SNES VS SUPER FAMICOM - Happy Console Gamer

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

I always envied the famicom for having a better overall look, they have an actual logo lol, the fact the controller looks a bit nicer too and coincides with the logo too. Wish we would have gotten quite a few of the japanese exclusives too, thankfully translated roms online have fixed that and reproduction carts too lol

[@mortalporcupine2784]

In the UK we got the Super Famicom design but it was branded as a Super Nintendo

[@inlovewithgoats1092]

+Mortal Porcupine Same for Germany.

[@mortalporcupine2784]

+_Ofenkartoffel_ Yeh I think all of Europe got this design. It's the best design. The US version looks like crap

[@inlovewithgoats1092]

Yes, it does.

[@Mongoldreng]

+Mortal Porcupine All of Europe had the Famicom design

[@virtue696]

+Mongoldreng All of Australasia as well..

[@graveyardvideogames]

I love the eject button on the super nes, I would eject the game so hard it would get air and then i would catch it while it shot out the system 3 feet high!

[@RFNO]

Same

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I do think the Super Famicom looks way better as well. Great video

[@yuvrajchhugani8593]

look whome i found

[@gabrielmourad1113]

@MetalJesusRocks Look who it is🤣

[@thaddeusmcgrath]

Dude watching you guys brings back my enjoyment with all the NES I had as a kid since the 80's

[@TRGmovies]

Hey Johnny, I don't know if youll read this but after listening to AGG since it started, Im so glad that you have came out your shell with the show because now you can express your real feelings about a game and can swear now :) I like the way the show has gone, Keep it up!

[@SargentFraser]

"Oh what a religious experience" Damn straight!

[@retroplayuk]

"Don't you wanna eat those buttons!" I thought I was the only person in the world who thought like this about colours

[@kwicksandz]

In Australia we had the good looking colourful snes. I had a mate whos dad imported the purple one from singapore. always preferred the coloured one!

[@Ratlegion]

Really appreciated hearing your thoughts and opinions looking back.

[@Joey_JcM]

One thing i can say, is that i def prefer the pushed in or "concave" i believe, buttons of Y and X on Super Nintendo..! ;)

[@tom-alexanderwhyte1548]

In the UK we got the Super Famicom design, but it was call the Super Nintendo. I remember seeing an American Super Nintendo and not knowing what it was at first as it looked so different to what I had at home.

[@Pehmokettu]

Super Nintendo looked like Super Famicom in all PAL region, not just in UK. Only the North American SNES looks like that terrible cube crap.

[@cakestalker]

Pehmokettu Yeah, that is why the whole Super Nintendo vs Super Famicom title confused the hell out of me at first.. like what the hell... Super Nintendo is supposed to look exactly like the Super Famicom :P I do realize the guys are in North America though and I now know they got that weird boxy purple buttoned SNES.

[@aokigahara5151]

Tom-Alexander Whyte lucky. in brazil we got the crappy box snes

[@Pehmokettu]

Savio Dias But the NTSC version SNES have many legendary games that are not available for the PAL version SNES (like Earthbound and Super Mario RPG) so even though the console is ugly the games are what are more important. (There is also some games that are only available in PAL region but those are not usually very good games). PAL games also had 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz and that usually made games run slower even though the graphics in some games looked much better in the PAL region.

[@stellakudryashov7480]

Tom-Alexander Whyte It's much more beautiful than the US and Brazil versions, but the weak point is the european one can't play japanese cartridges even having the same size of the japanese sfc

[@ThePixelReport]

Great episode! I love the super famicom design over the wester design. I remember the christmas snes launched in 1991, the mall had an eb games mini store with a kiosk of super mario world which was playable for about 20 minutes. the line of people was WRAPPED around half the mall all day everyday!! I've never seen new console kiosk excitement like that since.

[@ZsStudio]

Yep, Europe had the Japanese design. one of my friends bought the US one and i was "meh"...

