Dock is styled after the SNES, and includes the following ports:

  • USB-C Out
  • USB-C In
  • 3 x USB 3.0
  • 1 x HDMI out
  • Gigabit Ethernet

It comes with a cover that clips over the slot to complete the mini-SNES illusion, and the cover has storage on the underside for storing 4 microSD cards.

Overall pretty cool dock, I already have a decent 3rd party dock, but this one is very tempting for aesthetic reasons.

Bro, that's a relabeled Super Famicon πŸ˜‚

[–] woelkchen 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, PAL SNES and SF look the same and that's better than fugly US SNES.

That’s subjective.

Yes. Nowhere did I claim that it's objectively better.

Grow up.

Sick burn.

I'm from the USA and owned a NA SNES. I think the original styling was best. I liked the more colorful buttons on the controller too.

Yeah a pal option would be nice.

Yeah a pal option would be nice.

Which would also be the Super Famicom option.

Japan uses NTSC instead of PAL

[–] woelkchen 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Look up how a Super Famicom looks before making such comments.

PAL and NTSC have nothing to do with the physical appearance of the unit lol

The Japanese and European devices share the same look, but Europe uses PAL output and Japan uses NTSC, so if you're in America, the better option is the Japanese version, since it will work with our TVs easier as we also use NTSC.

This post is about the looks of a Steam Deck dock. For this particular case if aesthetics, PAL SNES and Super Famicom are the same thing.

The PAL version was called the super Nintendo in the UK . Maybe in Europe as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree. This is the real SNES :)

But I hurt the feelings of Muricans for calling their SNES fugly...
