The SNES Mini – or "Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System" to use its full, unwieldy title – doesn't cram in quite as many games as its predecessor, but makes up for it with some shining examples of gaming history and the sheer amount of play time owners are likely to get out of it.