[@Aramakie98]

All I thought about when I saw the buttons was the candy Smarties; I am so glad I am not the only one, lol. The non-US console design def. had the right idea. Also, my first exp. in playing started with an aunt who rented the console and three games... for several months! The store finally just called and asked her to bring it in with a greatly reduced fee. I didn't get to play the SNES again for over a year. Great memories, guys!

[@Settledown77]

The planet had the Super Famicom design, only North America got the boxy design. I'd like to have the American version sat next to my Super Nintendo.

[@jogueantesdemorrer246]

Unfortunately here in Brazil, we got the north american design. But just 1 year ago i finally buy an original Super Famicom in the box. It was one of the most dreamed consoles by me and it was worth every penny!

Long live the Super Famicom and the Super Nintendo

[@coastercrafter1productions300]

Best Console of all time i know Amercia has the Purple Design that we have the inside of it its what makes it the best

[@BossBossly]

Great video guys, I've still got very fond memories of getting a SNES for Christmas back in the early 90s. I got the Control Set with Final Fight, Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter II and a Asciiware SNES Advantage, good times. I agree that the Japanese SFC looked a lot nicer than the SNES. Not sure why they decided to go with a different case and purple buttons but at least it still played the same.

[@maitiuconnel5808]

I got a SNES at ten years old for xmas. Came with Street Fighter 2 Turbo. What an awesome system it was. I feel so old now in my 30's

[@SouthLouisiana4eva]

holy shit...same age when i got it but with regular street fighter..ive never heard of anyone getting that combo..in my 30s so around same time i reckon..

[@Lacktardo]

Haha, nice video. Good thing we got the same design as the Super Famicom back in Europe. The colored buttons matching the colored logo was genius.

[@ForeverLacey09]

I saved up all summer and bought the Super Famicom with Super Mario and F-Zero on launch day when I was 14. When the US Snes came out I had to uncase the cartridges to play them on it. Thankfully the Game Shark came out not long after which worked nicely as a cartridge adapter lol.

[@DhinCardoso]

Same here in Brazil =) ~ bought the Famicom and the oficial release was the square one. Girl! My friends would not let me open their shells to play - so I had to commit a crime, I screwed the side of the cartridge inlet =( Can u believe?

[@SP9_Qc]

a lot of memories about my childhood went through my mind as you were talking about the snes. thanks.

[@thepepsiman18]

In PAL territories. It was the Famicom design that was used

[@Guitarsthatkill]

Japan ran NTSC. Basically everyone outside the US/Canada had the original design.

[@engdragon83]

Great vid dude, I remember when I first got my snes with SF World Warrior. One of the few old school consoles I still play today since its so freaking awesome!

[@TheSeanCreagh]

I prefer the Super Famicon/PAL SNES design.

[@MarkusH90]

Great episode! Keep doing episodes like this one! I love this show!

[@RetroTube1982]

I grew up in America, and didn't even know what the Super Famicom looked like until probably the early 2000s when I saw it on the internet. But I'm glad we got the version we got. I think the American one looks way better, and the controller looked cooler too, I like the purple over the rainbow.

[@cpnnpr]

My first exposure to super famicom was via a news piece from CNN tech reporting from CES with Miles Obrien. I knew that it would be repeated in the day so I sat there with my VCR recording to make sure I could catch it. I did and re-Ted clips of super Mario works and f-zero over and over again. I'm with you rob-man. The early days of super famicom are like religious lore and I will never forget living that moment.

[@sinbysin666]

We got the proper design, and colours in Europe. Strange how they change things for the US. The Genesis is called the Mega Drive here, just like in Japan.

[@maxamundsen]

Personally I think the super famicom looks more like an office appliance than it does a game console, but as for the Mega Drive, the only reason it was called the Genesis is because of a copyright from another company. Sega would have been sued if they kept the name.

[@cmomofilm]

We had the "Famicom" style in Scotland, happy memories. I'm 28 and have a tune from super mario world as my ringtone. makes me happy with every phone call.

