Reddit mentions of Kintaro Super Kuma 9000 - SNES Inspired Raspberry Pi Case with Functional Power & Reset Buttons, LED and Custom Aluminum Heatsink (Raspberry Pi Model 3B)

Several years ago I got a Raspberry Pi model A and it lagged in most SNES games. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Well, I just finished this SNES RetroPie build and I am happy. Here is the parts list I used:

• Raspberry Pi 3 model B+ CanaKit
  
• Kintaro's Super Kuma 9000
  
• I made a very detailed review here.
  
• Hori Mini PS4 Gamepad
  
• Patriot 64GB MicroSD Card
  
• Gdstime 25mm 5v fan
  
  Other than the fan (loud as heck) it is all excellent. So happy with this build. I did end up removing the POE pins to make the Super Kuma 9000 heatsink fit, so temps are phenomenal. Even with a light OC, the fan never turns on. Performance is better than expected.

Any time an SNES case comes up, I have to pimp the Super Kintaro. It's REALLY well made. Great heat sink, buttons work... just an awesome case, and suprisingly well prices for the high quality.

There are a few that come to mind when it comes to soft shutdown cases. Most, if not all, cases in this list require the installation of a script, which can be done through the Raspbian terminal (accessed by quitting EmulationStation, either by pressing F4 or by pressing START while in ES and selecting the bottom menu item, then Quit EmulationStation). You could also access the terminal through SSH using PuTTY.

• RetroFlag NESPi Case+ (there is a script you can install, and on the case PCB there is a switch that needs to be in the On position for the script to work)
  
• Kintaro Super Kuma 9000 (This one has a script you can install as well). Probably one of the more popular console cases
  
• Piboxy Case from iUniker (Has a script you can install. You can either shut it down with the power button, but it also comes with an IR remote in which you could also use to shut it down with)
  
• Rasptendo Retro Gaming Case
  
• RetroFlag SuperPi Case (similar deal with the NESPi case in that the PCB has a switch you have to turn on so that safe shutdown works). There are two variants of this case, the one I linked was the US SNES variant. They also have a Japanese/European SFC/SNES variant as well..

This one is pretty cool, also the flirv case on Amazon is good for keeping the pi cooled without additional fans.

I know I'm a couple of days late to the convo, but it's worth mentioning that a Raspberry Pi 3B+ ($35) and a Super Nintendo case ($10-20), runs you about 60-70 bucks when you include SNES controllers.

But that'll let you play NES, SNES, PS1, Sega, N64, and titles from just about any other retro console as well (including Wolf 3D and Marathon from PC). It's also super simple to set up. Use a simple 1 click PC app to put OS onto SD card, copy some ROMs onto SD card, put the card into your RPi, put the RPi into the SNES case, and plug in a controller.

(optional: use bluetooth controllers, set up wifi, plug in ethernet cord, keep the roms on your PC and have your RPi stream the roms over the network, use keyboard and mouse, use the desktop interface with Chrome and all that jazz)

Kintaro just updated their SNES-inspired case design to have functional power and reset controls.

That's a pretty neat project. It uses the gpio to detect a button press. I have a neat pi case that does the same thing to add power and reset buttons for a pi.

This case has functioning buttons:

check out some of the SNES cases on amazon?

You can recreate your old snes system (only 1/5 the size). If you built your own computer this is easier. Follow the guides on the retropi website and you should be good.
