Nintendo Enthusiast:
"What made the Nintendo SNES so awesome? How did it improve on the formula set out by the success of the NES? And what lessons can the Wii U learn from it when trying to follow the Wii’s success of close to 100 million consoles sold worldwide? (In comparison, the Gamecube only reached 21 million total lifetime sales.) Let’s talk a nostalgic look back at some of the great things about the Nintendo SNES."
These classics need to make a return.
Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.
I've pre ordered one here in the UK, no games though, as I'll move it on for a higher price. The white model looks awesome, but as expected, the price is too high. We'll probably see more of those all in one cartridges from China containing every AES game. In the UK, AES+ game at £70 ($95) is better than eye watering prices for the originals, but these games are so old and I can honestly say SNK didn't release many classics. The Metal Slug series is the only series I rate, there were just too many Street Fighter clones and not enough scrolling fighting games. Overall, the Neo Geo was poor for all genres apart from one on one fighters. Videos on YouTube asking for games from that console generation to be ported to the AES+, but who'd want to pay £70 for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2? There's a lot of SNK collections out there, the best being Metal Slug Anthology on the PlayStation 2. The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the Switch contains 12 games for around £30, instead of £840 if released on the AES+. For collectors, the AES+ is the best news since sliced bread. Are there enough SNK fans out there? Nowhere near. Those £70 cartridges will soon start creeping up in price and it'll be a re-run of the original console.
I always wanted one in the 90's but couldn't afford it. Now i can but i think if i get one it will be collecting dust fast. It's a nostalgia thing i guess.
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
I was a Genesis gamer, but with the Virtual Console, I realized just how much amazing stuff I missed on the SNES.
One of the greatest videogame consoles of all time. The SNES played a major role in pushing the industry forward. Giving the gaming world new innovations and standards that are still used to this very day. Gamers everywhere should show great respectand thanks to what Nintendo has provided even generations in the past. Providing legendary gaming experiences that we as gamers will never forget.
Rated E For Everyone
snes is one of my favorite systems(along with ds and ps2) because it had a whole bunch of rpgs.
Legend of a games console, still play it today and it still looks great.
I just wish that nintendo would of release the 32 bit cd drive for it but it ended up as the great playstation 1.
The USA snes console looks well better than the UK one. The USA market always have the best stuff, us in the UK always have second best, never mind.....lol.
Its funny because the ds has basically more of everything
except perphaps fighting games ( jump ultimate is better than anything the ds had though)
its a shame the ds because its not a console wont be remembered because of its aweosme library