[@andrewalexander4331]

Growing up in England, I had no idea that the US Super Nintendo looked so strange. The European version looked like the Japanese version. So odd to discover years later what The US got.

[@thetylife]

I got my SNES close to launch , and I was not aware of Super Famicom till years later. I didn't get game mags regularly, and my friends and I didn't really care what they had in Japan I guess. Yes the Super-Fami looks a heck of a lot better, I would of been pissed too if I was made aware of it before hand. As for the redesign on the SNES...Japan just stuck with their belief that ppl in N. America liked things big, bulky, and boxy. Great video guys!

[@markhubenthal6762]

I prefer the SNES color scheme with a simpler two-tone approach. I do like the Super Famicom logo a lot, but the controller is a bit tacky looking with all the bright colors.

[@SoulBre4ker]

Same, I like the overall look of the Super Famicom, but I prefer the colors of the SNES.

[@pingKING94]

theres alot of video game chanels out there, but you guys are easily the best, goodshit guys keep em commin.

[@wcwnitro2001]

its funny how to other the system on the left is super famicom but here in australia that exact looking system is our super nintendo

[@Xanduur]

I just imported a SFC (new?) and I am now happy. The scars of owning the free and purple box have finally healed. :)

[@felixcatora4105]

I've seen a Super Famicom before.. and my first impressions were, "That looks like a miniature printer", BUT, then I saw the Super Nintendo, and those purple buttons and the grey exterior gave it MUCH more appeal (It looked like it could do a bit more) It actually looked fun.

[@newstart2009]

You know I had an SNES.. and NEVER knew any history FAMICOM until well after.. It's sooo damn cool to see an actual Super Famicom.. Thank You!!!!

[@keyransolo]

I had the EU version which had the same design as the Super Famicom :)

[@sonomama82]

very good overview. I am living in Japan now and just got re-hooked on super famicom. I made my boss's son playing me in street fighter. super fun.

[@draculaman]

I am from the UK, but I always preferred the look of the NTSC SNES/Cart design. Maybe it's a grass is always greener thing, haha. I have a modded SNES now with 50/60Hz and region switching, so I have the best of both these days. Amazing being able to play games like Earthbound from the actual cart

[@retrogamer816]

the way you describe the super famicom controller looking like fun is how i felt about first seeing the xbox 360 controllers ...love the colorful designs on both of those controllers

[@razorclawtiger]

16 bit era was my favorite system of all times. Still got them and play them. all snes, super famicom, and genesis are all top systems. The new systems today ps3, ps4, xbox 1 amazing graphics but a little to real and could encourage anger or even killing, hard to distinguish reality from fantasy for many. I,m a peacemaker and love alll, don,t support war or fighting, international peace and unity to all MANKIND.

[@balbovandall6343]

[@dcta51]

The game that gets me most angry is Smash Bros tho 😂

[@512..tr...]

this video brings back such great memories

[@igotkings]

I will always defend the NA SNES Design I love it! I love the purple Gray color scheme and the concave convex buttons. I prefer its look. I never remember people saying it was ugly back in 1991. I think that was a later thing when the internet came along and people saw the Super Famicom. It became cool to hate the design of the NA SNES. Not me I adore that purple gray design. I still love your look SNES

[@csray18]

I cant describe what im feeling right now... So epic feelings... I ask myself, if our parents got so epic memories from their childhood. It was so epic times back then, and today im still lovin it, and the snes is still my personal favourite console. I had so much fund and epicness with it. Nice to see that others loved it like me :) we got the same feel

[@TrueBanditKing]

Super Famicom = Eve, SNES = Wall-E

[@LanIost]

Oh my god.. I'm so happy there is a new video!

