Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
If you pronounce SNES as sness, do you also pronouncr DS as dess?

Damn plebs

And this is how I and everyone I knew back then said it. I still remember getting the system at launch back in junior high...Xander's parents might have been in daycare at the time.

Real talk. People only started SAYING 'SNESSSS" or "S-N-E-S" when the internet became popular and people were typing about it to each other. It was shorthand meant only for the sake of brevity in the typed word. People only started saying either of those words when they started seeing it typed online. Nintendo Power and gaming publications called it a Super Nintendo. People, said out loud, "Super Nintendo". Nobody should say either SNES or SNES. If you have time to talk about video games, you have time to say the words "Super Nintendo".

Yep, we either said the full "Super Nintendo" or used the N.E.S. initials after Super.

We called it the Nintendo and the NES as kids, so obviously it was the Super Nintendo and Super NES. None of that snez garbo.

this is like when people get in slapfights over saying (aloud) lol

el-oh-el
or
loll

I say neither. I just actually laugh out loud.

And when I needed to console warrior it up in middle school I talked about my super nintendo instead of needing to pronounce out shorthand acronyms in an age where folks are inaccurately mashing out everything they say on a 3 inch keyboard.

Super N-E-S

There's a whole lot of Nintendo Power preview videos where they spell it Super NES and pronounce it Super N-E-S.

josh is merely a mouthpiece, true, much like the oracle who ingests the sacred elixirs becomes a channel for the spirit world

what josh binds on VHS is bound in Kyoto, and what he looses on VHS is loosed in Kyoto

Gentlemen, gentlemen, there's no need to disagree on petty matters.

Let's all relax and share an expired bowl of the Nintendo Cereal System, or ENN CEE ESS for short.

next you'll tell me SNES means Super Nintendo Entertainment System instead of Swell Neat Extreme Sun

not a native english speaker so TIL LASER actually is an acronym, ooops. Thanks for the info, haha! Tried to make a joke as if it was an acronym, but flopped completely, since it is.

Did none of you or your friends have a TV or watch any advertisements? Cause there was never an official ad on US TV that called it the snez or sness.
