Welcome back to the Gamer! Today, we are taking a look at the iconic Super Nintendo and 10 things you didn’t know your SNES could do.
Let’s start off with the Nintendo system itself. Has yours ever changed color over the years? Well if it has, you could be one of the very lucky few who own one of the earliest production models.
Next, we take a look at the peripherals. We all know about the bazookas and the pistols, but the ingenuity didn’t end there! Nope, there were tons of different things you could buy. Often times, the special controllers were a part of bundle deals, so if you didn’t know about them then, you probably won’t know about them today.
How about this: did you know that the Super Nintendo could accommodate more than 2 players? We didn’t either. And there are some games to support these large amounts of players. So far, we know of a way to have 5 gamers playing simultaneously and the games you can play together. Toward the end, we’ll give you all the information you need to pick these items up.
Lastly, did you know that your Super Nintendo is capable of playing online multiplayer and downloading additional games, maps, and music? Yep, Nintendo was among the first studios to bring their consoles online. Only trouble is, they didn’t bring it to America, so you probably haven’t heard about it.

Under aged kids shouldn't make videos about retro consoles. This video is just pointless every one from super nintendo era know these "Things You Never Knew".
ceptabil Well I was underage until like six months ago but I still knew about actually all of these "facts" since like 8 years ago. It isn't about age, it's about making a "things you didn't know" video while being a complete ignorant of the subject yourself. It's like trying to make your final presentation right after getting inside your university for the first time
Dude why do you make these list like you just discovered the system? Seriously, "did you know it had a mouse?" It's like you just slapped the list together from stuff you did a quick Wikipedia search from.
My guess is that they probably really did.
They act like most of these ( except for the design...which they're probably wrong about...and the Japan exclusive Satellaview ) were industry secret devices, that WEREN'T heavily advertised, either by the company, or the 3rd party creators. You didn't even have to read magazines, or anything. Just turn on the TV to Nickelodeon or whatever other channels, and you'd see these things EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. commercial break.
They just read some news about the super nintendo then Google some facts then made a video who the hell feels lucky there nintendo went yellow ??? Lol retards and clean gray ones are worth more
The fucking multitap, scope and mouse are huge secrets apparently!?? pmsl
evry console had some sort of "superscope" every console back in the day even the NES had a multitap... MOST systems even had a mouse of some sort... WTF is this list
Dude, but you could play golf!...
"Ten peripherals for your SNES you probably already know about"
"10 things I'm not quite old enough to remember first hand."
Mirrorz Bro! Seriously. I was like, “You know people were around and most of us HAD that stuff or at lease a friend that did. If not, most of us had access to game magazines that we would ALL flip through at the grocery store.”
Gettin' real tired of period opinion videos on retro stuff years before they were born. Yes, your wikipedia research gave you great insight.
Seriously. I had one of the first SNES systems. Even though we lived in a VERY rural area at the time with only 5 channels on the television, we knew about all of this stuff.
better call this video: 10 SNES accessories...
More accurately, "10 SNES accessories you never knew existed, unless you're older than 25, in which you remember them vividly."
i'm not older than 25 and i do remember some of these...
I'm not sure that yellowing or design choices can be considered accessories.
Is this youtube creator mocking us or what? He can't stop using that disgusting most useless yellow pointer.
giuggiolino but its a lil bit strong word.
This is awful, derivative content.
I love how they hearted this comment
@@TheRealJochen he knows what he did.
Doesn't even sound like the author would've even been a twinkle in his dad's eye when the SNES was out.
It turns yellow, it has a mouse and a multi tap.... wow how have I lived till now? I dont know if this is a troll video or if hes genuinely amazed by these widely known facts. I'm guessing if you jingle your car keys in his face he giggles and claps his hands wildly while kicking his feet
on 1.5 it's still slow...
Dude they don't show the like to dislike ratio. That is one of the most sketchy things I've seen.
Did you also know that 2+2 is 4 and Zelda is the girl, not the guy you play as?
Well not if you’re playing on the 3DO.