[@goldleader3028]

I agree that the Super Famicom is the better looking console. It's sleeker and more elegant. But the design of the NA Super Nintendo is not horrible. I think just one small change to it would improve it quite a bit in the looks department...Change the color of the power and reset switches. I don't know why they went with purple, but it gives the SNES a very toy-like look. Change the switch color to red, black, or even dark grey, and it would look more serious. there is another video of an SNES that a guy painted gloss black and red that looks sexy as heck. Granted, Nintendo probably didn't want to color the SNES in black since its main competitor the Genesis was black, but hey what can you do?

[@cakestalker]

The design change for the U.S was completely unnecessary and really mind-boggling. Why? Really just why? They kept the design of the Super Famicom here in Europe for the PAL SNES and I always thought it looked really nice.. and only years later did I actually see the U.S design for the first time. I was not even aware that there was a Super Nintendo that was not round without the multi-colored candy buttons, but instead blocky with purple buttons :O

[@christopherb27]

Purple always was a go to color Japanese companies use to make their products look sleek at the shows. Back during the Sega-Snes console war when Sony was first revealing the PSX it was entirely purple including the controller. Which we all thought made it look a look completed and closer to a true release date than what Nintendo, and other companies had been promising us and constantly changing release dates. I remember the frustration of "Project Reality" then "Ultra 64" and finally Nintendo releasing the thing.

[@captain3186]

I love both but, Gotta be Honest. Ever get home from Grocery shopping and pull out a smashed loaf a bread? That's the Super Famicom lol

[@ShinuRealArts]

The European Snes is exactly like the Super Famicom :) except the name.

[@stellakudryashov7480]

Shinu Nabil and the fact you can't use japanese cartridges on the european snes even haivng the same slot size

[@ShinuRealArts]

Стелла Кудряшов Was talking about the look, which was the subject on the video.

[@VMUboy]

its actually not the same speed. it's a little faster in PAL for some games (super mario world) but still in 25FPS and most of the time they are slower. Sonic runs like turtle and it's unplayable by Japanese/American standards.

[@mattharris4805]

Yeah PAL may of had a slower refresh rate, but the resolution of PAL screens was far superior to NTSC. When we see old American tv recordings over here it looks like someone put vaseline on the camera lens...

[@rerolledDK]

@Matt Harris In the console games the 8 & 16 bit era, PAL's extra lines of resolution just ended up as black bars above and below a squished picture that was meant for NTSC.

[@yocbjone]

i just logged out of battlefield so pissed off having some really bad rounds where nothing worked out, desided to get in better mood and opend up youtube, i see you guys and you where jealous of our design, and that made me happy :) i'm from norway and we got the famicom design, i gotta admit i liked our design better at the time, but your's is cool and mashine lookin, and you got better cpu in urs, so better fps, ours where slowed down when compared. i have since bought a us version,it's sweet!

[@ForeRunnerODST]

I'm surprised how strongly you both prefer the Super Famicom's design. I think it looks pretty bland compared to the SNES though I think the colors on the controller looks great.

[@IoIocaust]

ForeRunnerODST Growing up in Europe, with the Famicom model (bearing Super Nintendo as name) , I always thought it looked super cool, colorful buttons and a the cool logo with red, yellow, green and blue which the Famicom didnt have... My friends dad worked alot it the US and he brought home a US super Nintendo , and me and my frined thought it was some kind of cheap knockoff from China or something. some 3rd party ugly thing that played SNES games. didnt help we had to use a converter cartridge to play our games. Now it looks OK, but the famicom/PAL SNES looks way better

[@IoIocaust]

GodofWar100647 lol . . yeah it just looked liked it belonged in the 8 bit era. . we were moving to more rounded shapes in the early 90s

[@nintendoneil]

how were you able to play the super famicom in the north america at release? didn't it need a special adapter to play on north american tvs? the rental place had special adapters?

[@ReikazeRambles]

i love the look of the super famicom, the snes looks lame.

[@jenslyn87]

Great video as always! Loved the final track from Chrono Trigger! :D

[@uUuWolf16uUu]

Thats not a super famicom... thats a european SNES....

