained and said they wouldn't buy it when Nintendo was practically giving the game away for free).
The only Wii U VC game I remember reading being the PAL version was Super Metroid, probably due to the "multi-language" option (even if it only affected the opening menus and cutscene).
PAL games on a NTSC Mini? No, I don't believe Nintendo is careless enough to do that.
Not unless there was some unusual game-specific circumstance (as how on Wii VC, the PAL version of Secret Commando was chosen surely so that Sega wouldn't need to license the Rambo name on the original NA release).

Wow, it's really lame what Sony did here. I was able to overlook the controller choice, game choice, even high-price point, but jeez, this is ridiculous. I'm canceling my pre-order this week and putting the money towards Smash.

Anyone still using their nes or snes mini? I play multiplayer with it often. It is very convenient to use. I'm hoping the delayed Sega Genesis mini is worth a purchase, Sega did the right thing and seek out a different developer for the thing. |

I played it on Thanksgiving, though I wish it had more multiplayer games.

Anyone still using their nes or snes mini? I still don't own either, although I'd like to get my hands on them. Maybe someday... |

Anyone still using their nes or snes mini? My friend and I tend to play the NES Classic most often, I last used it to beat Castlevania I & II this past month. I tend to take the SNES Classic to work with me on Friday's so that my students can play a little Street Fighter II. But lately, I've been using the Neo Geo Mini, almost all the games are multiplayer and the worst thing about it is just the slowdown with certain games. So overall it's tons of fun when you've got someone to play with. |

The PAL ROMs are probably the only ones they could find online after the ROM site crackdown.

You would think Sony would have or could find original discs of most of those games easily. I remember about PSN, at least one of the devs/publishers speaking about finding pristine CDs to create ISOs themselves. (Surely Sony can afford to buy scalpers' sealed copies if needed?  )
I suppose at the least Nintendo or Sega could be excused for using ROMs from the Internet due to needing to buy or make homebrew hardware to dump original carts. (does NoA still have that archive of every licensed game ever released, like they showed in Nintendo Power once?)
But I'm sure PS1 and PS2 discs at the least can be ripped using readily available software as I have done with my collection.
