5 reasons why Super Nintendo is awesome



Super Nintendo is one of my favourite consoles of all times and one of the best on 16 bit era. In 1992, Nintendo brought the console on June 6th 1992 in UK to complete with their rivals SEGA who already made their first 16 bit console called SEGA Genesis which released on November 30th 1990 became a competitors of SNES. It considered to be a one of the Nintendo's masterpiece console ever made that Nintendo dominates the 16 bit era of the marketing sales and exclusive games. It's sold about almost 50 million unit in fourth generations consoles with tons of awesome games around. I'm now to give a 5 reasons why Super Nintendo is awesome and why I like it.


1. Games library



You get a wonderful choice of classics games here. SNES has a best games around in 16 bit era such as Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Starfox, Donkey Kong Country, Megaman X, Killer Instinct, Final Fantasy 6, Legend of Zelda and more. I have had a wonderful gaming experiences since I was a child in 90's. I played about 3 and half hours in day, when I can't stop playing a lot of the awesome games.


2. SNES Controller

















I got a love this controller. SNES controller is one of the most unique controller which is comfortable to hold and it has a cool design looking controller. The layouts has 4 way d-pad with 4 colorful buttons on front and 2 shoulders triggers on top which is good for most of the fighting games such as Street Fighter 2, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Killer Instinct which requires 6 buttons for the part of the gameplay to make it playable for the games. It's much easier than the SEGA Genesis controller which has a bulky design with big buttons is harder for most of the SEGA Genesis games unless you have to use a 6 way Genesis controller instead. SNES controller is in perfect shape with small layout makes a better controller makes a better gameplay experiences. So it's frigging kick ass.


3. Console design



                               



















I own a SNES as a UK console models. The UK models has a same design as a Japanese models while US models has a different design. The UK models looks better with better layouts and slick looking design. The US models has a kiddish design that looks like the brick. So the US model is look damn pretty good for hardcore Nintendo fans in US but The UK models is look nostalgic as ever.


4. SNES Accessories








































Nintendo has a offers for fans to bring a coolest peripherals for SNES. Super Scope 6 is useful for most of the shooting games genres. The muiltitap can be handful for playing the games that has a 3 or 4 players like Super Bomberman, Secret of Mana and Micro Machines would be friggin epic. SNES Mouse is very cool for the game like Mario Paint and Cannon Fodder. Super Game Boy lets you play any Game Boy games right on your TV which is cool thing. Nintendo made a awesome accessories for 16 bit era.


5. Impressive Graphics Engine




























SNES has a best 16 bit graphics in fourth generations and how does that work?

Nintendo wanted to make a console that can able to run some graphics engines such as mode 7 which allows background layer to be rotated and scaled on scanline basis. Mode 7 is used for most of the games like F-Zero, Super Mario Kart, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger and Super Castlevania 4.
Super FX is a enhancement chip that runs with 32 bit processor which allows to add 3D polygons is used for some games like Starfox. It also include the 2 of the games like Doom and Yoshi's Island runs with Super FX 2. I say the graphics look better on Mode 7 with colorful details and better animation while Super FX doesn't look so bad on Starfox but slightly much better than the SEGA's racing games Virtua Racing on 32X. Graphics aren't everything, It's about the gameplay as matter the most important thing in the gaming.
