Super Nintendo when it came out, S-N-E-S later. I called the NIntendo the Nintendo for years until I started calling it the N-E-S
>>3144617
This, except as a kid, I added "original/regular" to "Nintendo" for the NES.
Super Duper Nintenpooper
I called the PAL one a SNES and the US one a Super BuickDrive.
>>3144617
my friends and I all called the NES "original Nintendo"
Super NES
I was actually surprised upon coming to /vr/ to learn I'm in the minority in that regard.
>>3144603
god fucking damn why didnt we at least get the PAL design, NA snes is so fucking ugly and so are the carts.
>>3144710
yeah i hate the fucking purple shit on the 3rd party carts
>>3144710
Why? BECAUSE WE SAVED YOUR ASS IN THE WAR! so deal with it!
Called it Supes Nintens. I was a pretty cool kid in the 90s.
>>3144908
Now I'm just imagining Ninten from Mother dressed as Superman.
"fag shit"
t. megadrive man
Super Famicom
supa nintinda
>>3144603
It was always Super Nintendo for me. Nowadays I sometimes call it "Super NES" but I prefer "Super Nintendo."
SNESS
>>3144603
Never heard it called anything other than 'Super' or just 'Super Nintendo' but I'm old as fuck.
If you actually grew up with the system: "Super Nintendo"
If you're a emulator kiddie who played "retro" games on his laptop in highschool to seem "cool": "SNESsss"
Stupid Pretendo
>>3145104
This. It's a definite tell when someone says snessss. I never heard this growing up. I'm 32.
NES = "Regular Nintendo"
Super Nintendo = "Super"
>faggots who phonetically pronounced it SNES
>>3145109
So you were an 8 year old babby when it was out and you feel you and your fellow diaper shitters were the law at how it was called?
>>3145108
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cIvo8flaBc
>>3144715
What war you delusional crack baby?
Usually "Super Nintendo", sometimes "Sness". I don't mind any pronunciation except the weird "Snezz" that I hear some Brits say. That really clonks my bonkers.
>>3145124
fucking DESTROYED
>>3145050
Spotted the PAL fag.
>>3145109
27 here and the closest thing would be Super NES, and even that was just in commercials. Everyone I knew called it a Super Nintendo, and even hardcore segafags like me knew this.
sea ness
Called it "Super" or "The Super" when talking to friends/brothers, as in "wanna play the super?"
Typical Australian language shortening bullshit I guess.
Call the NES "the nintendo" and the N64 "the 64"
>>3144698
we called it the reg-lar Nin-ten-doh.
snes was the Su-per Nin-ten-doh.
>>3145503
Texasfag? That's how it was for me, too.
>>3145514
I'm from DFW suburbs and I believe I called it the S-N-E-S or Super N-E-S most of the time, with perhaps the occasional Super Nintendo. Kinda hard to remember, honestly.
>>3145529
I'm like 30 minutes away from Ft. Worth.
>>3145534
Cool, I live in Plano. I know there are some other posters on here are from the DFW area.
>>3145570
I'm from Austin, currently living just outside of Houston.
My friends and I called it either "Super Nintendo" or "Super N-E-S".
>>3145818
Fort Hood area, I always heard Super Nintendo.
>>3144603
it went like this:
>nintendo
>super
>64
>sega
....and everything else had its normal name.
I cant stand when i hear people say "ness" or "s'ness"... like nails on a chalk board.
Super Nintendo, and I still call it that in person. I usually type it as SNES because it's shorter and easier, though.
>>3145435
I called it Super Nintendo.
I called it "Sega cassette system"
NES: N-E-S, Original Nintendo
SNES: S-N-E-S, Super Nintendo
N64: N-64, Nintendo 64
>>3146420
NESS and S'NESS sound awful to me. First person I heard pronounce them that way was JonTron.
>>3146481
>NES: N-E-S, Nintendo
>SNES: S-N-E-S, Super Nintendo
>N64: N-64, The 64
This or super nintendo sometimes.
Regular Nintendo
Super Nintendo
Nintendo Sixty Four (but I knew a kid that called is the "SNES 64" which always baffled me)
>>3145497
Wow, here was the same although i'm chileanfag.
