Hey all! So this took a long time to make, but it's finally here - our "review" (if you can call it that) of the SNES Classic Mini, filmed as an actual storybook reading.

Timeliness is not our strong suit, and we've been moving house this past month so everything's been really chaotic. But, finally, the video is done.

We're not sure if we did the best job of filming this, the camera angle is a bit dull, but we're learning and trying new things, so hopefully it came out okay.

For all Patreon backers, we are going to make the PDF of the book available on here some time soon. Right now our internet access is limited so it might take a little while, but you can all have the book once things get settled.

Also, as some of you have been asking about buying the book, we have made it available on Etsy for purchase. Because we love you all, we're going to send a $2 off (approximately) discount code out to all backers in just a second.

Anyway, here's hoping you like the video! Our last "review" of Sonic Mania proved popular, here's hoping people like this one too!

How it Feels to Play the SNES Classic Mini as a Family

Once upon a time, a little family entered a magical portal to the world of the SNES Classic Mini. Etsy link: Just so you're aware, this isn't some big moneymaking scheme. we got some of these books printed for a convention we attended and we have a few spares. factoring in shipping costs, we're going to just about break even, and we've only got maybe ten of these left, but someone on Patreon said they'd like one, so we figured we'd throw it open to anyone who might like a book. No pressure, it's there if you want one until we run out. For Patreon supporters, we'll be putting the PDF of the book up for you guys soon (having some Internet troubles at present). We got incredibly lucky with our SNES Classic Mini pre-order. Kotor was working went pre-orders went live, and had the Web page open, so he grabbed one before they disappeared. We weren't sure what our little daughter would think of the game's on the SNES. She's used to playing the Wii U, and can turn it on and set it up all by herself. her favourite games are Mario Kart 8, because she can play as a pink cat, and Mii Maker, because she likes creating faces and taking photos. We worried she might not be interested in such an old fashioned game console, but we were totally wrong - she loves this thing. She'll happily spend hours playing Super Mario Kart, so long as she can play as a pink princess, and as long as someone helps her when she inevitably crashes into the barrier. It's been a busy few months for us, so it's taken a while to actually finish this video. Hopefully you guys like it! We tried something a bit different, as we had the books anyway and we wanted to make something that felt like a real story time. we probably didn't quite master the composition; the filming camera angles could use work, but we tried our best and we're learning. Hope you like it!
