Fun fact: The Super Scope is just called the Super Scope. "Super Scope 6" is the name of the 6--minigames-in-one-cartridge that was made to showcase the peripheral.
Video was obviously made by somebody born AFTER the SNES days. Having grown up in the 80s/90s, none of these 10 things were unknown to me (or my entire generation) whatsoever.
2WhiteAndNerdy not even where those right. As example that the yellow~ish SNES is more worthy. Or that it's a production failure. Hence all of this plastic from those days turned colours when you held it long enough into the sun...
born after doesnt matter, DIDNT GROW UP WITH would be more accurate. im 25, born 1993, didnt play games till i was 3-4, so N64 was out and i had it. but i still played NES SNES GEN GB/C all the time. much more than OOT, SM64, smash64, and GLOVER!. great games, but i only owned a few of them. my family didnt have much money so we bought old games for cheap. i remember renting Kirby All-Star from Hannaford (northeast supermarket, i live in NY) for 2$ for 2 days. it was awesome. i also remember Hollywood Video and Blockbuster when they still rented games for 5$. before they jacked the price up to 7-9$ per week. i still have a holywod video card. ahh, those were the days...
I guess I wasn't white and nerdy enough, because me and my friends grew up with the NES and SNES (I was born in '75), and I had never heard of any of these extra peripherals. Batter up? Mouse? Online? Five players at once? Nobody I knew had any of this stuff. OK, Game Genie and that big joystick I know, but only for the regular NES. The Game Boy adaptor also sounds somewhat familiar.
It turns yellow, it has a mouse and a multi tap.... wow how have I lived till now? I dont know if this is a troll video or if hes genuinely amazed by these widely known facts. I'm guessing if you jingle your car keys in his face he giggles and claps his hands wildly while kicking his feet
Okay, just a few things wrong with this video. First, just because you have a SNES that was early enough to have the yellowing problem, doesn't make it more valuable. If anything, the reliability of the earlier units would be compromised by the brittleness of the plastic, and there were likely production changes in later revisions that were designed to improve the reliability further. Second, yes the mouse could be used in those games, and the experience with the mouse isn't really that good, but the mouse itself is actually quite comparable to mice on PCs at the time, as Optical Mice weren't available yet or were too expensive for the average consumer, and Laser Mice weren't even close to being ready. Third, there were multiple models of multitaps made by various companies, and even though they allowed you to plug in up to 5 controllers (8 if two multitaps were used), most of the games they worked with limited you to 4 players max, with Secret of Mana only allowing 3 players total. Fourth, on the sports accessories, you speak as if the accessories themselves were made by Nintendo, which they weren't. They were made by a company called Sports Sciences and licensed for use with the SNES by Nintendo. Further, the games they were compatible with were also, for the most part, not made by Nintendo either, yet you also speak as if they were. Fifth, the Satellaview was a one-way broadcast service, which means you didn't get any communications features like modern online gaming, nor On-Demand access to the content. It just downloaded whatever the service was sending at the specific time. If the signal got noisy and corrupted the download for the day, you wouldn't have access to anything new until the next time they sent it out, and you might miss out on something if they only sent it that specific day. Sixth, on the Super Advantage, there were other similar controllers produced by various companies similar to the one shown. Also, the company's name is pronounced Ass-kee-ware, which is the official pronunciation of ASCII, or the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, followed by Ware. Finally, regarding the design of the SNES, this seems anecdotal to me. Does anyone have a legitimate quote from someone on the design team regarding this coaster thing? Yes, it seems like a logical design choice given what could happen with the NES's shape, but the main reason they made the NES that shape originally was so it would be compared more to a VCR than the traditional top-loading cartridge design common to nearly every console before and after it. All in all, try to put a little more quality into the videos by improving the research behind them and you'll have a much better channel overall. Most people would prefer a few high-quality videos a week instead of 2-3 poor quality videos per day, like you seem to be focused on.
evknucklehead you should be reserching for this guy, seriously great info. Who didn't know they yellowed with time? All plastic did back then. Still does. Also the coaster thing is an old wives tail. The original nes was a top loader and was changed to the front loader probably for the same reason you listed. They went with the top loader shape for the snes for style probably and the shape was more curved in Japan and the uk with colour on the buttons instead of purple. This guy needs to do some research
+ The Creator of this video should like your comment, as it is pretty helpful. But i guess he rather likes comments that will sound like: "Amazing Video! Great Research! Keep Uploading"...(wow...really there's a keep uploading comment which he liked....damnit) Dear channel creator: Mr. Evknucklehead provided you with a hint to improve the channel...or in other terms: He's telling you how to attract more people and thus money!
