How did such a large number of people decide on calling it “regular Nintendo” before having internet?
Also, I hate when people call it “Ness”
I’m guessing once the snes came out and the ‘regular’ just made sense to mean ‘not-super’
Sub Nintendo.
Dom Nintendo 🥺👉👈

I worked in an Electronic Boutique (now GameStop) years and years and years ago.
I still think about the kid that came in and asked for a sness.
"Sness" is way less unacceptable than "ness" to me, for some reason.
It only really became NES once the SNES came out.
Before that it was just Nintendo.

Grandma: Calling all consoles "the Nintendo".
I'm really looking forward to pulling this crap as I get older.
Particularly about Pokémon. I grew up with Pokémon. I've played every single main game (or at least one of the two that released!) I cannot wait to call them all Pikachu just to watch a kid squirm.
I remember when the best NES emulator was NESticle. Hard to not pronounce it "ness" after that.
In my country; all the retro consoles (up to playstation) are called atari.
Everyone I knew called/calls it the "nez".
Same. Nez and Snez
I know too many people for whom „a Nintendo“ means a Nintendo DS. Perhaps a generational thing.
Which is the unleaded Nintendo?
"8-bit Nintendo"
Intendo as the little kids might say
That Famicom close that added DRM
"Normal Nintendo" is what we call it.
I thought my family were the only ones! Must have been to differentiate it from the "Super Nintendo" we also had.
Rough translation, but here it was "Ordinary Nintendo", as opposed to the Super Nintendo
Yep, Nintendo ordinaire. Lol
I ... dont think I ever realised they called it Ness and not Nes.
Ness was first introduced on the Super Famicom. Though he only really got popular when Super Smash Bros came out on the NES64.
Sub Nintendo
Both subs and supras love~~d~~ a good cartridge blowjob.
They just didn't though. You just enjoyed giving them
In my language we just called it small Nintendo.
In the UK and Ireland, we call the SNES "the Snez", but I've never heard it said that way in the States. Is that peculiar to this part of the world?
Most of the time I hear S N E S (each letter pronounced individually) or Super Nintendo.
I have heard "the Snes" (pronounced with an S sound instead of a Z), but I didn't hear that commonly until much later, after it was considered a retro console.
I live in the US and me and all my friends pronounce SNES as SNess. (And NES as Ness) for what it is worth. It seems to be somewhat common as my friends who grew up on the other side of the country say it this way too.