Markuskhan I like Zelda he a nice guy and doesn't afraid of anything.
Markuskhan 2+2 isn't 4, that's 2x2, stupid
2x2 and 2+2 get the same answer: 4
D Sandoval i cant figure out if thats a joke or not...
“9 things literally everyone who has owned a SNES already knows and 1 thing no one cares about.” There, I fixed your title for you. You owe me 13 minutes of my life back.
you forgot that the mouse is "stupid and cute in a bad way" apparently! oh and being yellow is a feature.
Yeah i speeded up the video every minute
Seriously.
*12 minutes and 58 seconds
Lasted 2 Min. What a dud
10 things your SNES can do: 1. „it can be yellow“ 😂
revolutionary technology nintendo
His is not only yellow, it looks like hes been shitting on and in it for years.
@@maggs131 it looks like he spilled curry on the console
Same on Wii and Wii U white
If I ever meet Paul Rudd I'm going to go: "Oh my God, are you Paul Rudd from those Super Nintendo commercials?"
Sorry, but this video feels like you were reading a Wikipedia entry on SNES peripherals, then stole a bunch of clips from other channels.
Zach Becker isn't that the norm for half ass wanna be hacks like this.
It's so damn frustrating too. This channel has 1.5m subscribers when there are good original content creators out there who barely get noticed.
That's exactly what he did.
Yo I didnt know the snes had a Y button! Thanks thumbnail!
Pettyyyy 😂
OMG WHAT IS A Y
I thought it was a z button
Y see what you did there.
Hopping Hat literally the only thing I wanted to hear about.
Someone born fifteen years after the SNES was released trying to teach me about the SNES. just stop, please.
“10 things that every SNES owner knows about the SNES”
wish I'd read this before wasting 7 minutes of my ever expending life.
YES
Lol
I didn't know the coaster one :(
P E R I P H E R A L S
Worth watching TheGamer, just to laugh at their pure ignorance of gaming. XD
it makes me sick xD
Guru Larry? Yes these videos are such garbage!!! They really just put a bunch of words together and mention a console or game and find someone else footage and POOF, there done! "Who knew there was an adapter for anything". Please make a fact hunt on "5 channels that produce garage with laughably high dislike/like ratios"
I know! This channel is ridiculous. Is everyone who writes for it and the announcer 20 years old? There's no way anyone who signed off on this stuff actually played or owned any of these games when they were new.
Larry Bundy Jr it feels like this is a channel made from parents that just got into gaming or grandparents that call everything a Nintendo.
All you need to do to garner half a million subscribers apparently is make a whole bunch of "list" videos containing blindingly obvious "facts" that anybody at all interested in the subject matter already knows. At least he's not PewDiePie, so there's that.
10 things people have known about the SNES for over 25 years.
Yep! You heard that right!
Right? Ffs I had to stop watching!
Came here to see who beat me to it..lol.
sverebom that right there is just madness!
I knew about all of these things. If it weren't for UA-cam I wouldn't know of 3 of them. The 3 I had learned online were why the SNES gets yellow, SatellaView and why the SNES was not flat on top.
Please make a video about how to block your channel from appearing in my feed
Ha!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you can actually block suggestions from this channel. When one comes up hit the 3 lil dots in the upper right hand corner and you will get an opinion to stop seeing this dorks channel suggestions. Lord knows I did after the freaking yellow bit
Fun fact: The Super Scope is just called the Super Scope.
"Super Scope 6" is the name of the 6--minigames-in-one-cartridge that was made to showcase the peripheral.
Was going to call this out too lol
Nate Lawrence yeah, this is such a poorly done video
So my dream of owning a Super Scope 4 is never going to happen??? Was hoping to play some Super Castlevania with it...
It's also not officially a "zapper", that was the NES gun. And let's be real, they're just guns.
You're celebrating the Super Nintendo's birthday a month early and doing so with an uniformative video. Kudos
Okay, just a few things wrong with this video.
First, just because you have a SNES that was early enough to have the yellowing problem, doesn't make it more valuable. If anything, the reliability of the earlier units would be compromised by the brittleness of the plastic, and there were likely production changes in later revisions that were designed to improve the reliability further.
