Super Nintendo, S-N-E-S, Super N-E-S.

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!

 

[Ashby]

I always say Super EnnEeeEss or Super Nintendo. I never say SNES in any of its variations.

We're the only group of people getting into heaven tbh

How do y’all pronounce “DC Comics”, then

See, now this would be an initialism, because you can't functionally read it as a word.

Unlike SNES (or DARPA and NASA).

 

[Easy_D]

I don't get it.

Ness on a Super Nintendo?

 

[Aaronrules380]

So are we witnessing the start of a mod war or something

 

[Dyle]

First they put the l33t speak hammer bros in Superstar Saga, and I did not speak out, because I did not like l33t speak

Then they put the doge memes in Triforce Heroes, and I did not speak out, because I did not like doge memes

Then they codified the pronunciation as sness, and there was no one left to speak for me

 

[Not]

There's no option in the poll for "snay-ass"

 

[RAWi]

How do y’all pronounce “DC Comics”, then

As "sness". Everybody knows that.

 

[Twilight Princess]

I would rather eat 20 bags of dicks then say snezzz even once.

 

[Syriel]

Why can't you fuckers just be normal.

Never been a more appropriate thread for this.

you've heard of elf on the shell, now prepare for ness on the sness

It was never N-E-S. It was Nintendo. You played Nintendo.

What's with all this rewriting history shit? You probably think you're in a parallel universe because of those Bear books or something, don't ya?

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

NoA Twitter trying to jump on a bandwagon without thinking of the repercussions is all this is. It's not actually Sness they just want to be cool and now everyone is gonna think this is the real deal.

Damn you NoA. When will you ever learn?

It's not even NOA it's Nintendo NY twitter Who cares what some geek intern has to say.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Ness on an Essennyess still rhymes

Sorry peeps

My savior. Deliver us from evil. S-N-E-S or Super Nintendo are the only moral choices. New York needs jesus.

I blame this on the mysterious "liberal agenda" I'm always hearing about.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

How do y’all pronounce “DC Comics”, then

Detective Comics Comics.

 

[soldat7]

*high-five*

 

[Lucas Sparks]

Yeaaa, I dunno. I saw that picture and said in my head, "Ohhh, Ness on the ESS N E ESS" it rhymes, it works.

 

[Makonero]

I don't get it.

Ness on a Super Nintendo?

Easy_D
never left the stone age

get with the new age snessssssssssssssss

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

"Ness on the ess en ee ess"

It works for the acronym

Yea this whole thread is crazy. Ness on SNES works just fine.

 

[afternoon delight]

Ess n e ess people are weirdos

It's not weird to be right dammit. We had n ee esses first and then a new one came out- throw an ess in front of that shit.

No one had a ness in the 8 bit dayz, lemme tell ya.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

The sness reprobates are hinging their legitimacy on a meme that does this to the internet:

Don't worship false gods.

 

[8BitsAtATime]

I just call it a Super

 

[MrSaturn99]

I don't get it.

Ness on a Super Nintendo?

Sness.

 

[KojiKnight]

Ok, so what makes SNES one and DARPA the other?

DARPA sounds like a word, sness sounds like your Voldemort's special cousin that only speaks in snake.

 

[Rushersauce]

Ness on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System?

 

[Syriel]

How do y’all pronounce “DC Comics”, then

You probably say "ATM Machine" don't you?

 

[Stumpokapow]

The sness reprobates are hinging their legitimacy on a meme that does this to the internet:

Don't worship false gods.

but "boi" doesn't rhyme with the way illinoisans say "illinois"

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I have only ever said Sness. All my friends have only ever said Sness (even after I moved to another state). People on GAF like to say Sness is a "British" thing but I really think that's just how a lot of people said it.

Especially if you weren't gaming-conscious during the NES. My first console was an N64 and I went backwards to the SNES afterward. There was no logical way to pronounce it other than SNESS because it's one syllable versus four.

I think, if you say S N E S, you are possibly showing your age.

 

[GrizzNKev]

How do y’all pronounce “DC Comics”, then

sness comics

 

[Nerd_Incognito]

Yeah, well the creator of the gif pronounces it jif. Creators are often wrong.

Spoiler

It's ES EN EE ES.

 

[offshore]

This is fucking horseshit. How can it be SNESS? There aren't two esses at the end of SNES, so ergo, it must be pronounced snez. It's pretty simple.

 

[Gattsu25]

Why would a poll be added that has nothing but incorrect answers?

Everyone knows that the system is pronounced S-N-E-S or (if you're regressive) Super Nintendo.

Edit: I'll also accept Super N-E-S or even Super Ninty

Basically, the only pronunciation that is wrong is sness

 

[watdaeff4]

you've heard of elf on the shell, now prepare for ness on the sness

Are you sure that's what the post means?

I thought that just like the elf on the shelf they were telling everyone that due to "unforeseen demand" no one will be able to touch one of these during the holiday season

 

[Rock And Roll]

It's Ess en E Ess. Fake news.

 

[Zombegoast]

Es-n-e-es

But then I heard Jontron said Sness and it stuck to me because it has less syllables

 

[dottme]

This thread with the mod wars is killing me 😂😂😂

And so many title change 😂

 

[Daingurse]

Haha, yesssss. I will forever call it the SNESS.

 

[Goldenroad]

Clearly Nintendo Twitter being run by Millenials. When I was their age it was a Super Nintendo.

 

[Archtreyz]

Is there a difference between an NES and SNES? I thought NES waa short for SNES?

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Never been a more appropriate thread for this.



It was never N-E-S. It was Nintendo. You played Nintendo.

What's with all this rewriting history shit? You probably think you're in a parallel universe because of those Bear books or something, don't ya?

Not what NOA promotional video says.

[Makonero]

but "boi" doesn't rhyme with the way illinoisans say "illinois"

how the hell do you pronounce illinoisians?

ill-uh-noy-shuns? ill-uh-noy-see-ans? idd-ee-uhts?

 

[DKoops]

this is the best wiggler wednesday ever

That sentence made me laugh harder than it should.

I said it both ways. As a child, I always said sness, but find myself saying S-N-E-S a bit more often now. Maybe this thread can help me to make an informed decision... hopefully... maybe. Nah, you know what, that isn't going to happen.

 

[Aeriscloud]

Who the fuck is Xander Cage??

 

[WordAssassin]

It's not even NOA it's Nintendo NY twitter Who cares what some geek intern has to say.

I realized my mistake too late for that post but corrected myself later!

Much like the idiot running the Nintendo Store NYC Twitter should do!

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Ness on an Essennyess still rhymes

Sorry peeps

That's the way I do it.
