Succ me daddy

>>4406378
Go back in time to a pre-internet date and tell everybody you order games from the other side of the world because they're cheaper.

They'd think you were insane

>yellowing
Heh, we can't all have chad SNES's like OP

>No classics allowed

Or what?

Yanks never basked in the sensual aesthetics of the original until too late

I don't put makeup on my SNES to hide it.

what's the purpose of this thread

>>4406614
Comfy set-up. Except pic related.

>>4406374
Fight me.

>>4406642
Ha, ya that's my original NES from when I was a kid, 9 year old me thought that was rad

>>4406643

10/10 beautiful shitpost

>>4406654
Fuck that poster. The fact that you STILL have your childhood stickers on your NES is genuinely charming.

>>4406660
respect

>>4406643
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.

Pardon the Zool, but here you go. I was just checking it out.

It's shit.

>>4406658
I hate how there is extra French on every package in North America ever to avoid triggering the damn Quebecois
also Spanish fuck Mexico too

>>4406675
I also have emulation as well.

>>4406441
Don't be a

Is yellowing a mark of shame?

>>4406679
dont worry, im a Quebecfag and this really annoys me too

>>4406679
Canada and Mexico (and Latin America) were a huge market for Nintendo too, though.
Anyway, I didn't start seeing those multi language booklets and boxes until the GC era. I'm from a Latin America country and all the official Nintendo stuff I got was standard US version, english only.

>>4406684
Maybe for collectors who got a used one.
My SNES is the same one I owned as a kid, I absolutely don't mind the yellow plastic.
It doesn't affect the SNES functionality at all.

>>4406679
>how DARE you force me to read English and not my special snowflake language!

>>4406674
Do you live in a literal shithole?

>>4406679

The same product line was distributed in those countries, you mongrel. It's cheaper to produce a single ubiquitous box instead of designing more packaging variants that would be exclusive to one region or another.

>>4406679
except that's not true
even that same allstars + world bundle came in english only. theres one on ebay right now

>>4406679
This pisses me off too. But I never saw it back in the SNES days, except when I was in Canada. Today, you can buy games in the USA that have that shit. It is aesthetically displeasing.

>>4406660
t. NES cartridges riddled with drawings of penises

Yes I do own the funny cheapo model

Yankees had such an ugly design.

>>4407124
We did. Always wanted those rainbow buttons.

>>4407126
this isn't a gore thread.

>>4407141
I've gotta get those (you)'s some way or another though.
Also have these if that calms your autism

None of your photos count because you're not showing off your copies of the game for true SNES aficionados.

>>4406374
I think mine is defective, it looks funny.

Is it okay to have a sense of humor in this thread?

>>4406374
I've since put my SNES and everything else in the original box while waiting for the Super NT, but this is the last picture I took. It's nice to be clutter free.
>>4406386
what's the point of putting a sega saturn action replay in a SNES? Are you Mark from Classic Game Room?

Is learning JAP worth it to play RPG's like Pokemon and Final Fantasy? I already know hiragana and katakana and have a small vocab.

>>4410553
You won't make it.

>>4406445
>it's a euro has to bring up Americans out of his inferiority complex post
Lmao

At least use snes9x or literally anything other than zsnes if you're going to be an emulation fag

>>4406384
Especially back then. Importing shipping fees were astronomical.

I left my original SNES at my cousins which sat next to a window and heating/air vents, so it is really piss-yellow. My original Super Famicom was there too, but I at least took it away before it is too yellow (lower right). I almost exclusively play SNES games on the Super Retro Trio (center) now, since I could only afford a Chinese SD2SNES.

>>4409393
>super NT
>flashcarts
WOW

At work now, only pictures I have are from when I took my SNES apart to give it a complete cleaning last year. Decades of dust and crud had to finally go.

>>4406642
>not leaving stickers and decals from your childhood on your consoles
Heresy.

>>4410616
I wouldn't take it for granted that the super NT will get rom-loading capabilities just yet.
Implementing a whole 'nother processor (e.g SA-1) just for some ROMs for example in his free time is a little more work than NES mappers. Especially considering that Kevtris had worked on most of his NES stuff over quite a few years already.
I can also see Analogue being against another core store altogether considering there's money to be made with other 16 bit console implementations.
Anyways, even if he'll do it it's not like you can't throw it on ebay and sell it back for most of what you paid.

>>4410629
Good as new!

>>4410637
I just realized the controller ports bezel isn't installed. I had left it out to try and "retrobrite" it, since it was somehow the only piece that yellowed in 25 years.

I wish I had taken a before picture. It was so fucking dirty.

>>4406679
>tfw every 3ds box art is ruined by a huge french label

I hate the french

>>4410651
They're one of those folks who think their own language is so great, many of them simply refuse to learn proper english or at least try to communicate in basic english when someone obviously doesn't understand their language.
At least that's how it is with european french-fags...

>>4409327
>Is it okay to have a sense of humor in this thread?
Yes, it's fine.

Do feel free to share some in the future.

>>4412324
The French are NOTHING compared to the fucking Welsh m8