Second, yes the mouse could be used in those games, and the experience with the mouse isn't really that good, but the mouse itself is actually quite comparable to mice on PCs at the time, as Optical Mice weren't available yet or were too expensive for the average consumer, and Laser Mice weren't even close to being ready.
Third, there were multiple models of multitaps made by various companies, and even though they allowed you to plug in up to 5 controllers (8 if two multitaps were used), most of the games they worked with limited you to 4 players max, with Secret of Mana only allowing 3 players total.
Fourth, on the sports accessories, you speak as if the accessories themselves were made by Nintendo, which they weren't. They were made by a company called Sports Sciences and licensed for use with the SNES by Nintendo. Further, the games they were compatible with were also, for the most part, not made by Nintendo either, yet you also speak as if they were.
Fifth, the Satellaview was a one-way broadcast service, which means you didn't get any communications features like modern online gaming, nor On-Demand access to the content. It just downloaded whatever the service was sending at the specific time. If the signal got noisy and corrupted the download for the day, you wouldn't have access to anything new until the next time they sent it out, and you might miss out on something if they only sent it that specific day.
Sixth, on the Super Advantage, there were other similar controllers produced by various companies similar to the one shown. Also, the company's name is pronounced Ass-kee-ware, which is the official pronunciation of ASCII, or the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, followed by Ware.
Finally, regarding the design of the SNES, this seems anecdotal to me. Does anyone have a legitimate quote from someone on the design team regarding this coaster thing? Yes, it seems like a logical design choice given what could happen with the NES's shape, but the main reason they made the NES that shape originally was so it would be compared more to a VCR than the traditional top-loading cartridge design common to nearly every console before and after it.
All in all, try to put a little more quality into the videos by improving the research behind them and you'll have a much better channel overall. Most people would prefer a few high-quality videos a week instead of 2-3 poor quality videos per day, like you seem to be focused on.
evknucklehead you should be reserching for this guy, seriously great info. Who didn't know they yellowed with time? All plastic did back then. Still does. Also the coaster thing is an old wives tail. The original nes was a top loader and was changed to the front loader probably for the same reason you listed. They went with the top loader shape for the snes for style probably and the shape was more curved in Japan and the uk with colour on the buttons instead of purple. This guy needs to do some research
+ The Creator of this video should like your comment, as it is pretty helpful. But i guess he rather likes comments that will sound like: "Amazing Video! Great Research! Keep Uploading"...(wow...really there's a keep uploading comment which he liked....damnit)
Dear channel creator: Mr. Evknucklehead provided you with a hint to improve the channel...or in other terms: He's telling you how to attract more people and thus money!
Believe it or not, there were two player Gameboy games that you could play on the Gameboy, with two Gameboys and a link cable!
While I don't doubt that the redesign of the SNES in the US was because of drink spills, in Japan, the original Famicom WAS a top loader (hence the re-release of the NES being a top loader).
Also, (I believe I saw this on another UA-cam channel) but the reason the NES was made as a front-loader in the US was due to people being familiar with front-loading VCRs, thus the NES design was more familiar for adults at the time.
Unfortunately, it led to flaws tied to gaming besides the likely drink spills. (Broken springs, the wearing of the contacts, etc.)
This guy also missed that the Japanese Famicom and Super Famicom controllers had microphones built in and better audio.
Jeremiah Johnson
It was also designed like a VCR to get away from having a video game image. The gaming crash happened and pushed many Americans away from it. Hell, my parents were gamers until the crash. They would tell me that I shouldn't buy into these things "they are a fad." My mother ended up hating them and still does to this day. It really blows her mind that my fiance who is a girly girl is also a hardcore gamer like me. I remember when we first got together and we went to my mothers for Christmas it became quite the scandal. My mother and my sister have this archaic belief that gaming is not feminine nor is it dignified for any female to play them.
