I’ve been using my Wii to emulate NES and SNES games for about a decade now, but as TVs are moving into higher resolutions the Wii and its 480p output is increasingly looking worse every time I upgrade. I’m looking at the SNES classic as an alternative, but currently I can’t decide between the US and European versions. I’m in Europe for the next couple months, so I have ample opportunity to get this one or wait until I get back and pick up a US one. It seems I can load NTSC ROMs on either, so it’s really an aesthetic choice. So let’s start a debate: which looks better, /vr/?

First, the Wii's video output was always shit, especially compared to the component output on Gamecube. Second,

This.

Only get a ShitNES mini if you want audio lag, bad scaling, and poor Super FX emulation.

The whole point of using a Wii to emulate is that it can output to a CRT. If you're just going to plug it into an HDTV you might as well use a PC.

Personally I find having to use a PC on a TV to be a pain in the aaa. I did the HTPC thing for years and it was virtually impossible to use it without having a wireless keyboard on hand every time something unexpected happened, which defeat3d the purpose imo. I used a 720p TV for years and the Wii looked fine on that, slightly soft but for retro games that isn’t really a bad thing. Going into 4K it’s pretty bad though.
