Superior designs coming through. The Super Famicom design may be a lot cleaner and stylish than the american SNES, but these prototype designs SHOUT stylish and look like hi-tech stuff.

Are there any PAL systems differing from the original Japanese/American?

OH FUCKING WOW. They really were serious about not making it look like a game system.
And all those prototypes somehow manage to look better than the VCR incarnation, which is the epitome of 'unstylish'.

Seriously, guys like >>463213, I will never get why you keep liking the in-your-face western console and cartridge design other than blatant nostalgia.
Even the SMS looked like a crazy ass cassette player but at least it had proper size carts and didn't look like it was compensating for something.

Here are some pics of the SNES prototypes. They were already settled with the purple palette, but by god didn't they look better than the final lego skyscraper it came to be. The Super Famicom and EU SNES manage to keep their style, with clean, round lines.