Thankfully, I don't buy into that utter tripe that women have their place and I won't stand for it. At any rate, my mother actually bought me a Nes in 1986 because she thought that it would also play VHS movies. Her thought process was that it would still be useful after the game industry died off....;)
there needs to be more ads in this video... being stopped every minute and a half for an ad isn't enough. I want an ad after every word spoken in the video... that's my dream!
Quit being so cheap.

?_? what? That sentence makes no sense.
you are not making any sense
you sound like you are in a completely different conversation than the one happening in this comment chain
Video was obviously made by somebody born AFTER the SNES days. Having grown up in the 80s/90s, none of these 10 things were unknown to me (or my entire generation) whatsoever.
2WhiteAndNerdy not even where those right. As example that the yellow~ish SNES is more worthy. Or that it's a production failure. Hence all of this plastic from those days turned colours when you held it long enough into the sun...
I was born after the nineties and I knew every single one of these
born after doesnt matter, DIDNT GROW UP WITH would be more accurate.
im 25, born 1993, didnt play games till i was 3-4, so N64 was out and i had it.
but i still played NES SNES GEN GB/C all the time. much more than OOT, SM64, smash64, and GLOVER!.
great games, but i only owned a few of them. my family didnt have much money so we bought old games for cheap.
i remember renting Kirby All-Star from Hannaford (northeast supermarket, i live in NY) for 2$ for 2 days. it was awesome. i also remember Hollywood Video and Blockbuster when they still rented games for 5$. before they jacked the price up to 7-9$ per week. i still have a holywod video card. ahh, those were the days...
I guess I wasn't white and nerdy enough, because me and my friends grew up with the NES and SNES (I was born in '75), and I had never heard of any of these extra peripherals. Batter up? Mouse? Online? Five players at once? Nobody I knew had any of this stuff. OK, Game Genie and that big joystick I know, but only for the regular NES. The Game Boy adaptor also sounds somewhat familiar.
I didn't know why my SNES was yellowish
Me: looks at thumbnail Me: I NEVER KNEW I COULD PRESS BUTTONS ON AN SNES CONTROLLER
Um, that last one is very wrong. The NES was flat because the public was wary of gadgets exclusively used for video games after the video game crash of the 80s, so they called it an "entertainment system," copied the design of the VCR and bundled it with things like keyboards, piano peripherals, Mario Paint, etc. Loading sideways from the front wasn't even optimal for the 72-pin connectors and is the primary reason why NES consoles break, but don't throw it away because you can get replacement 72-pin connectors mega cheap from China and you only need a Philips screwdriver to repair it
The vcr aspect and “entertainment system” is true.
But the reason why we got the top loader and the snes being a top loader was because they realized the front loading nes was bad because the pins were bending and not allowing the cart to connect properly (why people were blowing into their carts on the original nes, which blowing didn’t work it was just moving the cart to a position of connection.
Actually the issue with the original NES was because the VCR-like front loading design put slight pressure on the 72-pin connector each time you pressed a cartridge down and locked it into place. I know this having professionally repaired hundreds of NES consoles myself and 95% of the time it's a bad 72-pin connector.
@@BleuSageGaming You never had to push it down in the first place, Nintendo just made it have that ability so it'd look more like a VCR which drops tapes down into a small area where the tape is actually read once inserted, tighter pins makes pushing it completely useless. The reason for this change was indeed because of the video game crash in America with the NES that got released being their second redesign (the first was rejected by stores for looking too much like a videogame console). Go look at the Famicom and you'll see this stuff was never needed for functionality, they're the same system after and play the exact same games but it loads games from the top like pretty much every other console ever with no spring mechanism bending the pins.
Looks like the wannabe know-it-all was you.
Not only that, but the later releases of the NES everywhere were top loaders. It had nothing to do with people putting drinks on the system.
I managed a video game store from 1992-2006. We had a pretty nice side hustle replacing the 72 pin connectors. We'd order them for like $2.00 a piece, spend 5 minutes replacing them for our customers, and charged like $15.00 (which people were glad to pay). We did this all the way up until the store closed in 2012. When the original Playstation came around, we would also clean those consoles, and also kept a few of the CD readers on hand (from decks with defective controller ports, or other issues not related to the CD reader), and would replace these as well. It was easy money for us, and helped our customers out too.
