So what is all this noise about the SNES?
Nintendo's iconic console, the Super Nintendo entertainment system, to be exact, was released in the early 90s to succeed the NES. By upgrading the NES's 8-bit hardware, the new 16-bit console could contain much more information for more vivid and ambitious gaming experiences.
That may seem trivial compared to the average open-world game today, but hey, there are real classics on this console, like Super Metroid, Star Fox, and Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past.
Nintendo has released a series of mini consoles, the NES Classic Edition and the SNES Classic Mini, for playing retro NES and SNES games on dedicated hardware, which sold out quickly.
Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can also read various emulated NES titles on Nintendo Switch. Fans eagerly await the arrival of SNES games, missing the GameCube and N64 titles. We expect this to happen before the start of 2020, but it's good to know when to expect it.
