It was ultimately Nintendo of America's decision. They noticed people were stacking shit including drinks on the NES because they're fucking stupid, so they gave the SNES a more jagged rectangular design. I promise you, people still tried to put shit on them.

I agree that the original is more elegant but I don't really like it all that much. The US one looks clumsier but also cooler (I think). It really does look like a tank. It looks like a machine that would do something cool. The Japanese one looks like a clean little gadget that isn't really inspiring in any particular direction.

I think that the Famicom, NES, and Super Nintendo designs all have more character than the Super Famicom's does.

[Anonymous No.6641504]

>>6641493
I actually wonder why they changed the design from the famicom to the American NES. The Famicom looked way more like a toy, and apparently that's what they were going for.

[Anonymous No.6641525]

>>6641504
They were just coming off the video game crash of 1983 and needed to make it look like anything but a video game console so dumb burgers would buy it. That's why it's more like VCR both in appearance and in being a front loader instead of top loading like an Atari. You'll also notice nowhere does it say it's a game console- it's an "Entertainment System". I recommend Yahtzee's video covering ET if you want to learn more.

Lies. The SNES in complete was redesigned by Nintedo America. The controller for example has concave and convex buttons because they found out it would help player to sense when they were pressing X+Y or A+B without looking at the pad.

I don't get it though, what about it is so bad? Can you give any insight? It looks fine to me, I also like the SFC design too.

[Anonymous No.6642248]

>>6642023

more than being ugly, the only good thing about the american snes is the bigger tray to fit all region cartridges and getting rid of the cartridge lock.
But the power jack in the back absolute blows and breaks easily, to the point is the most common thing to fix when buying a SNES. The sfc power jack is much sturdier. In fact i changed mine to a SFC one.
The reset button also fails a lot because they added a spring that works with a slide switch rather than a push-in switch, and since the plastic pieces inside are very fragile it breaks a lot. The reset in the SFC is much better and i have never seen one with that kind of failure in comparison with the SNES one.

[Anonymous No.6642296]

>>6642206
It just doesn't look very good. The massive contrast of the purple buttons with the white makes it much worse. I'm not sure what you don't get. In the end it's subjective.

>In the end it's subjective.
Ah, yeah I agree it's subjective then, because I actually think the light grey with the purple looks pretty good.
I also like the buttons on the controlelr having different shades of purple for Y and X, and for B and A.
It kind of looks like the color scheme of the Yotsuba B theme here on 4chan.

Bulky also, purple. Why the fuck did they use that color. Colored buttons are better too.

[Anonymous No.6642354]

Wrong.
The rounded top of the Super Famicom was designed to prevent people from sitting drinks on it.

>Bulky
It's about the same size as the SFC though, as you can see in the pic posted above with both of them side to side. It isn't like the case of the Famicom and NES. Maybe you mean it's more angular? But that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I like both kind of buttons to be honest. The colored ones have a lot of soul, but the purple buttons are more classy IMO. I also like the concave and convex difference.
I really like both designs, which is why I own both.

The US version is really bland. It looks cheap and plasticy and has an unfinished prototype vibe to it thanks to the anemic colour scheme and blocky ashetics. A weak effort all round, really.

It's almost like they tried to replicate the futuristic 70s look of the NES2/AV Famicom and gave up early on.

In saying that though you can mod it into a universal NTSC machine which is a big plus. I don't hate the US version, but let's be honest, it's never going to win any design awards.

What's really weird is that while there's always a few anons trying to put the US SNES into a bad light and stuff, nobody ever seems to comment on how ridiculous the change from Famicom to NES was.
SFC to SNES doesn't even seems like a big deal. Same size, different aesthetic.
Famicom to NES was wild. The thing is double the size of the Famicom, maybe even more, and the design is wildly different, more so than the differences between SFC and US SNES.
Maybe it's because Euros also got the US NES model, so they don't mind it.

I like the U.S. one better. The Japanese is boring. The U.S. one isn't exactly some master design but we're talking about the design of a machine that plays video games. Most of the time it doesn't matter because you're not even looking at it, you're looking at the game.

For that matter, why call the Megadrive the Genesis? You think Megadrive doesn't sound cool? Were they trying to appeal to the Christian market?

Why did europeans change the super nintendo standard? Everywhere else in the world they used NTSC. The original design is much more sleek and cool IMO

[Anonymous No.6656201]

No repair thread so I'm gonna post here:
My SNES doesn't work anymore - I have an official power supply. The power light comes on. It doesn't matter which game I try and I know the TV and its ports work.
There is no sound or video. I opened the console and the only possible worry I can see is a bit of blue corrosion under the long silver port where the game plugs in. I have a DMM - Where should I start?

North American electrical frequency is 60hz so television signals were based on that out of convenience. NTSC was a rather impressive way of adding color to TV broadcasts without increasing bandwidth and also while maintaining backwards compatibility with b&w TV sets. PAL came much later and has its own issues.

[Anonymous No.6656294]

>>6654493
I had a tv that did it. Like I said before the imports used to be black and white before the changeover. I had a sharp TV that would output color.

Imagine being so stupid that you think the entire country is the west coast, specifically Nintendo employees in this case. You people are the dumbest posters on this website.

[Anonymous No.6656901]

Very simple reason actually. To mimick the style of Western computers and give the illusion the Super Nintendo was powerful and more akin to a PC rather than a toy or home video system. Light blues and purples used to be business friendly colors, more mature, more technological, more sophisticated, etc. The Super Nintendo was to be portrayed more so as a technological innovation rather than a video game console.

If you saw a BW image on the screen your TV wasn't PAL, maybe PAL-M but definetly not europe PAL.

Like? Games running "slower" it's not an argument.

>no color error

Nothing wrong with NTSC though

[Anonymous No.6657000]

It goes a lot beyond games. Movies shot at 24fps could get by with 3:2 pulldown in NTSC. PAL just ran the films faster, which is a more destructive alternative.

[Anonymous No.6657023]

>>6656913
It couldn't have been pal-m because I was in Europe. It was a panasonic tv that used to play import ps1 games in black and white. When I switched to a sharp tv a few years later they were in color. I was not alone also plenty of friends had the same issues until it was rectified.

[Anonymous No.6657046]

>>6657000
Wrong. It's actually way easier to convert to PAL, 25fps(50hz/2) instead of 24, literaly 1 frame faster, 1/24=4% faster. The audio can be pitch corrected.

NTSC conversion relies on gimmicks

[Anonymous No.6657087]

>>6657046
>1 frame faster
I don't think you understand just how significant that is. I'll take a blended frame that the human eye will barely notice over running a movie in fast forward.

[Anonymous No.6657196]

Dude, you can't even notice. Did you ever watched a 1.25x video on youtube? after a bit of time you just get used to it. It's like saying PAL games are slower, which they are, but we are just used to it.

PAL as a standard is more jumbled up than a brittish smile. Complain all you like about a stupid box but then you shart up the gameplay and framerate.

I never liked the American version. Which is why I bought the Super Famicom version. I like to keep things simple and buy 1 version of every console. I did the same with the Sega Genesis, only buying the model 1 and avoiding the model 2. Then of course there's the Sega Saturn, I own the white Japanese one.