WOW YOU CAN PLAY VIDEO GAMES ON THE SNES!!
I never knew that the Super Nintendo is old. MIND BLOWN!
I NEVER KNEW!!!
You can also use a controller!
XDD literally.. I am excited to know my yellow one is worth more than my grey one lmao but fuck selling my BB's
Memechanical didn't know.
The SNES was top loading for the same reason all the other consoles that came before and after were top loading: it's the best way to insert a cart. The NES was front loading in order to appear more like a VCR, so as to not be regarded as a video computer, which became unpopular after the crash of 83. The ZIF hardware used to facilitate front loading was not effective, and would fail frequently, which most players thought to solve by blowing in the cart
Supposed crash, we had a flourishing game market here in the UK ;P
Wow, you worked for Nintendo in the '90s? They ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED nobody else would know why it was designed like that.

"10 things your snes can do"
"not hold a drink"
Wow... completely useless waste of time. The video should be called “10 things you already knew about your SNES”.
ABS Plastic yellows because the butadiene polymer will readily photocatalyse and the chemical products cause the discoloration. The use of or proportion of TBBP-A is completely irrelevant to the yellowing- It is the proportion of UV Stabilisers and UV Absorbers, which have been intentionally added to ABS plastics effectively since their inception that causes different plastics to exhibit the problem at different rates. The "flame retardants cause yellowing" concept was an untested hypothesis that attempted to explain how retrobrite worked, and seems to now be being spread as a truth, but the hypothesis didn't make any sense, particularly since it meant that elemental bromine was leeching from the compounds into these plastics- If that was true we'd be worried about more than just the appearance, given Bromine is heavily toxic, corrosive, and a known carcinogen.
Lmao bro I hope this was suppose to be a comedy! " get ready to be blown away" trust me i was 😂😂😂
Glad i found this video! Didn't know what the Super Gameboy was used for!
well I know I want those 13 Minutes of my life back all of this is common knowledge to any gamer alive at the time
Jason Paterson I don't think youtube does refunds for time.
It's why you avoid this channel as much as you can.
Did you knew the SNES was a device that you could play games on your TV !
I lost 10 mn of my life listening to you giving fact that EVERYBODY knew (I spare 2 mn for the golf club and the baseball bat that I indeed didn't knew, cause they never crossed the Atlantic). I feel spoiled
I love me some Super Scope. My buddy and I played the hell out of Battle Clash, that game where you shot up the different mechs in one on one battles. Such an amazing game for the day haha.
Was that Paul Rudd in the commercial @2:35? 😂 He looks so excited.
I dont know why you are telling us such obvious things about the SNES. I mean the Zapper, the golf stick and the gameboy adapter arent really things that were kept from the public.
I only knew about the gameboy adapter and zapper but I don't know why all these different peripherals weren't just one entry and half of the entries were just games on the console which, unless I was looking for "best games on the SNES", isn't something I want to see.
the zapper was included in a few box+game thing deals that nintendo did
Clearly it's for people who don't know. You probably should not have clicked on it.
I was born after the SNES and never owned one, but I literally knew of every single one of those things. Except the last, which happens to be something it can't do, not something it "can"
6:30 “pick up the bat and take a stroll down memory lane” I thought the title of the video told me I wasn’t supposed to know about this
Mario Paint gave me my first exposer to animating, and I've been hooked ever since.
I did not knew that you can press the Y button! Sweet!
You can also press A! The more you know. ;)
WAT
What would be shocking if they made the B button press able... that would be shocking...
An a press is an a press. You can't say it's just half
After over 20 years, I can finally beat that first bee mini-boss in Megaman X!
Fun Fact: Nintendo peripherals like the mouse and the golf club were made kid size because....THEY WERE MADE TO BE USED BY KIDS.
I remember the capcom fight pad, it was Japanese I believe yet it worked on the American version of the snes. When I was in my youth I purchased mine at my local GameStop at the time I thought it was a unique looking controller very comfortable to use.
