OVERVIEW:
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System console bundle includes the 16-bit retro console, two wired controllers, power supply, and Super Mario World game cartridge for nostalgic, classic 2D platforming gameplay.
Super Nintendo (SNES) System:
Super System: First brought to Europe in 1992, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System blew gamers away with visuals and gameplay that dragged videogames into a spectacular new era. The Super Nintendo features true stereo sound, multiple scrolling backgrounds, and twice the built-in memory of the older NES - and giant-sized Game Paks allow the system to recreate sprawling worlds that take weeks to explore.
Graphics Power: The Super Nintendo's built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processor) performs complicated calculations on in-game images in the blink of an eye. This is responsible for 'Mode 7', the ability to take hefty 2D shapes and twist and spin them through three dimensions - allowing games like Super Mario Kart to create pseudo-3D tracks. In the face-flappingly fast F-Zero, this is done at speeds that made even the bravest gamer tremble.
Controller: Building on the seminal design of the NES controller, Nintendo set the standard for future videogame controllers with the faultless Super Nintendo Controller. The comfortable directional pad returns, but two extra buttons and the appearance of twin shoulder buttons - a videogame first - effectively double the gamer's control.
Super FX: Game Paks containing the Super FX chip - including dazzling debut title Star Wing - brought proper polygons blasting to TV screens in jaw-dropping style. Later games like Yoshi's Island used the next-generation Super FX 2 chip to warp and bend shapes in the most eye-pleasing of manners.
Super Mario World:
Mario and Luigi’s first Super NES escapade took them into a new land with new characters, new abilities and much more, becoming an all-time best-seller. In Super Mario World, the Mario brothers come to Dinosaur Land, meet their new lovable companion Yoshi and do battle with Bowser and his minions across dozens of fiendishly designed levels packed with secrets. As well as riding Yoshi and slurping up enemies, you can also take to the skies with the aid of the new Cape Feather and soar into a world of adventure!
