half asian chicks are hot

Aesthetic.

US SNES controllers > JPN SFC controllers with short cable length.

US SNES console < JPN SFC console. US version looks like two cake pans glued together. We missed out.

>>5366019
not a big fan of the american colour scheme

>>5366021

I wish there were convex buttons in purple so I could make the best feeling and looking controller. Basically a us controller minus concave buttons.

SFC is definitely the most A E S T H E T I C.

Compromise.

>>5366028

They didn't make it a flat top because Americans are so stupid they would have put food and drinks on it like they did with the nes.

>>5366040
I'll never understand people who think the SFC looks good. It's like a featureless blob of slightly melted plastic. The SNES may not be the prettiest console in the world but at least it has some kind of character.

>>5366040
>US SNES controllers > JPN SFC controllers
the snes controller is worse purely on the basis of the concave buttons

>>5366330
Who gives a damn when sfc controllers are too fucking short anyways?
Wouldn't u rather be able to chill way back on the bed / couch

>>5366340
Get PAL ones then.

>>5366081
>>5366090
Gross...
I literally want the inverse, NA SNES form with international button colors

>>5366318
But the American SNES does have a flat top surface. It's the SFC and PAL version with the round top.

>>5366318
You're thinking of the N64. Nice try though.

>US SNES-controller can't be used with PAL-control-decks
Care to explain?

Both are aesthetic as fuck in their own way.

>>5370583
Agreed.
I'm digging the SFC clover logo with the US SNES purple scheme in OP's pic.
Someone should make a RBYG version of the US SNES logo.

Can you chance the snes usa motherboard with the pal case?

PAL native here.
As less-attractive as the NTSC SNES is, at least the cartridges have end labels.

>>5372708

Not without modding the motherboard. There is a piece of plastic on it where the AC adaptor goes. That piece is different on both and won't fit on the other without some mod work.

You sure? I don't have a PAL SNES on hand right now to check, but the back panels look like they're the same size and shape. If they are, you should be able to swap the rest of the shell
If they're not the same shape though... yeah, it would take a time-consuming mod. Replacing a SNES power jack requires replacing or heavily modifying the back panel, because the original jack is molded into the plastic itself. You have to replace the entire panel if you want to keep the original style jack, and you have to carefully cut the original jack and remove all of the surrounding plastic to replace it with a different jack. I did two this weekend and it's not hard, but it's very tedious and time-consuming.
Of course the reset button and front panels are also different, so you might need to make few modifications to those areas too...
Maybe I should get another PAL SNES and try this. It sounds fun.

AESTHETIC

>>5366019
test

PAL SNES controller and NA console is peak aesthetic.

Man, when are they gonna make an snes 2?

>>5375919
In 1994. Except for some reason they decided to call it "PlayStation" instead.

>>5366340
m8 you can swap the insides out if you like the japanese aesthetic that much

>>5375919
In 1997; see the Super Famicom Jr. >>5370682

>>5376223
Or even just the cord. They're easily removable and swappable.

SFC controller prophesied by based Masayoshi Takanaka (or whoever painted that guitar) in 1982.

>>5374024
What an weird bowling ball, lmao

The concave buttons were my favorite because they were like Smarties

OP here. Wow, a lot more intelligent discussion than I was expecting lol.

Personally I’m a big fan of the North American console and controller, the blocky system, the concave buttons, the purple, though I also really like the sleek and colorful design of the Japanese/pal system.
Both look great, but very different, can’t really choose a favorite.

>>5377989
Same here.
The US SNES is pretty underrated as of late. Very nice aesthetics all around, the purple/light purple color scheme is really tasteful.
In a way, it reminds me of Freeza.

>>5378013
...but the grey turned an ugly greenish color after a while, Anon. Actually, does anyone know exactly why that happened?

>>5378159
Piccolo

>>5378159
Do you live underwater anon?

>>5378159
You mean like pic related? This was a common problem among old consoles and PCs, including ALL regions of the snes. It’s the result of a chemical reaction caused by sunlight and the boron used in cheap plastic from the 80s and 90s.
Get a big plastic tub, fill it with water and hydrogen peroxide, take apart the snes, clean the plastic, drop the plastic in the tub, seal the tub, and let it sit in direct sunlight for about a day or so. Should look as good as new afterwards.

>>5378373
Yeah. I guess I meant yellow not green.

>>5378159

The flame retardant additive in the plastic is a boron compound. Over the years through oxidation (sunlight helps) it breaks down which causes the color.

>>5376447
>this again
it's literally just the primary colors plus the most common secondary color

>>5378373
This makes the plastic way more brittle, would you rather have a yellow shell or a broken one?

>>5378941
The yellowing itself is what embrittles the plastic.

>>5378939
>this again
Enlighten me, please.

>>5366330
Concave buttons are great though

>>5378939
Still kind of a big coincidence that the position of the colors are the same as on the SFC's logo and controller.

>>5378959
>>5378941
This.
That’s why you should always do the hydrogen peroxide treatment on yellow plastic , even if you’re going to spray paint the thing.