"Home alone type ingenuity was all the rage" Yes - this kid isn't old enough to truly understand :)
Bad video over all, especially that last fact. How is "not being a coaster" something that you never knew your old super Nintendo "COULD" do?
You say 10 things you didn't know SNES's could do, but the thumbnail shows the Y button. I'm pretty sure every guy and their pet's pets know what a Y button is.
PKhydro yeah but did you know that the super Nintendo and the super family had different designs for the x and y button.
This was awesome! I had Game Genie for my old NES, but I didn't know they had one for the SNES. That was the only custom device I had (and really didn't want one - the controller is as good as it gets IMO, though I would love to mess with a BatterUp).
Of course the golf club was made for a 10-year-old. Who do you think the Super NES was marketed to? "adults" in the early 90's didn't play video games, lol... That is something kids these days just don't understand.
Nikola Tesla and they still don’t play Nintendo. Sony, Microsoft and formally Sega are the adult consoles.

Ben P OMG whatttt i thought the first nintendo console was the nintendo 64
Overlord Pug what
eLi FILMS it was a joke
"an awesome stroll down memory lane" but I thought you said I didn't know how to do it?
Half of the things I seriously did not know about so good on ya, matey!
Yeah, uh... The reason SNES games load directly into the top is because
A) The Japanese Super Famicom systems were modeled on the Famicom, which was a top-loading system.
B) The front-loading gimmick of the NES was only put there to distance the system from other video systems by making it feel more like a VCR or computer disk drive (see the book "Game Over") so as to not be associated with Atari. By the time the SNES came out, there was no need for that level of subterfuge.
C) By the time the SNES was released, the connector contact defect problem with the NES (where the internal contacts are worn out by pressing the cartridge down over the lifetime of the system) was already known and becoming a problem for consumers.
While I am certain that a benefit of the SNES design was to alleviate people using the system as a storage space, it very clearly wasn't the reason for the design (even the Japanese Super Famicom is too rounded to have anything placed on its top). If you're going to make ridiculous assertions, please quote your sources.
Plus, the "not a coaster" thing isn't really something the SNES CAN do, but something it CANNOT.
Brendan Dawson Just in case you are in the market for an SNES, the original full-size (yellowing) version is better than the later "mini" revision for at least one reason: The original SNES supports S-video (with the appropriate A/V out cable) while the later version doesn't.
That footage of the Super Game Boy with Metroid II in it was lifted from an AVGN episode.
My God. This is painfully stupid.
Most of this was common knowledge to people who grew up in the 90s.
@@anthonytd103 most? My 1 year old nephew knows this crap
I had (I think I still have) that cartbridge where you could put a gameboy cardbridge in it. Haha this video brings so much memories. Mario paint was such a great game (only for the music software in it tho). Loved this console. My childhood
This is all stuff almost any gamer form the 90's knows.
It's true, I'm a 90s kid and I remember them all.
Only 90s kids will remember
I'm 2009 and I know
Btw on sis account
The only one that I didn't know about was the "not a coaster", but I also didn't use mine as one either.
Is that Paul Rudd at 2:36 ?
YEP!

Learned nothing except that inevitably there will be "retro" gamers who are nostalgic for things they never experienced first-hand.
You are incorrect, I knew about nearly all of these things
Check out Paul Rudd at 2:35!
Nice, video, But was the ARROW on the button in the thumbnail needed? U could have put a picture of the Super advantage beside the SNES there.
4:12 : Many sports games uses the Multitap. I used to own NFL Quarterback Clab 96 and it was a multitap compatible game.

64KRAM Or you know the video is crap.
Sure sign of a hack, asking for likes etc before the video itself has begun.
