NES vs SNES

[Godwynn]

Real controllers have curves.

Indeed, the best controllers have curves.

SNES, but I have a bias since I played that earlier in my life. Anyways, Mario Kart, LttP, Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Mario World... all are still some of my favorite games.

Snes

I loved playing super mario kart, legend of zelda and other games

It's fairly simple - NES controllers are more masculine therefore LucyDuke likes them. SNES controllers are more feminine therefore most of the males here defend them.

 

[Earthling]

Nope, I've almost never used either as I didn't have either system, and voted solely on my perception of the quality, success, and influence of the games and each system on the future of the industry.

 

[Rashiminos]

A NES, of course. I even had the NES "multi-tap" back in the day. If I want SNES I can always just emulate with the Wii; as a physical console it's nothing special.

Let's see:

If I keep the NES, then I have to blow/clean the connectors about every other day to get the games to run (and without numerous graphical glitches).

If I keep the SNES, I can expect 5-year old games to run when I put them in.

Tough choice.

 

[Narz]

Yeah, having to blow on the games was definitely a pain in the ass!

If that's your logic, scrap both and buy a Wii.

Smart man.

I guess he couldn't handle the graphics.

Another vote for NES, then?

 

[Mad Man]

The NES's strongest game has always been Bad Dudes

That was great as an arcade game, I was actually somewhat disappointed playing the NES version.

The NES's strongest game was Nobunaga's Ambition.

Here's my tribute to it (you have to use I.E. to watch)

I gotta vote for the NES as the SNES was more or less unavailabe where I lived and everyone had Sega. Consoles owned.
Atari 2600, NES, Sega Master System, Sega Mega Drive, Mega CD, PS1, Saturn, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, Atari Lynx, Gameboy Advance, PSP.

I still own all of them apart from the Saturn and maybe the PS1.

Blowing the cartridges and the console slot actually damages them.

ya, coz i found something better... but more expensive...

 

[Rashiminos]

Not that much, and it's a small price to pay to actually play a game or two.

 

[Mise]

Best way to clean them is to wash them in warm water. No soap though, that will damage them.

I used rubbing alcohol on a q-tip. Worked like a charm.
