SNES Games - Original SNES Games - Retro Games
The Nintendo Entertainment System has been around for many years. In 1991 Nintendo introduced the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) to the world. It was faster, had better graphics and sound then the previous Nintendo Entertainment System and also had more games available for it. The NES Console also had large cartridges but the the SNES cut the side of the cartridges almost in half. It was also pretty affordable as far as gaming systems were concerned.
There was also a console war between the Nintendo Corporation and The Sega Corporation with both companies wanting their console to be the leading sell and the best known console of the era. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System ended up prevailing in the console wars and introducing us 16 bit technology, because of the faster gaming and better graphics the Super Nintendo Entertainment System ended up being in over 49,000 homes world wide. Games like Super Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda and Mortal Combat all changed the way we looked at gaming from the older Nintendo Entertainment System.
Today the concept of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System has been surpassed by things that we never thought could happen in the gaming world. Graphics are so realistic and life like that it feels that we are watching reality television. The Nintendo Corporation released the WII entertainment system that allows its players to actually participate in the gaming sequences, with motion activation. There is also a WII balance board that players use to exercise or play snowboard and skateboard sequence games. Games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero have also taken interactive gaming to a whole new level.