The change in design because of drinks spillage isn't entirely true. The original NES is a top loader but only in the Japanese domestic market (FAMICOM) for the European & North American market it was changed to a front loader, the reason this was done is because of the great gaming crash of the early 80's, sales outside of Japan of game consoles plummeted so Nintendo decided to make the FAMICOM (NES) not look like a games console outside of the domestic market, the design they went for was a front loading VCR, they hoped it would tempt buyers as it looked like something they already owned. They were correct, when the Super FAMICOM (SNES) launched the console market was more than stable so they kept the top loader layout regardless of the sales market. Hope this helps.
If your super Nintendo turns yellow, you made it really mad, and it turned super saiyan. lol
Swear this took me back to when I first seen that NES Advantage and that game Genie was everything lol. Awesome video lol
It's rude to patronize creators. If you don't like a video just be honest instead of mocking him with "awesome video lol"
The last one about the design change being because the NES was used as a coaster is horseshit lol. It was changed because the side load design was a poor one. After time playing different games the pins would bend and it would cause the dreaded blinking light/screen.
And we all thought you had to blow into the cartridge and system 😂.
UberStarFkr It also overheated since the position of the loader interfered with the ventilation.
You used horseshit in a sentence! Awesome! We need to bring back that and calling people a horse's ass!
There was an article in Nintendo Power before the SNES was actually released. They talked with the designer of the system and I'm pretty sure it mentioned this a one reason for the curved top. Either way this is hardly a secret.
Nintendo did say in a Nintendo Power issue that the design was on purpose because people were setting drinks on the original NES. It was done so nothing could be set on top of it.

I'm guessing where you are doesn't use AC outlets? I knew NES was AC current because in the US that is the standard. In many other countries DC is used in the home. Well technically DC devices are still used but its changed to AC and vise versa at the wall wart if I remember right. Don't completely quote me though, I'm not an electrician lol.
Nobody else has yet noticed Paul Rudd in the SNES commercial at 2:33?
Teddy Brown I was wondering when someone was gonna mention it. Lol
Laffy taffy...
Noticed just don’t care. 😪
Played NHL 94 and Madden all the time with 5 players, always very fun. I want to play Ken Griffey with a bat though!!! Thanks for that
Great video! I have to check my SNES systems now. I should have at least one yellow one.
You have the entire internet at your fingertips and you scoured the WHOLE of Amazon to say the bat was hard to find. Laziness at its best there....
The multi tap works with multiplayer sports games? - shit me, next you will be telling me that you could play game boy games on the SNES!
Garbage video with a few random bits of SNES trivia, not little known features of it as the title suggests.
"It's a chameleon"
Actually, the Chameleon is an SNES mini inside a Jaguar case. ;)
Whooaaa super game boy. Totally never seen, heard, or used that... ever... neither did any of my friends... like everything else on this list. Grrreat video
Claims its only early release snes that turn yellow then shows clip of a yellow later revision. You can tell it's a later revision if it has the sticker that warns about powering off before changing games. The early revision also have four rubber pads on the bottom instead of two. These ones seem to be less reliable than the later revisions. You are not lucky if you have one of the early ones.
When they said that I was confused because mine has managed to keep its original gray color and was a launch unit.
Fuck I hate it when people call arcade sticks “fight sticks.”
the military used the super Nintendo and a lazier adapter on the M16 to help with shooting skills. they had one in my company day room in my first unit.
was it yellow did you know you can buy Mario paint for it? did you know there is AC adapter for mains power outlet?!?!?!
You gotta love that for these videos, they just put a pointer to a random button.
I still have my SNES, and it is yellow. I noticed it a few years ago when I pulled it out of a box. The whole thing minus the "ramp" where the game slot is has yellowed. It is definitely a first gen. I bought it with my own allowance/birthday money back in '91-'92. It was the first big purchase I made with my own money. Ah, the memories...
"Did you learn anything new?" No.
"It could turn yellow, especially if you store it in the toilet" *holds up snes covered in feces.
the shitty super nintendo
The SNES I grew up with is a lovely shade of yellow, as is the controller that came with it, whereas the player 2 controller remained gray. I always preferred the yellow controller.
Had the superscope 6 and an extra game for it, man I got so good at shooting I picked up a rifle for the first time and after a bad shot due to sights being off I was almost dead center on the second shot.
