this one.

They certainly look nice, official too! Will have to look into if they do not release new ones. Thanks @mech! I do not like the feel knockoffs' buttons. Too cheap!

Save yourself the trouble, and buy an SNES Classic from Europe. You're getting the console and TWO controllers (with longer cords) for the price of one of those controllers.

Think the snes classic has different connectors on it, wont have longer leads and the over all price is probably double that of the controller i listed to impost the snes classic.

They are not available yet. Most import online are sold out for pre-order.

Nintendo's own release confirms it's compatible with Wii Classic Controller, so it should be using the same connector. On the Super Famicom pictured, it looks like the connector is turned 90 degrees relative to the NES Classic.

The Super NES Classic Edition is compatible with the Classic Controller™ and Classic Controller Pro™ accessories. Just plug it in and play!

Even with one per customer limit it comes and goes, so it goes to show that there's far too much demand for the Classic SNES and Nintendo's just too stubborn about it.. again.

Are American gamers more keen on getting the PAL SNES Classic than the USA SNES Classic? It's not surprising given that the PAL SNES Classic looks so much cuter, stylish and natural than the kiddy/LEGO-y NTSC one.

For some reason the purple SNES never looked right to me, it's as if there was something wrong with it.

It looks like a transformer in my opinion. It has a face.

Ironically, the designer of the NA Snes changed it to what it was to look less like a toy. The person behind was one Lance Barr, he changed it to make it look more high-tech in a way, I like the Super Famicom look better.

Another reason why the SNES was redesigned was because back with the NES, people would place food and drinks on top of it which would then lead to issues. THE NA SNES was less flat than the SFC. Can't say I liked the design though.

I forgot about that, but they could've at least kept the colors, I liked the SFC more.

Agreed. I don't see any valid reason as to why they changed the colors of the SNES.

With ALL FIVE classic games!

Even though I own the original system and over half of the included games, I'm a lot more interested in this than the NES Classic.
I've seen a list of the game differences between the American edition and the Japanese Super Famicom Classic, but I'm going to presume that the EU version will have the same games as the American edition (although it would've been nice to see the inclusion of some PAL exclusives; Terranigma or The Firemen would be cool).

Are the controller ports scaled-down versions of the original SNES, or will the controllers be compatable with original hardware? If it's the former, I think I'd have preferred that they did the same as the NES Classic and use the same Wiimote style port - these controllers would be great for Wii VC.

Wasn't it already mentioned that the SNES classic is also compatible to Classic and Classic Pro Controller - thus featuring the same port as Wii, making the gamepads also compatible with that?

Great if that's the case - I was concerned because all promotional pics of the units show what looks like a SNES controller port (although, I'm presuming it to be scaled down as proportionately it cannot be the size of the actual SNES ports going by the images released).

I don't really get the point of these things to be honest. It's $70 + scalper price for an official physical emulator.
You may as well save yourself the trouble and pick yourself up a cheap Wii, some component cables and emulate much more than just a little bit of the SNES library.
I mean if you loved retro games that much you want something official why not pick up an actual SNES? I can't imagine the novelty of having a tiny SNES you'll use for a bit is much better than the novelty of having a cheaper emulator box you'll spend more time on and have more games on.
