super Nintendo looks like the 90s
super Famicom looks like the 80s
personally I like the snes design more but the more important question is why did only the American snes have concave buttons and why concave in the first place?
Definitely. That's without even mentioning the colour schemes.
It's wake up time in the UK right now, it will be interesting to see the shift in opinion over the day when different countries have their say.
your quote just reinstate the fact that American truly has terrible taste and judgement.
US Dominant Sport: American Football (not played using foot)....Super Bowl, wut...
Rest of the World Dominant Sport: REAL Football (played using foot)..World Cup is truly GLOBAL
US Dominant units of measurement: Imperial system based on ass
Rest of the World dominant units of measurement: Metric system based on logic
US SIM Card: Locked SIM is a thing
Rest of the World SIM Card: WTF is a locked SIM?
US NES/SNES: As boxy as possible design
Rest of the World NES/SNES: Sleek Console design
US OG Xbox Controller: Dukes For Gorillas
Rest of the World Controller: PlayStation 2 Dual Shock 2 (whatisaxbox.gif)
President of US: Donald Trump
President(s) of Rest of the World: NOT Donald Trump
/jk................Maybe?
NA SNES is such a hideous thing.
I feel kinda sad for people who prefer that design because of their warped childhood.
Extend the black bar around the whole box and it's not bad. I prefer the PAL/Famicon icon, though.On a slightly different note... the Super Famicom and US SNES package design shits on PAL package design from a high height. I always thought the PAL designs were an awful mishmash of the US package design with the Super Famicom logo.

While its great we get teh 60Hz versions, this is one thing that slightly niggles me with the SNES Classic - all the box art will be the NTSC versions with their rather boring take on the logo.I also wanted to point out how NoA also changed the logo.
JP/EU use the left logo on the cover art for SNES games.
US uses the right logo on the cover art for SNES games

Definitely.I love that logo to death, but on Super Famicom packaging. Looks odd to me on a half-black package.
There were revisions of both the SNES and Super Famicom late into the generation. This is where they started evening out, though I'm still not a fan of the two concave buttons on the SNES controller.
I don't think the US one looks really bad or anything, but what were they thinking with that ugly colorscheme?
Because americans have notoriously bad tastes.
It's true. It's why it's called Royal purple and not peasant purplebruh..........wut...
Not gonna lie I think the US design looks way better. I've never seen a SNES or a Super Famicom before in my life (I'm 14) and I think the hard edges and purple highlights on the US one are magic.
bruh..........wut...

The color works fine. Royal purple is a sign of wealth and power which I assume is why they went with it. Purple gamecube was also best gamecube.
Now this is a machineDespite growing up as a SNES kid, I feel that they're both ugly in their own way. The NTSC is boxy and bland, whilst the PAL/SFC is anonymous looking. The Mega Drive on the other hand...

NTSC box art is so black. Every game with the same colour scheme. I just love the colourful variety of our PAL versions, even if the contents were the subpar 50Hz.
I only saw the US design for the first time a few years ago and I couldn't believe how ugly it was. Aside from odd special editions, it's by FAR the ugliest console Nintendo have released.
My mind just goes "nooooo" to the lefthand ones, and I think the righthand ones are sleek.
So much this. The colour change is so weird.It's a shame they redesigned it. The colored buttons are such a big part of the SNES' identity.
Wash your mouth out! Ver. 2 was altogether too safe and boring.It's younger brother was better looking
Because the original design was ass.
