Buying us one. This is crazy. They have no excuse. I don't think they knew anything bout console gens back then. I think they were still buying us NES games.

A lot of people were mad about the Super Nintendo when it came out, and thought Nintendo was just ripping people off. The concept of console gens hadn't really been established yet.

"You already HAVE a Nintendo! Now you need to buy another one??"

No fucking way. Either this is the worst mandela effect ever or that shit was $199.99, just like the NES was in the 80s. Basically every mainstream console was $199.99 until PS1.

The NES was released in several retail bundles throughout its commercial life. For its 1985 American test launch, the initial offering was the Deluxe Set, which retailed for US$179.99 (equivalent to $530 in 2024) and included the Control Deck, two controllers, the NES Zapper light gun, the R.O.B. robotic accessory, and two Game Paks: Gyromite and Duck Hunt.[5] Ahead of the console's nationwide launch in 1986, Nintendo introduced a basic Control Deck set with two controllers, bundled with Super Mario Bros. for US$99.99 (equivalent to $280 in 2024).[93][94]

Most people bought the basic $99.99 one. Lol that the expensive one didn't even come with SMB so you had to shell out for that too.

The SNES was released under HW Bush in September 1991, a time of deep economic uncertainty and a recession that led directly to Bill Clinton's election. It was Bush who signed NAFTA.

I still remember seeing a kid with an SNES and Genesis, playing Mortal Kombat II on each system side by side. It was a fucking Joke - the SNES version was basically arcade perfect, while the Genesis version was.... well... very "Genesis-y"

I wont even get started on the comparison of Street Fighter II

The Genesis version has less input lag imo, and the badass soundtrack is superior to arcade. 32X version is even better with larger sprites. The perfect version.

TITCR.

Chrono Trigger was the last game I ever bought.

All the later systems were too gimmicky with all the 'cinematic' crap.

I'm in the xennial subgen.

I think we all have an affinity to what we grew up with. My childhood was one of preftigious Nintendo games with characters marching in place on a world map.
