Peoww News

Various sites are reporting that Nintendo’s venerable Super NES is twenty years old today. How charmingly insular of them. August 23rd is in fact the twentieth anniversary of the US release, so you won’t see us trumpeting that from our  drooling maws. 

That’ll happen on April 11th 2012, the anniversary of when we finally got it here in Europe. Expect a feature then, but not a top 100 like these guys. 

Of course, the US SNES had that awful purple breezeblock thing going on rather than the slender lines of the Super Famicom & PAL Super Nintendo. Didn’t stop me from buying one of those too, curse you Final Fantasy III! Ian
