We've had the SNES Classic Edition in the office for a while now, and while we've covered its controller and games in video form already, one thing we've neglected to do is a proper unboxing. When a new piece of hardware comes out, you positively have to have an unboxing, right? We're pretty sure there's an ancient by-law dating back to the 14th century which stipulates as much.
To atone for this shocking oversight we politely commanded our video wizard Alex to come up with something scintillating, entertaining and informative otherwise we'd shut off the oxygen supply to the underground bunker in which he toils away, creating moving images for your fleeting pleasure.
"You what?" replied our esteemed YouTube guru and three-time recipient of Wiltshire's Winning Smile Award. "But I unboxed it ages ago. How is that going to work, exactly?"
He then went on to make a disgruntled comment about "not owning a bloody time machine" but after a few stern threats and the brief removal of breathable air, common sense won out in the end, so we can now proudly unveil our official, 100 percent factually correct and officially sanctioned unboxing of a SNES Classic Edition video feature presentation. Enjoy.

I would love to know: What can the SNES classic edition fit inside? Help us Professor Peter Pringle!
"There's no wall adapter though because...it's Nintendo."
Followed later by:
"They thought of everything."
Except they didn't. Wall adapter!? It's a gorgeous looking little machine.
Why did you do this to our Alex? I mean, his reactions with oxygen deprivation would probably be priceless, but don't damage him too much, whether it is emotionally or physically. We need his videos after a sh*tty day at work!
On a more serious note, the video was brilliant but I felt bad for the guy. He seems so reluctant to do this video.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE You know Alex wasn't being entirely serious in this video, right?
@Damo Yes, not entirely.
Only 3 weeks and 1 day to go
S.....N....E.....S you say each letter
Thumbs up for pronouncing snes the proper way
@SLIGEACH_EIRE wait, so I have to buy one of those USB to plug adaptor thingies to even use the snes mini? Oh well, I'm glad I found that out now rather than when it arrives!
Can't wait. Really would like to know if the box size is the same as the nes mini
@Incognito_D You can also plug the USB cable into a USB port on your TV, if it has one of those. It usually works but it is not guaranteed because some TVs don't put out enough power.
@countzero Yeah, my telly's a bit pants at that. Keeps resetting any tech that's plugged into the USB.
Lazy TV manufacturers can't even make a decent USB connector! tsk
@countzero Not just that but I imagine the SNES Classic Mini will need more power than the NES Classic Mini does.
Someone contact Professor Pringle! We MUST know if the SNES Classic can fit into a potato bin!
YES! "S-N-E-S" and not "SNES"... drives me nuts!
the switch also has USB ports and can give power to the SNES or NES mini
That was fun. Great spin, too.
@Incognito_D I used the NES Mini by plugging the USB in to my PC. They take very little to power them.
Haha. That was fun. I laughed.
Those buttons do look mysteriously skittle-like.
@NintendoPete Hey, that should be obvious but, to me, it's brilliant. I hadn't thought of that and it's just in the right place. Can swap the HDMI over, too. Huh.
@SirRandall I think that's how YOU say it. I always said Super N.E.S. myself, but many grew up with it, calling it snez, apparently. Three fewer syllables, so I think they win. The more you know!
"When a new piece of hardware comes out, you positively have to have an unboxing, right? We're pretty sure there's an ancient by-law dating back to the 14th century which stipulates as much."
The first-ever unboxing video I saw was... mildly interesting. The second one was boring and pointless. Now I just don't watch them. UNTIL THIS ONE. Nice job as always, Alex!
P.S......... can you actually hook up a Dreamcast to it??? Because man, that sounds awesome.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE What is exactly the problem with this, the usb cable is ideal to plug into the TV. And most people already have said adapter from their phones/tablets. Edit: I don't think it uses more power than the NES.
