Hello Everyone :D. I noticed with the super famicom button lay out Nintendo has been doing on even American releases like some of the new 3DS variants that the green, blue, red yellow layout of the buttons is not only awesome looking imo but also pretty culturally popular with a lot of people loving it for it's nostalgia and japanese exclusivity. With that said who do you think got a better looking piece of hardware, Japan or the UK/US regions? :D. I'll break it down into 4 categories. The box. The console. The controller. The cartridge. And we all can decide which one we like more for each :) Console (The Super Nintendo is a design we all know and love and that we grew up with. With it's purple manual switches for both power and reset along with a giant grey release lever. When not yellowed it's really an amazing looking console :) The Japanese version features a lot of differences. With it's two tone grey color scheme with the more vibrant colors on the logo in the tradition red, green, blue, yellow. Definitely a neat look :) Controller Here we have both of the controllers in their natural habitat. Grazing. Waiting to be held. One visually continuing with the R,G,B,Y scheme and keeping all of it's 4 buttons rounded while the SNES goes with it's unique and iconic light purple, dark purple scheme with 2 of the buttons being concave. SNES also has a much longer wire to be considered. Which controller do you prefer? :D Console Box There is a lot of box variants for both systems but these are probably the two most popular and also two of the more standard boxes. :). For super Nintendo we have a visual representation of the console with some nice red lettering in bold large print. For the Super Famicom we have a very artsy and vibrant multi colored visual of a super famicom with some neat abstract flare. Cartridges For the final category we have cartridges. Super Famicom featuring a more rounded look with a front label while SNES has a more boxed rectangular look with the label going up over the top of the cartridge doubling as a top label as well. Both with varying cover arts as well based on region :). My ratings and choices would be Console- Super Famicom (I love the two tone grey color but it could be because I like the uniqueness of it because I didn't grow up with it) Controller- Super Famicom (This is the biggest win for SF in my opinion. I love those non concaved buttons and the color scheme. :) Box- Super Famicom (Really cool looking box although I prefer the box for SNES with donkey kong on it. Cartirdge- SNES (The SF carts look a little plain to me and I love the grooves and the labels on NA SNES carts :D ) Which console do you like better visually and even just from playability? Both are amazing and very different in their own ways. ;D |

It's a mixture for me. I like the SNES colors, but the Famicom console. I like the colors, so I like the SNES controller more. Famicom has the better box art, but I like the SNES carts more. |

Console=Snes by far Controller=Super Famicom Box=Snes Cartridges=Snes by far |

To me Super Famicom is better in almost every capacity. Console styling, packaging, game box art in general. It uses the same power supply brick the original Famicom used, so that's kind of useful. They actually made use of the bottom expansion slot. There was special kiosks where customers could download games onto a cartridge. The game library is also just... bigger. Support for SFC ran all the way to 2003 in Japan. The only obvious bad thing about it was their controller cables were really short. |