[@Mlohgrob]

Fabian Saam Try pausing the video at 3:40.. Now tell me again, what is it?

[@uUuWolf16uUu]

Captain Sherlock Okay thats weird... it looks to the tie like my super nintendo...

[@darrendraper3176]

Yeah dude, I'm English and it's definitely a pal snes. Not arguing with the fact that in this video it appears to be a ntsc super famicom, just stating the fact that it is a pal snes here in England.

[@Soldano999]

Darren Draper Its has super famicom written on it you dumbass. The european Super Nintendo kept the original design. Only the US had this craze of localizing everything.

[@Mlohgrob]

Darren Draper Actually you said "I'm English and it's definitely a pal snes.", which is probably why you got that response. It looks like that *everywhere* in the world except for the US, so there's no point in pointing out that it lookes like that in "insert country".. Bottom line is, what's in the video is a SuFami, nothing else.

[@83442handle]

I'm glad you brought this up. It's such a small footnote in history but the SNES design always bugged the hell out of me as the previews in magazines in 1989 were showing the beautiful Super Famicom. Even the multicolor logo was this awesome touch as it artistically made sense because the SNES was such a colorful system at the time. SNES reminded me of the Master System on steroids. Lance Barr who designed the case clarified that "The Super Famicom was maybe okay for the market in Japan. For the US, I felt that it was too soft and had no edge. We were always looking at future modular components (even the NES had a connector on the bottom), so you had to design with the idea of stacking on top of other components. I though the Super Famicom didn't look good when stacked and even by itself, had a kind of "bag of bread" look." Ended up still being a very poor aesthetic choice. It also doesn't explain the bland muted colors. No offense to Lance but I trust Japanese designers over American ones 9 times out of 10 when it comes to these type of things. For example has anyone ever compared the artwork from the Japanese boxes to American ones? American ones are terrible across the board. Here's an example of UN Squadron for U.S. www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/236949-u-n-squadron-snes-front-cover.jpg UN Squadron for Japan(renamed the proper title Area 88) otaku.com/files/images/fullsize/51334Y.JPG Super Mario World US cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-ymgqt/images/stencil/original/products/26439/35831/snes-super-mario-world-box__93325.1489073566.jpg?c=2&imbypass=on Super Mario Word Japan www.supergabygames.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/SMW_SMB4-JAP_-_COVER.jpg

[@LoDDEMOCIDE]

The SNES is much nicer looking than the Super Famicon.

[@curious5661]

You need your eyes rinsed. Besides ithat is not the super Famicon, that's the Pal Snes. The Pal Snes looks so much better, it looks modern even today. The american snes looks like a gray and purple brick. It's like comparing champange to carbonated piss.

[@ZombifiedDuder]

Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I agree with LoDDEMOCIDE, the American SNES had such an iconic design. The Super Famicom has a cooler looking controller, and the logo is better, but the console itself just seems so... boring and standard to me. Plain grey-on-grey colors, and a curved design that seems reminiscent of the Genesis/Mega Drive. It just seems so utilitarian to me, like a tape player, while the American SNES looks like a proper video game console. I will say, though... I prefer the way the SFC carts looked, despite the lack of any end labels.

[@MrGencyExit64]

ZombifiedDuder I don't know, I think the boxy design of the american SNES looks about as ridiculous as the SuperGrafx. In many ways the two things look very similar (nevermind the difference in color). I like the simple design on the Super Famicom, it looks like something you'd play games on, rather than a weapon.

[@MrGencyExit64]

Tarte aux pommes What the hell is a burger eater?

[@ZombifiedDuder]

MrGencyExit64 I think it's slang for "Dopey American"... but I could be wrong.

[@LaenPvP]

Johnny, regarding the piece of tape on your SNES controller ~12 inches up from where it connects, i believe you originally had taped up the frayed wires at the base and the tape slide down (probably scotch tape which its adhesive can dry up quickly) So it doesn't look like it was cut then taped up (that's what i think you guys were thinking while filming) I'm such a nerd for writing this O_o, but i love this review, keep em' coming!

