I haven't opened my American SNES Classic yet... The Eurpean version is coming from Amazon right now... I'm not sure which to keep. The European version looks really cool, but I don't think it comes with the right power adapter. Is it just a Micro USB power cable? Any advice on which to keep? I don't think there's any downside to keeping the European version, but I wanted to check here first!

It is Micro USB (console) to USB (adapter). I just plug my USB right into my TV.

Each version has the same exact games. I'd keep the one you like better aesthetically!

I have the European one. Yes it’s just a micro USB. All the games are the US versions so there’s no slowdown too.

Maybe because I'm Australian and grew up with the European snes, but I think it looks a million times better than then the us snes. Such a better design and better colour scheme all round.

Correct. They are the 60hz NTSC ports of the games. That's fine on modern televisions as they can handle both NTSC and PAL.

For those wanting to mod the SNESMini, remember to use good dumps of NTSC roms.