>>3144603
we called it "el super" in spicland
NES = N-E-S
SNES = Super Nintendo
NES is less ambiguous than "Nintendo" and shorter than Nintendo Entertainment System. Super Nintendo rolls off the tongue better than S-N-E-S and isn't ambiguous at all.
>>3146420
This guy gets it
>>3146420
>implying
everything was Nintendo until 64
Sega was Genesis
no one owned a Saturn
I didn't call it anything because I didn't know anyone that had one because eastern Europe.
>>3145529
Same. Still irks me when people pronounce it as a word: "Snes" rather than "S-N-E-S"
/autism
NES = Nintendo, old Nintendo, original Nintendo
SNES = Super Nintendo
Nintendo 64 = N64, 64, Nintendo 64
>>3145104
I did grow up with the system, and I call it snes now. Fight me.
>this retarded autistic thread
>still on the front page
Delete this board
SNES, I called it Super
NES I called it regular nintendo
Genesis, I called it Sega
SMS, I called it old sega
Saturn, I called it New Sega
N64, I called it, 64 (hey wana play some 64?)
>>3144603
1. Super Nintendo
2. Super N E S
3. S N E S
What no one called it in my area:
Sness (that's fucking retarded, kill yourself if you say this)
>Being so autistic that you always have to say its full name.
SNESS
N
E
S
S
>>3146913
>being so autistic you pronounce non-word acronyms as words
>>3144603
none of the options, we just called it Nintendo because I didn't live in a poor neighborhood and all the kids either had a md, snes, pce or aes.
>>3146928
Son, NASA would like to talk with you.
>>3146934
Why are brits so insufferable.
>>3146928
Go look up the definition of acronym. Then go look up initialism and see where you fucked up.
>>3146654
Everyone always called the NES "Nintendo" when it was still Nintendo's only system, just like they always called the Atari 2600 "Atari." Unfortunately, that doesn't really work in the modern vernacular because everyone thinks of the company first, and Nintendo has made lots of systems that are well known. I adjusted to calling it the "N.E.S." as an adult because people immediately know which Nintendo system I'm talking about that way.
With "Super Nintendo" everyone instantly knows which system I'm talking about, so there was never a need to call it "Super N.E.S.", "S.N.E.S.", or god forbid "Sness."
Everyone in the '90s knew the two big systems were Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
>>3144603
Super Nintendo
or
"Ess en ee ess"
or Super NES
"Sness" actually offends me. What a terrible way to refer to the system. I can just imagine you britcucks as insufferable fat children spewing SNESSSSS from your slimey lips. Gross.
Did any US posters on here either hear or use SNESS back in the day (as in, say, pre-2000). I was big into the console back when it was current and I honestly don't think I ever heard that pronunciation until within maybe the past 10 years or so.
>>3147260
I never heard anyone say SNESS up until a couple years ago on the internet.
>25 people on this board
>RIGHT NOW
>unironically called it a "sness"
and you wonder why this board is cancer
>>3147224
I've literally never heard a single British person call it a SNESS. So imagine all you like, because that's as far as this extends.
Why are so many of you absolutely buttblasted by the term "sness"?
>>3147380
As a Brit I'd cringe if I ever heard anyone call it that. But I haven't, ever.
>>3147380
Same reason people gag when they see something disgusting.
>>3147380
Not really sure, I've been hearing it more often lately, and using it myself for brevity. Caring how other people pronounce the name of a toy seems silly.
I called it the SNES, as in "Ess Ness", and called the NES either the "Ness" or "En Eee Ess"
>>3147380
>why don't you like it when I call the GameBoy Advance "the Gubbah?"
>why don't you like it when I call the Sega Megadrive "Sega Mud?"
>why don't you like it when I call the Nintendo Gamecube "the Guckin?"
>>3144603
"Super Ness" as kids
Now I call it "sness"
>>3146947
>britain
>pce/tg-16
no
>>3148620
I'm going to start using these terms now, thank you.
>>3146947
They're ugly, introverted, have horrible teeth, gross women and live under the most miserable weather planet earth has to offer. Its understandable.
Australia.
Before the SNES existed the NES was just called: "Nintendo".
When the SNES came out: the NES became "old Nintendo" in front of parents, or norms who weren't into vidya.
