SNES Review

Brief Description:

The SNES was Nintendo's successor to the NES. There are many different names for this console: Super Famicom, Super Comboy, etc. Many of it's names are acronyms. The Japanese version looked slightly different from the worldwide version. It was released in 1990.

The Positive Points:

-It was the first controller to introduce the bumper, and the first to use the 4 standard button design that is still used today. The controllers also featured a curved design that fixed the issue that the NES had where the sharp corners would hurt people's hands.

-It gave birth the the Mario Kart franchise.

-Introduced the futuristic racing sub-genre and upped the standard for even regular racing games at the time with the release of F-zero.

The Negative Points: No other negative points that differ from that of the NES

Innovative: Yes

Affordability At It's Release (affordability for it's time): Fair

General Public Rating: A Little Overrated

Success: Successful

My Personal Final Rating: Good (4/6)