[@sithwarrior]

great video and the Snes is a awesome system, also good choice of music at the end Crono Trigger FTW

[@ReDonkulous607]

You and James, the Angry Video Game Nerd, need to combine your collections and RULE THE WORLD!

[@Nukemann64]

I have a question, did the same import store that you bought the Super Famicom from also sell games for it? I know that the US SNES cartridges weren't compatible with the SF and vice versa.

[@Keith2XS]

I always thought the North American SNES had the better less kiddy controller design but thought the Super Famicom console looked cool.

[@brankomeyer]

you guys are so much fun to watch! do more of these before robmans baby comes.

[@entresierras]

Loved the Gonzales-Gato at the end

[@beatchef]

I'm glad we got the Super Famicom design in Europe, though we were permanently gimped with PAL and 1 to 2 year late releases. I am really attuned to the speed of games and music and every time I play american versions of games I loved back in the day it's weird hearing the music faster. I think the biggest difference is in NES Super Mario Bros.

[@beatchef]

*Or no release at all, we didn't get Earthbound or Chrono Trigger.

[@mftvgcinema]

Oh yea we did. I saw a US Snes in friend's house once and asked him what a fuck is that, why it says Super Nintendo on it? And he said it's American Super Nintendo that his dad bring to him from US. I was like, thank god our version doesn't look ugly piece of shit like that. We had original design with Super Nintendo text on it. But everything else gaming related back then, we got screwed over and over, and some ways still do.

[@MalignantWraith]

snaketusv Yeah, thank god we got the famicom design! :D

[@beatchef]

***** all of our games right up to and including PS2 were 17% slower and had horrible black borders

[@beatchef]

***** because PAL has a higher clock frequency and more lines than NTSC but all the games were made for NTSC, they had to be 'slowed' to compensate for the clock difference and borders put on to compensate for less lines. The only times we had a better version of games instead of much worse was on British games like Wipeout and on certain games on the sweet sweet Dreamcast that were 'Pal 60hz'.

[@Atarix777]

A very great video to start my day with (while having my good morning coffee of course ^^)... I just can understand while both of you had these bright eys while talking about the SNES/FAMICOM, after this video I just would like to start right away to play with the machine again, but now I have to go to work ;-( Maybe I'll come up with a videoresponse later on, too :-) Have a good one and thx for the nice vid!

[@drakewolfe]

I remember when I got my Super Famicom, it was a RELIGIOUS experience, my dad shelled out $400 plus shipping from JAPAN, I had it a week after release, and I got Super Mario Bros.4 (World) with it. As a matter of fact, I still have it, it's sitting right here beside me and it still works flawlessly. It's tied IMHO with my Turbo Duo for #1 console.

[@LynnMooney]

Question, I bought a Super Famicom and I live in the US. It came with the official Nintendo adapter. The adapter says 100V. US is standard for 120V. Hooking the system to the outlet can it damage or harm the ac adapter? Any help is appreciated.

[@seikenflyer]

Im From Brazil and i remember like if it were yesterday the day i got to play my super nes. I didnt go to the beach so i could play Super Mario World; great system, i remember when i was able to rent Street fighter 2, i mean play SF2 at home with a quality very close to the arcades. lol. Great moments and great video. You guys really love this.

[@HatesStupidPeople194]

omg i remember getting my SNES for christmas the year it came out from my grandpa, he was so happy to buy it for me. i got the mario paint edition while my cousin got the mario kart. i still have it to this day and love it!

[@usagijava]

That diamond layout for the 4 face buttons (where the distance between the left-most and right-most buttons is greater than the distance between the top-most and bottom-most buttons) on the SNES controller was amazing. Wish they'd go back to that design.

I have a question, if I buy a snes pal will it work properly here in Canada ?

