Back in the day it was "Original Nintendo" and "Super Nintendo".

But nowadays I pronounce N-E-S, saying each letter individually. But when it comes to SNES, I sound it out, as if the word "Snes" actually existed.

I still say, if you take the RPG library out of the PS1, you have a mediocre (at best) library. A few greats, Castlevania for example. But it quickly turns into Ape Escape. Then it quickly turns into Duke Nukem and the Planet of the Babes. For RPG fans, it is a great system. I like just a few RPGs, I'm not a big PS1 fan.

The d-pad is awful. And it is in the most prominent spot. That is awful. Games are not played the same as they were in the mid 90s. If you have a bad d-pad, move it. The dreamcast d-pad is horrible. They could have just put a cheese grater in its spot and it would have done the same thing. But they at least moved it out of the way.

Don't analyze anything I say in that video, in person, or in print. I'm talking out of my ass most of the time.

Now, I don't like the Playstation 1 because it was in direct competition with Nintendo. I was a huge fanboy. I had a very Highlander "There can be only one" way of thinking. I still hold disdain for the playstation.

Even after I had my Dreamcast realization a few years ago and I saw the era of my ways as a fanboy of any sort, I still don't like the PS1. The 3D that was crammed down our throats then is still there. The heart was willing but the body wasn't able, meaning they really really wanted to make 3D games, but the technology just wasn't there yet.

There are a few brights spots that I've found. Symphony of the Night, Contra Adventure, Castlevania Chronicles, and Metal Gear Solid. That's about it. The basketball games were ok for the time, but sports games never hold up unless they are Tecmo Super Bowl, RBI Baseball, or have Mutant League n the title.

One last thing, the Xbox 360 controller is the best controller of all time.

I pronounced it Nez for years and then I switched to N.E.S. a while ago. I have no idea why.

I'm kind of surprised at how many people called it "regular Nintendo". I thought I was one of the few. NES and N.E.S do seem to be the most popular though.