While I don't doubt that the redesign of the SNES in the US was because of drink spills, in Japan, the original Famicom WAS a top loader (hence the re-release of the NES being a top loader). Also, (I believe I saw this on another TH-cam channel) but the reason the NES was made as a front-loader in the US was due to people being familiar with front-loading VCRs, thus the NES design was more familiar for adults at the time. Unfortunately, it led to flaws tied to gaming besides the likely drink spills. (Broken springs, the wearing of the contacts, etc.) This guy also missed that the Japanese Famicom and Super Famicom controllers had microphones built in and better audio.
Jeremiah Johnson It was also designed like a VCR to get away from having a video game image. The gaming crash happened and pushed many Americans away from it. Hell, my parents were gamers until the crash. They would tell me that I shouldn't buy into these things "they are a fad." My mother ended up hating them and still does to this day. It really blows her mind that my fiance who is a girly girl is also a hardcore gamer like me. I remember when we first got together and we went to my mothers for Christmas it became quite the scandal. My mother and my sister have this archaic belief that gaming is not feminine nor is it dignified for any female to play them. Thankfully, I don't buy into that utter tripe that women have their place and I won't stand for it. At any rate, my mother actually bought me a Nes in 1986 because she thought that it would also play VHS movies. Her thought process was that it would still be useful after the game industry died off....;)
The SNES was top loading for the same reason all the other consoles that came before and after were top loading: it's the best way to insert a cart. The NES was front loading in order to appear more like a VCR, so as to not be regarded as a video computer, which became unpopular after the crash of 83. The ZIF hardware used to facilitate front loading was not effective, and would fail frequently, which most players thought to solve by blowing in the cart
Without this video I never would have known that I could plug controllers into my Super NES I was wondering why I could not play any of my games thank you very much
there needs to be more ads in this video... being stopped every minute and a half for an ad isn't enough. I want an ad after every word spoken in the video... that's my dream!
"How about this: did you know that the Super Nintendo could accommodate more than 2 players? We didn’t either. " Yes, actually, I did. I had one, too. Honestly, this video is an embarassment.
Um, that last one is very wrong. The NES was flat because the public was wary of gadgets exclusively used for video games after the video game crash of the 80s, so they called it an "entertainment system," copied the design of the VCR and bundled it with things like keyboards, piano peripherals, Mario Paint, etc. Loading sideways from the front wasn't even optimal for the 72-pin connectors and is the primary reason why NES consoles break, but don't throw it away because you can get replacement 72-pin connectors mega cheap from China and you only need a Philips screwdriver to repair it
The vcr aspect and “entertainment system” is true. But the reason why we got the top loader and the snes being a top loader was because they realized the front loading nes was bad because the pins were bending and not allowing the cart to connect properly (why people were blowing into their carts on the original nes, which blowing didn’t work it was just moving the cart to a position of connection.
Actually the issue with the original NES was because the VCR-like front loading design put slight pressure on the 72-pin connector each time you pressed a cartridge down and locked it into place. I know this having professionally repaired hundreds of NES consoles myself and 95% of the time it's a bad 72-pin connector.
@@BleuSageGaming You never had to push it down in the first place, Nintendo just made it have that ability so it'd look more like a VCR which drops tapes down into a small area where the tape is actually read once inserted, tighter pins makes pushing it completely useless. The reason for this change was indeed because of the video game crash in America with the NES that got released being their second redesign (the first was rejected by stores for looking too much like a videogame console). Go look at the Famicom and you'll see this stuff was never needed for functionality, they're the same system after and play the exact same games but it loads games from the top like pretty much every other console ever with no spring mechanism bending the pins. Looks like the wannabe know-it-all was you.
