From what we have been hearing of the system interface which may be similar to the Wii U, no. I hear they have been selling out so much as well. But there are always plenty original SNES's going on ebay so it would be good to invest in one of those.

Definitely right Sami, even Satoshi Yamato from Nintendo said yesterday: "Looking at ways to develop Virtual Console. Classic Mini is one form of Virtual Console. We can also sell physical. Looking to make it as big as we can."

I tend to agree with you but the problem with the SNES mini is the same than the NES mini-- completely hackable to add games, emulators, and cheat features...

You can not cheat on a real SNES console using a real SMK cartridge, how do you want to use save states?

It's probably more easy when you need a serious proof to request to see the real SNES cartridge and the real Super Nintendo that the person is using for playing than trying to make investigations into different VC systems from the Wii, Wii U, New 3DS, to the SNES mini and without any possibility of checking physical cartridges.

Yup, same thing as making any hack and mod like Super Mario Kart Turbo or Super Parigo Kart, but if at first you hack a real SMK cartridge to increase even a little bit the top speed we'll notice this difference just by using a video proof from the person first and checking frame by frame plus other tools, also it takes 1 minute to open a SMK cartridge to see if the PCB is modded or not, if any doubt.

This is mollshit dude, if I send you a real SNES + a real cartridge and if both don't have any modification/switch/etc how do you want to cheat seriously, magically?

Even using third party accessory like a Pro Action Replay MK3 won't save you from being caught.

^I didn't claim that I could get wr's by cheating, but I could beat my own pr's.
This is the last I will say on this as is not something that should really be discussed here.

"This is mollshit"    Also that Deidara/Trump pic is on point Chrono  

I agree with Moll.  Allowing people to submit times via the SNES Classic will be a great opportunity to increase the population and awareness of the SMK community tremendously.  Isn't that what we want?  Or do we want to keep it tightly knit as it has been for the last 10+ years now?  I'm still fairly new to the community so I don't know if all you grizzled vets like the community as it is now or if y'all are keen on the idea of expansion.

I'm curious, please send me a PM if you're not against explaining privately.

Yeah. Wii VC is fine.

This is going to sound selfish, but I hope not, because that means more people will join the rankings, which means I'll have to work harder to move up the ranks. I've had several weeks where I either stayed at my current rank or moved down the ranks because a new player joined that week. I had to work my ass off to get my current rank.
