Super Nintendo collectors, what do you recommend? (EXCLUDING GAMES)

[OldSchoolGamer]

I have a USA Super Nintendo with region mods switches (for lockout and speed) and a Game Genie for silly fun. Just wondering, besides games any other recommendations from SNES fans regarding controllers, add-ons, peripherals etc? Suggestions and comments, even things you strongly feel I should avoid lol! Thanks in advance!

The Super Game Boy is a good thing to have.

In terms of stuff that'll work with a US Super Nintendo, I'd recommend these:
-Super Game Boy
-Super Scope Six (make sure it has the receiver box that plugs into the SNES)
-Ascii pad - great third party controller w/turbo buttons
-S-video cable - not really a collectible, but it'll make your games look great!
-Super Multi-Tap - essential for 3+ player games like Secret of Mana or the Super Bomberman games

I have quite a bit of Japanese stuff I'd recommend tracking down too:
-Super Famicom controller - more colorful variant of the SNES controller, but with a MUCH shorter cable
-Satellaview - connects to the bottom of the Super Famicom and, with the supplied BS-X cartridge, allowed users to download exclusive games via satellite
-Hudson Same Game Cartridge - Similar to the BS-X cartridge, but Hudson branded
-Super Famicom Carrying Case - large plastic box designed to hold the system and a few games/controllers. Some have Mario/other game logos on them too.
-Super Famicom Box - former hotel unit that has 5-10 games on large proprietary cartridges
-Super Game Boy 2 - nearly-identical to the Super Game Boy but it is a cool translucent blue color and has a link port on the side allowing you to connect it to other Game Boys
-Super Game Boy Commander controller - designed to look like an original Game Boy with shortcut buttons to change the color/window frame/etc.
-Pachinko Controller - for more realistic gameplay in the crappy Super Famicom Pachinko games :roll:
-Super Bomberman multi-tap - a multi-tap in the shape of Bomberman's head!

Super 8 Converter!

Get yourself an RGB capable CRT at 19" to 25".

For a "collectors" angle, the larger super famicom tv combo unit does internal RGB. The smaller one is composite I believe.

Tons of cool stuff for SFC/SNES.

I always liked these too, ProgramPads. Would like to find a CIB one.

Retrozone's Super Powerpak. Save wear and tear on the cartridge connector for all your games! Not to mention the ability to play a great number of fan translated games, hacks, homebrew and more. This is an absolute essential item for any serious Super NES fan.

As someone who has a SNES mouse and no pad...I recommend you get a pad for it lol.

As someone who has a SNES mouse and no pad...I recommend you get a pad for it lol.

If you aren't too picky (As in, you don't care if it's the hard plastic, Nintendo-branded one), you can pick up a mouse pad at just about any store that sells computer stuff

Are the pads in demand? I think we still have one smacking around the basement somewhere...

If you get an Ascii pad, swap the cord with one from a first party controllers. Everything about the Ascii pad is great except for the short cable, and it's such a quick mod to perform.
