I don't get it either. I mean the second SNES is a major downgrade compared to the original...after all, the first one has S-video, the second one does not. I for one am very grateful they had the foresight to include S-video compatibility back in 1991...after all back then how many US televisions could take S-video in those days? And trust me, you want S-video instead of composite (red/white/yellow) for SNES, you really do.