I managed a video game store from 1992-2006. We had a pretty nice side hustle replacing the 72 pin connectors. We'd order them for like $2.00 a piece, spend 5 minutes replacing them for our customers, and charged like $15.00 (which people were glad to pay). We did this all the way up until the store closed in 2012. When the original Playstation came around, we would also clean those consoles, and also kept a few of the CD readers on hand (from decks with defective controller ports, or other issues not related to the CD reader), and would replace these as well. It was easy money for us, and helped our customers out too.
ABS Plastic yellows because the butadiene polymer will readily photocatalyse and the chemical products cause the discoloration. The use of or proportion of TBBP-A is completely irrelevant to the yellowing- It is the proportion of UV Stabilisers and UV Absorbers, which have been intentionally added to ABS plastics effectively since their inception that causes different plastics to exhibit the problem at different rates. The "flame retardants cause yellowing" concept was an untested hypothesis that attempted to explain how retrobrite worked, and seems to now be being spread as a truth, but the hypothesis didn't make any sense, particularly since it meant that elemental bromine was leeching from the compounds into these plastics- If that was true we'd be worried about more than just the appearance, given Bromine is heavily toxic, corrosive, and a known carcinogen.
I was born after the SNES and never owned one, but I literally knew of every single one of those things. Except the last, which happens to be something it can't do, not something it "can"
Yeah, uh... The reason SNES games load directly into the top is because A) The Japanese Super Famicom systems were modeled on the Famicom, which was a top-loading system. B) The front-loading gimmick of the NES was only put there to distance the system from other video systems by making it feel more like a VCR or computer disk drive (see the book "Game Over") so as to not be associated with Atari. By the time the SNES came out, there was no need for that level of subterfuge. C) By the time the SNES was released, the connector contact defect problem with the NES (where the internal contacts are worn out by pressing the cartridge down over the lifetime of the system) was already known and becoming a problem for consumers. While I am certain that a benefit of the SNES design was to alleviate people using the system as a storage space, it very clearly wasn't the reason for the design (even the Japanese Super Famicom is too rounded to have anything placed on its top). If you're going to make ridiculous assertions, please quote your sources. Plus, the "not a coaster" thing isn't really something the SNES CAN do, but something it CANNOT.
Brendan Dawson Just in case you are in the market for an SNES, the original full-size (yellowing) version is better than the later "mini" revision for at least one reason: The original SNES supports S-video (with the appropriate A/V out cable) while the later version doesn't.
Did you knew the SNES was a device that you could play games on your TV ! I lost 10 mn of my life listening to you giving fact that EVERYBODY knew (I spare 2 mn for the golf club and the baseball bat that I indeed didn't knew, cause they never crossed the Atlantic). I feel spoiled
Claims its only early release snes that turn yellow then shows clip of a yellow later revision. You can tell it's a later revision if it has the sticker that warns about powering off before changing games. The early revision also have four rubber pads on the bottom instead of two. These ones seem to be less reliable than the later revisions. You are not lucky if you have one of the early ones.
I dont know why you are telling us such obvious things about the SNES. I mean the Zapper, the golf stick and the gameboy adapter arent really things that were kept from the public.
I only knew about the gameboy adapter and zapper but I don't know why all these different peripherals weren't just one entry and half of the entries were just games on the console which, unless I was looking for "best games on the SNES", isn't something I want to see.
The last one about the design change being because the NES was used as a coaster is horseshit lol. It was changed because the side load design was a poor one. After time playing different games the pins would bend and it would cause the dreaded blinking light/screen. And we all thought you had to blow into the cartridge and system 😂.
There was an article in Nintendo Power before the SNES was actually released. They talked with the designer of the system and I'm pretty sure it mentioned this a one reason for the curved top. Either way this is hardly a secret.

UberStarFkr Now there's also something about the NES in that the NES PSU has an output voltage of 9V AC, so it outputs Alternating Current rather than Direct, which when contrasted with the Famicom, this would totally fry a Famicom. I mean, this might not totally be in line with the topic, but I still find that interesting.
Nintendo did say in a Nintendo Power issue that the design was on purpose because people were setting drinks on the original NES. It was done so nothing could be set on top of it.
Of course the golf club was made for a 10-year-old. Who do you think the Super NES was marketed to? "adults" in the early 90's didn't play video games, lol... That is something kids these days just don't understand.
