The 16-bit Super Nintendo looked amazing when it first came out, the "Mode 7" (3D scaling) effects blew me away!  The way Super Mario World has that cool pixel fade in effect, to the 3Dscaling effects in Politwings.  Plus the music was really incredible in games like ActRaiser and Super R Tpye. I was sold on this new Nintendo.  If there's any downside it's the systems overall speed (Almost half less than the Sega Genesis and TurboGrafx-16) and weak sports lineup compared to the Genesis (I'm not a gamesports fan anyway so I don't care).

If this system is remembered for one thing, it's that the SNES paved the way for more great RPG's to be more widespread. RPG games like Final Fantasy II, FFIII, EarthBound, Super Mario RPG, and Chrono Trigger were not huge hits but do recieve a good cult following. Nintendo also released a more compact and much lighter Super Nintendo in 1996, it's the same as the old one but now there no pointless serial ports and no eject button either (also pointless anyways). "This system is one of my all time favorites with over 500games available!"

COOL SNES TOYS
Super GameBoy
Plays most of the older GameBoy titles but not the more newer GameBoy Color only games and 32-bit Advance games. The 4shades of colour can be edited and the game borders and be altered too if you like. A nice item to have around.

SNES Contoller
The SNES Controller fits well in the hand and the 8buttons are very useful.