[@gamerslivingroom]

Great idea for a video guys. Loved hearing your thoughts on the two systems and have to agree that the Super Famicom is the better design. I may be biased as that's the one I've got and I'm glad they brought that design over here to the UK. I recently made a video on the system myself and would like to post it as a response. I hope that's acceptable as it's not a direct response but I do talk about why I prefer the Japanese design over that launched in North America.

[@JazzemYT]

Speaking as someone from the UK, I agree 100%! In PAL territories we had the Super Fami design, which to my five year old mind was amazing; everything about it just emphasized 'fun', and it remains my favourite system design (along with the Mega Drive model 1) to this day. When I saw the US SNES design years later, I was all "...the hell did they do!? o_o"

[@Mad-Slick]

Donkey Kong Country, Super Castlevania, and Super Mario Kart. I can't recall how many hours I put into those 3 games. Those were the DAYS!

[@egotram]

Still have my UK SNES as bought on the release day with both controllers working. Had to replace the power supply about five years ago though !

[@theaceofspades56]

[@smisheski]

was super mario world on super famicon in english? when you rented it?

[@tetsujin_144]

The SFC version of Super Mario World has Japanese text. But it's only an issue when there's text to read, which isn't too often in that game...

[@Dystnine]

I love the button colours. When I was younger, I thought it was sweets embedded in the controller.

[@Icza]

This was such a great episode. It really makes me want to go play some SNES XD. F-Zero, man what a game.

[@Applesgosh]

I grew up with the good ol' Super Nintendo design and to this day, I friggin love the ABXY button style and whenever I look back on it, I get a little tingle in my spine ^-^

[@brockly12345]

My mother bought me a (PAL) snes a year ago and i was blown away by the gorgeous design. super mario world still seems surreal to me: the graphics and sounds and level designs

[@Montork]

i never even heard of snes until as late as 94. when i moved into a new house and the neighbors had it and donkey kong country. i never even got to play but i loved to watch. i begged my parents and got one for Christmas.... i played that thing right through the n64 days right up until i got a game boy advance. the controller cord is duck taped and my favorite games where the 3donkey kong countries, yoshis island, and turtles in time. i just remember playing it then watching that 70's show...

[@tomelliott73]

I had the uk pal version but also bought the USA version and loved it so much more because of the ntsc scart output 17 percent faster and cleaner looking you really could tell the difference and I loved my USA SNES and the purple buttons felt different than the other versions great video

I was probably too young to have any real release memories (born in 1990) but I have had a lot of memories with my SNES back when I was 5. The very first game I ever got my hands on at home was Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. I played the crap out of that game. I also lived right across Willows Videos at the time and that's when we rented the N64 when it first came out and I was blown away, I mean I was like 7 at the time. In fact that Willows Videos is still there today. I still go there

This must sound so weird, but I'm so nostalgic for your older, badly lit videos.

I'm so glad we got the Japanese design of the SNES in Europe.....it's so sexy! and damn.....you guys really brought up a lot of magical feelings from those SNES days. Those first moments I played games like Super Mario World, Contra III (Super Probotector over here), Mario Kart etc etc TRULY magical gaming moments

Its great to see him do a video on the subject. I feel the same as Johnny and Rob Man. I even went as far as getting a broken Euro Super Nintendo from eBay, as well as a Super Famicom, planning on swapping the working SuFami guts into the broken Euro Super Nintendo. I have a Honeybee (?) converter that I could use for US games on it. That way, I could get a system with the smoother lines, but still said Super Nintendo on the case. I never got around to doing anything after getting them.

I got the SNES for Christmas 1992. I was given the SNES, Super Mario World, Mario Paint, Street Fighter 2, Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past (abbreviating it cheapens the game) and the Super Scope 6 bundle. I love this system, hands down the greatest ever, I firmly believe people still follow Nintendo because of this. Also, we have the Playstation because of this. It was supposed to be an add-on for the SNES like the Sega CD was. This is quite possibly the best console ever.
