I can't. It's the best console ever made.

us snes much uglier than europe and japan

>>5759025
nah, both are beautiful.

The North America console and cartridge design, the US exclusive made games, censorship, and awfully never aged well localized translations.

Cannot display more than two enemies on screen at a time. Slowdown in a lot of faster action games and shmups.

>>5759040
This. Either because of the weak ass CPU or other limitation, it's a challenge to find any beat'em up with more than 3 simultaneous enemies or space shooters that don't slow down to a crawl with lots of enemies/bullets.

>>5759013
Most of the first party games were uglier than their NES counterparts. Except Metroid.

>>5759013

>>5759013
no games.

Purple.
It doesn't scream "cool" or "super" and is inferior to red as a powerful color.

The purple buttons are classy as fuck, you tasteless swine.

If people were honest with themselves they'd just buy a super Nintendo

>>5759013
Poor chemical mixture in the plastic which makes it prone to yellowing. Otherwise perfect.

>>5759123
They fixed that in later revisions. My SNES never yellowed.

>>5759013
overly compressed audio, sounds like it’s underwater

slowdowns

us market hardware is ugly

>>5759013
It's a console made by Nintendo.
Only Nintendildos could like it.

>>5759129
Well I don't have a later revision, so that didn't help me.

>>5759013
k.

-only 16bit component is the cpu, rest is 8bit throughout
-cpu is slow as shit, resulting in slow games
-memory bus too slow
-sound chip sucks donkey balls
-controller isnt ergonomic in the slightest, or made for longer gaming sessions
-sub standard resolution for 1991
-annoying blur filter to cope
-and the usa case is exceptionally ugly

I think thats all for the moment.

>>5759017

>sega widows on suicide watch
lol at these retards

>>5759106
Only black people and cock suckers like purple.

>>5759283
Only people insecure in their heterosexuality hate the purple.

were fine

cope SNES

Why do faggots make threads begging people to shit on things

>>5759013
The resolution could have been better, but Im nitpicking.

>>5759032
The cartridges in NA had end labels. Checkmate atheists

>>5759013
A 8-Bit data bus resulting in a slow CPU.
>In before the 65816 is a more efficient chip then the 68000 hence why it's clocked slower.
No BC.
Features that were supposed to be built in at launch out of the box are restricted to expansion chips.

>>5759130
>sounds like it’s underwater
This is one of the best things about it.

>>5759013
Jitter. Have to hunt down a 1-chip.

>>5759013
I can't rest my drink on it.

>>5759013
They don't develop games for it anymore.

>>5759013
The only flaw is the concave buttons.

>>5759013
No black people in the games

Genesis controller was way more comfortable to hold. SNES had more buttons, but a Genesis controller with shoulder buttons would have easily been the best controller of the generation

>>5759013
unaesthetic controller
cheap plastic console
grey not black
uses cartridges

the japanese version looked way cooler

If you know how to mod, making a super famicom switchless creates the best version of the SNES, period.

>>5759942
>sticker covering the screen
what the fuck man

>>5759013
No blast processing.

>>5759935
>uses cartridges
How is this a flaw? literally means instant access and no loading times.
>but muh redbook audio and FMVs!
Yeah, whatever.

>>5759919
Snes controller didn't only have more buttons, they were better aligned too. They were aligned in a way that you can press two buttons without having to move your thumb making it more comfortable to play games, specially action games. On the Genesis you have to constantly move your thumb in order to press different buttons, not a good design.

>>5759035
And succeeding. It is hideous. It's as bad as the TurboGrafx. No - it's actually worse. Why do you do that? Why do you take great looking machines and turn them into monstrosities? Find me one sane person who prefers the CDX and X'Eye over the original Wondermega. I bet you were crying when you saw those pieces of shit. Hey, probably not, if the above are anything to go by, but I know the rest of the world was. You have no taste.

>On the Genesis you have to constantly move your thumb in order to press different buttons, not a good design.
You have to move your thumb just as much with a SNES controller if you want to use a 3rd or 4th button.

>>5760937
Complete and utter bullshit. I press two buttons with one thumb on my MEGA DRIVE pads all the time. And pressing X+B and A+Y on a SNES pad is akin to advanced finger acrobatics. Speaking of the snes pad, playing for longer hours constantly gave me blisters on both index fingers. Some of you guys really need to take of your ninty tinted glasses once in a while.

Unless we're talking about fighting games, games rarely require the use of three or more buttons in a short period of time. Usually it's just 2 buttons used simultaneously and then a third or fourth button for a side function that's not used as often. It's undeniable that the Snes controller delivers a better experience in most cases.

>>5759027
SFC - sleek, sexy, futuristic
SNES - big box of WHY

>>5761302
Pressing two buttons at the same time on the Genesis controller is awkward at best, not suitable for action games.

>And pressing X+B and A+Y on a SNES pad is akin to advanced finger acrobatics

Name a single game that requires these combinations to be pressed at the same time.

I actually am interested in knowing how you got blisters in your index fingers considering they're just used for the triggers, so not very often. Also the Genesis dpad hurts my thumb when I'm playing Street Fighter, it's a bit too stiff for special moves.

>>5759013
Didn't have a fast processor. So everything on the system looks cool, but runs soooo slow.

>>5761310

Dude. Get your snes pad out. And then get your 6 button fighting pad MD/GEN out. And then take a cold hard look at both designs.
That experience alone might make your reality distortion field dissolve for a while. Be sure to report back what your experience was like...

>>5761349
>IT'S BETTER I SWEAR JUST LOOK AT IT :(

Your nostalgia isn't an argument.

>>5761339

What else would you play on a super nintendo?

>>5761357

Hopeless case of severe idiocy :(

Psychological projection can be fascinating at times.

- Its US case design.
- Its inferior version of the first Mortal Kombat.
- Its inferior version of Aladdin (Capcom is overrated).
- Squaresoft RPGs are overrated. Besides Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG, these games were snoozefests.
- Star Fox is extremely overrated. It might have been graphically impressive if you never saw a PC or arcade game from that era but it's little more than a tech demo.
- The visuals for Super Mario All-Stars aged like ass.
- No one cares about Killer Instinct.
- Donkey Kong Country has aged and feels slow. This was the game that finally gave Nintendo the marketable edge over SEGA but it's dreadful today.

I would say the framerate drop in certain games but that is hindsight talking.

Oh and there was no USA release of Terranigma because Enix was scared of pissing off Bible-thumpers so you could only play it if you got a UK console and UK copy or used emulation.

For everyone shitting all over the SNES, what system or computer did you prefer at the time? Genuinely curious.

Some of the best games ever made came out on the SNES.
