SNES

Today I'm blogging about the Super Nintendo entertainment system, Ive personally had this console ever since a was a young lad and have loved it ever since.

This system was released around 1990 (The year i was born whoop) and has been one of Nintendo's biggest successes. there is literally hundreds of games if not thousands and majority all amazing just to give you a few examples Super Mario, Super Metroid, Yoshi's island, Kirby, Zelda a link to the past, Donkey Kong country, Super Mario Kart, and Mega Man. this console was a follow up from the original NES console and re released many NES games again with better graphics and sound the game pad and console were re designed too and reduced in size.

 

The controllers i think were one of the best improvements not only were they a LOT more comfy but they also had 4 more buttons the one problem with the old nes controllers was the sharp edges, for a bit they were ok but if you really got into a game they dint half get pain full. the fact that the snes controller had more buttons meant they could put more into games for example super metroid the top 2 buttons meant you could look diagonal instead of just horizontal and vertical one major improvement to the metroid series.

 

One of the most noticeable changes was the difference in graphics the snes had far superior graphics and vibrant colours this showed very well in the Mario series and the donkey Kong series the colours and backgrounds were amazing in its day and was what kept the games industry going and improving. 

The system used a cartridge format and the save data was saved straight to the cartridge which meant no memory cards and you could turn of the console and return to were you were when you left again another amazing idea that we all take for granted now a days, also because it was a cartridge they could never get scratched and were very hard wearing compared to the CD which can scratch and break. over all this console is amazing great selection of games, looks good, feels great amazing graphics and sound for a retro console, good old school gaming and even 20 years later i still get this out and play just keeps you coming back and always will :) if anyone wants to see some game play and visuals ill put a video bellow gives you a good range of the games and styles:

So that's a quick overview of the snes if you haven't played on this console i really recommend you do because its a great system for those that have what do you think do you agree with me or do you prefer a different system, all comments appreciated anyways all catch you in the next post.
