[Muffin1611]

SNES

Super Nintendo Entertainment System

DAS SUPER NINTENDO UNTERHALTUNGSSYSTEM

Spoiler

/s

 

[Accoun]

It's jif, goddamn it.

Let the soft g into your life.

"Ghiff." Ughh. It's hard to even say.

Dżif.

 

[Wazzy]

How the fuck you get SNEZZ from SNES?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Shit was scripted by NOA so. Scripted by NOA > Some geek intern.

... you know junior copywriter is typically an unpaid internship, right?

 

[Synth]

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.

I watched TV and advertisements.

In the UK.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

diddy, welcome to the resistance

josh go on chapo

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

This is it....

NeoGAF will fall on this day. The day of days.

It was as predicted...

WITNESS

Just the gaming side.

 

[AgentLampshade]

Charles has two syllables.

 

[Gartooth]

Its not the sness and not the S.N.E.S., its the Super Nintendo. I don't own a library of games called Sness Metroid and Sness Punch-Out for crying out loud!

The twitter account probably just confused Ness with Ninten. So Ninten on the Super Nintendo.

 

[Kyoufu]

How the fuck you get SNEZZ from SNES?

The same way you get Prezzident instead of Pressident from President.

 

[Busaiku]

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

Spoiler

It's ES EN EE ES.

Good thing he was right.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

I always pronounced it as super knee s.

 

[Belgian Dude]

This is it....

NeoGAF will fall on this day. The day of days.

It was as predicted...

WITSNESS

You're just adding fuel to the fire!

 

[Aeriscloud]

I don't know why everyone is bugging out, that character was clearly named Phill in my version.

 

[Muffin1611]

I always pronounced it as super knee s.

Are you real

 

[Baraka Obama]

This is bullshit

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Super N-E-S

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=red8EG35G6I

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

that's liquid snake himself saying it folks

wrap it up snessailures

 

[woopWOOP]

snersse snersse

 

[KojiKnight]

I watched TV and advertisements.

In the UK.

Give me a single UK tv or radio ad that called it SNEZ and we can at least agree that NoE is at fault. Otherwise I'm just going to assume you tea drinkers messed up and refuse to admit fault.


You guys didn't even like the SNES.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I always pronounced it as super knee s.

The fuck kinda of left fielder are you?

 

[WordAssassin]

this is JOSH himself, in the official 1994 Product Demonstration Program

"16-bit Super N.E.S."


there it is


when it comes to the premier gaming console of the early 90s: are you going to trust Josh, who has a backwards baseball cap, or some dastardly bastardly millennial social media manager who tweets week old memes between killing off industries

Super N-E-S

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=red8EG35G6I

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

THANK YOU

I KNEW there had to be some advertisement or something that actually said it. I feel like I can even vaguely remember some from my youth. It was either Super Nintendo Entertainment System or Super En Ee Ess. Thank you both for doing the legwork and bringing in the heavy artillery.

Alright, litmus test: how do you pronounce AT-ST?

Correct answers:

AT-ST=A.T.S.T.
AT-AT=A.T.A.T.

Having said that, I'm willing to compromise. There's one scenario where Snez is ok and that's if you call a N.E.S. a Nez. I DEMAND CONSISTENCY

 

[Phu]

Nintendo won't even recognize 'wiimote' you really think they're an authority to trust for Nintendo product names?

 

[strafer]

i have never actually thought how it's pronounced here in sweden tho

 

[charlequin]

my friend took time out from simultaneously launching a AAA game and having a baby to make sure that everyone was set straight here

 

[CookTrain]

Well definitely. You can't half heart this stuff.

A.T.S.T., but atat. Sue me.

 

[Goldenroad]

This is the my new rationale for not buying a Switch.

CHikən wôkər

 

[Not]

Nintendo makes my favorite consoles: the Famicom; the SNES (pronounced sness); the GameKoob; the Woo; and the Swatch.

What about the Woo Uh?

 

[Professor Beef]

my friend took time out from simultaneously launching a AAA game and having a baby to make sure that everyone was set straight here

now he's guaranteed to have a AAA baby

 

[XANDER CAGE]

parenting and AAA crunch can be incredibly stressful. i can understand why someone this frazzled might say it wrong

AAAAGGGHH

 

[Dad]

I always pronounce it like it rhymes with neice

People who call them At Ats bug the shit out of me for this reason. What do you call all the other machines then??? Why is the AT-AT special VS the dozens of other AT-vehicles?

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Lol.

 

[Yarbskoo]

Ness amiibo
Voiced by Makiko Ōmoto
Officially confirmed alongside Falco and Wario
Has the most powerful back throw
It's pronounced "Super Nintendo"

 

[Aeriscloud]

What about the Woo Uh?

It's pronounced Uh Oh.

 

[PikkonX]

I never heard the "sness" stuff until the last three years or so. Literally everyone I knew growing up and now has always called it "Super Nintendo".

 

[Muffin1611]

I always pronounce it like it rhymes with neice

...sneeze?

it sounds like your friend has mommy brain, happens to the best of us

 

[Archtreyz]

Do you pronounce it Peeetaaah or Pee Eee Tee Aay?

 

[Drkirby]

I personally always pronounced SNES like Ness, and treated it as an acronym and not a initialism. It's either Super Nintendo or Snes for me.

 

[Fuchs]

What if we had pronounced Ness wrong the whole time?

 

[Wamb0wneD]

It's either Super Nintendo or S.N.E.S. Deal with it.

they aren't real

You aren't real. :/

Hey you know what was a cool game on the S N E S, Ys III.

You mean Uaisthree?

 

[Dad]

...sneeze?

Sort of but with an s sound instead of a z sound at the end

 

[Christine]

Real talk, "at sit" isn't ideal but it's a thousand times less bad than this nonsense.
