     @coolboymew ....but real talk, the Famicom really was way nicer-looking. The American SNES also looked way better than the lame SNES we got in Europe.

     @coolboymew Yeah, it's really nice and clean, and adding a bit of purple to all the light grey was an inspired choice.

     @coolboymew The American NES was made *not* to look like a console video game system. They wanted families to think of it more as a VCR-like appliance than a "video game".

     @coolboymew I dunno, that's the one we had in Europe too, right? That sudden splat of different colors always felt off to me, made the buttons look like fucking M&M's. The more restrained American approach worked better. Multicolored buttons also worked better for the GameCube, despite me in general disliking the GameCube's design.

     @Economic_Hitman @coolboymew Yeah, it just looks lame and basic af to me. I was seriously blown away by just how much cooler (and futuristic!) the N64 looked when finally laying my eyes on that thing.

     @coolboymew @Economic_Hitman Yeah, that's WAY better than the European one. It annoys me that the NSO SNES icon is regionally adjusted, because I'd much rather have that console as its icon.

     @coolboymew @ChristiJunior @Economic_Hitman I miss my OG model SNES. Sucks it was a SHVC_CPU_01 board so the CPU died after 26 years of service.
     
     I need to play my Super NT more often. I got have way through a playthrough of the french ROM of terranigma but stopped for some reason.

     @ooignignoktoo @ChristiJunior @Economic_Hitman I need to bother unboxing my Superpak or whatever the flashcart is called and actually play cool shit on it
     
     There's apparently a new Super Metroid hack that's amazing

     Flash carts are the way to go nowadays on OG hardware. I'm trying to convince my brother to let me borrow his NES so I can clear shell mod it with LEDs and try to get a blinking light win mod.

     @ooignignoktoo @coolboymew @ChristiJunior @Economic_Hitman despite nintendo’s litigiousness, I was able to purchase a knock-off SNES on amazog that came with both the original TV ports and HDMI.

     plays SNES games from any country, too. dunno if there are any edge case games that’ll fail though.

     I know that Wario's Woods was the last NES game to be commercially released but I still think the swan song with the NES was Kirby's Adventure. Star Tropics II was good as well but it did not have the same level of mainstream success that Kirby's Adventure did.

     StarTropics got a bit more mainstream now it's on the NES mini consoles. I grew up playing the first game a lot more than the 2nd though I ended up playing and beating the 2nd one through an emulator. While the controls are improved I liked the first game more.

     Screw mainstream. I pity the fools not knowing about Startropics.

     When I was a kid, I had to choose between Final Fantasy or Startropics as thebdirst game I ever bought myself. Chose Startropics and nevwr regreted it.
