SNES graphics has aged really well! I introduced my kids to NES and SNES through emulators, and while they played Super Mario Bros on NES, they really liked Super Mario World, Super Tennis, and Clay Fighter on SNES.

I'd like to get them to play A Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger, but I don't think that they're patient enough. Still, beautiful games with great soundtracks.

Exactly! and even more so with the filters in modern emulators. Along with the funky cool music, many SNES games are easily on par in the looks department with most mobile games, so kids won't be turned off by the first impression or anything.

If you have kids sitting bored at home, consider repurpos an extra/older PC or Mac [0] as a pseudo-console + emulator for the SNES (and other platforms).