When speaking with friends or vidya-playing people: it was "ness". No "z" sounds. Rhymes with "yes".
The SNES was referred to as: "Super Nintendo" to the parent and norms.
And yes, the SNES was referred to as "sness" to friends and those in the know.
I know this will sound painful and unbelievable to the Americans here. But this is all true for the part of the world I grew up in.
PS: it was "sea gah" and not "say gah" here also.
"Nendo"
Brother and I were so lazy we cut it down a bit
Honestly, noone I knew had a SNES.
Everyone went from NES to Playstation.
To this day I think I've only ever had one friend who owned one IRL.
I've never played on the real thing, just emulation
It was always SNES, pronounced SNEZ in Ireland where I live. I knew SNEZ for a long time before I know what it meant, because "entertainment" is a fairly long and abstract word when you're 5.
I NEVER heard anyone call it "S-N-E-S" "SNESS" and if I did I would tell them they were pronouncing it wrong because they were. Spelling out an acronym like a fucking faggot, who ever would do that ffs.
Eat shit American neckbeards with ridiculous superiority complexes.
Sega Gemesis
>>3149082
So basically what you're saying is that you cunts can't pronounce anything properly
>Be at flea market during 2000s
>Looking for a 60->72 pin adapter in a 5-screw NES cart
>Video game sellers booth
>"Where are your NES games?"
>Blank look
>"Nintendo games?"
>Points me to SNES games
>"No REGULAR Nintendo games"
>"You mean the OLD old Nintendo?"
>"Sure"
Fucking Mexicans
SNES or Super NES
Supertendo.
I had speech problems as a little kid.
I usually call it garbage, but otherwise I say Sness. I can only imagine Americans saying Ess Enn Eee Ess or Super Enn Eee Ess, as they are all whiny and nasally speakers.
>>3149310
>as they are all whiny and nasally speakers.
>has literally never heard an American accent in his life
>>3149329
>hahlow aye'm ahn Uhmerrycan. Cood yoo pleease payss thee wadder?
>>3149349
Add a m8 on the end and it's Australian. Wonderful British accent, lad.
>>3149310
>all Americans talk with the same accent
>>3149390
Ok here's a different one
>ayy yoo muh fuh nuhuh shibbity boobaa muhufuhah ass nuhhuh beech ass ass muh fuhuh nuh skaboobaadadoo bix nood
>>3149390
>country larger than Europe
>apparently every region is the same
He's retarded, isn't he?
Super NES.
grew up with it, east coast US.
>>3149149
>Ireland
>relevant in the 20th century video game market
It's almost cute that you potato munchers think you have any sway on the name, especially when your region was given the inferior console
>>3149453
But did you pronounce NES as "In-Eee-Ess" or "NEZZ"?
>>3144603
I also refer to the SNES as the "Super Nintendo", although I always call the Nintendo Entertainment System the "NES". I have no idea why I am not consistent in their naming.
>>3147510
Fuck me! Everyone stop what you're doing to point and laugh at this guy!
>>3149617
Enn-Eee-Ess. wtf "nezz"? What retard pronounces it like that?
>>3149635
Hard S sounds a bit like a Z.
>>3149645
If you can't speak English, sure.
everyone called it "Super Nintendo".
I think SNES came out when the internet became commonplace in 1999
>>3149645
You and I know this is a troll thread which we all fell for. Enn-Eee-Ess is what anybody who grew up with it called it. I'm not replying to any more trolls
>>3149647
So how do you pronounce "says" or "was"?
Anyone that says S-N-E-S is a massive twat
>>3149645
But its clearly S. As in "Snake" not "waS". Say it with me. ENN EEE ESS........ ESSSSSSSSSS. Not Ezzzzzzzzzz
>>3149675
S dash N dash E dash S. I wouldn't pronounce it that way either.
>>3149675
Sness you, fgt!
I guess no-one will ever just accept that different people in different places said it differently.
>>3149617
en-ee-es, like the other anon said.
>>3149676
>clearly
When a word ends in S, it sounds like a Z.
So SNES should be pronounced as SNEZZ like guise or ruse.
>>3150691
So "yes" is "yezz"?
