Super Nintendo SNES console

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (commonly abbreviated Super NES, SNES or Super Nintendo), or Super Famicom in Japan, is a video game console from the Japanese manufacturer Nintendo marketed from November 1990. In North America, the console was released with a decidedly different look. Note that in South Korea, the Super Nintendo is distributed by Hyundai Electronics under the name Super Comboy.

In 1997 and 1998, Nintendo decided to refresh the design by releasing the SNS-101 model, sometimes called Super NES 2 in the United States, and the Super Famicom Jr. in Japan.
