Late in the SNES's life, Nintendo shrank it. The New-Style Super NES, model SNS-101, arrived in October 1997 in a bundle with Yoshi's Island, and Lance Barr designed it again, mixing the American and Japanese styles into a much smaller case. To cut cost, Nintendo dropped the eject button, the expansion port and the built-in RF modulator, and switched off S-video and RGB, leaving composite. Inside, though, everything was merged onto one chip, so a Mini modded for RGB looks as sharp as the best original. It stayed on sale in North America until 1999. Search carefully, since "SNES Mini" also pulls up the 2017 Classic Edition, a plug-in emulation box that takes no cartridges.
Before you plug it in
Should come with it
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing piece should come off the price.
The picture is the weak spot. Stock it only does composite, and some one-chip boards show a faint ghosting that bothers some players.

Buying guide
We'd buy the SNS-101 titled tested with an OEM controller, the power supply and an AV cable at $137 delivered, $43 under the $180 median of the $140 to $260 band. There are at least 68 listed; bare consoles start at $109 delivered and boxed ones ask about $300 to $400. Stock, the Jr puts out composite only and has no RF jack, so you need a Multi Out AV cable and a TV with a composite input or a converter, and an RGB-modded one should come with a photo of the work inside. Several kits here include a pad with colored face buttons, which isn't the US SNES controller, so look at the controllers in the photos before you pay for a bundle. Skip the $859 Target Zelda bundle at nearly five times the median.

The lowest delivered Jr here at $109 with two games, but the photo shows no controller, adapter or cable, and it isn't titled tested. Budget for an AC adapter, a Multi Out AV cable and a pad.