You gotta understand man, this was like the era where the only "internet" was BBS's and AOL, so we really only saw porn through magazines and scrambled PPV channels. Oh and Univision...lol...well close enough.
You say 10 things you didn't know SNES's could do, but the thumbnail shows the Y button. I'm pretty sure every guy and their pet's pets know what a Y button is.
Hey guys, great job on the video, the top #1 was fascinating and makes complete sense. I knew a couple things on the list, but keep rolling the retro game and consoles too ten! I consider myself a buff, and find your videos a fun challenge.
The last point reminded me of an old joke I loved back in the day. What do you get when you scratch your 64 game? A scratched 64 game. What do you have when you scratch a playstation game? A fifty dollar coaster.
(Sigh...) First off: That is a Horrendous Voice! Secondly: Again with filling the list with peripherals? It's not as bad as your N64 version, but this is just atrocious either way. And I know that Fact 1 & Fact 10 aren't related to peripherals, but they certainly have been talked about before. Third: There really isn't that much to talk about when it comes to making a list of facts for this console. Though then again, you COULD have made MORE entries that talk about the SNES directly instead of wasting our time with EIGHT entries of Peripherals. Finally: Despite the fact that I was born in 2000, I did have an SNES growing up. So I do have at least SOME credibility in knowing some of the facts about this console. So to see you squander upon trying to make a list for what you call an "Old" gaming system is just ridiculous. If anything, the SNES I once had is more functional than say... "The Gamer" as a Creditable Channel!
how should we know if its good or not if we not watch it @happy fox productions? i watched it, i hated the many wrong and/or basic facts that he sells us as big discoveries and many peopld complain about it. and thats good so. he cant make better videos when all you do is blowing sugar in his ass. if its shit, you can say it.
@MasterKOfficial I was talking to Thomas. I was telling him (not anybody else) that if he didn't like peripherals and that kind of stuff, just don't watch it.
I love me some Super Scope. My buddy and I played the hell out of Battle Clash, that game where you shot up the different mechs in one on one battles. Such an amazing game for the day haha.
chriskeepit100 also Nintendo actually didn't had the baseball bat, mouse etc. They are 3rd party products which just got licensed, same goes for the games they came with..
You have the entire internet at your fingertips and you scoured the WHOLE of Amazon to say the bat was hard to find. Laziness at its best there.... The multi tap works with multiplayer sports games? - shit me, next you will be telling me that you could play game boy games on the SNES! Garbage video with a few random bits of SNES trivia, not little known features of it as the title suggests.

Okay, just a few things wrong with this video.
First, just because you have a SNES that was early enough to have the yellowing problem, doesn't make it more valuable. If anything, the reliability of the earlier units would be compromised by the brittleness of the plastic, and there were likely production changes in later revisions that were designed to improve the reliability further.
Second, yes the mouse could be used in those games, and the experience with the mouse isn't really that good, but the mouse itself is actually quite comparable to mice on PCs at the time, as Optical Mice weren't available yet or were too expensive for the average consumer, and Laser Mice weren't even close to being ready.
Third, there were multiple models of multitaps made by various companies, and even though they allowed you to plug in up to 5 controllers (8 if two multitaps were used), most of the games they worked with limited you to 4 players max, with Secret of Mana only allowing 3 players total.
Fourth, on the sports accessories, you speak as if the accessories themselves were made by Nintendo, which they weren't. They were made by a company called Sports Sciences and licensed for use with the SNES by Nintendo. Further, the games they were compatible with were also, for the most part, not made by Nintendo either, yet you also speak as if they were.
Fifth, the Satellaview was a one-way broadcast service, which means you didn't get any communications features like modern online gaming, nor On-Demand access to the content. It just downloaded whatever the service was sending at the specific time. If the signal got noisy and corrupted the download for the day, you wouldn't have access to anything new until the next time they sent it out, and you might miss out on something if they only sent it that specific day.
Sixth, on the Super Advantage, there were other similar controllers produced by various companies similar to the one shown. Also, the company's name is pronounced Ass-kee-ware, which is the official pronunciation of ASCII, or the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, followed by Ware.
Finally, regarding the design of the SNES, this seems anecdotal to me. Does anyone have a legitimate quote from someone on the design team regarding this coaster thing? Yes, it seems like a logical design choice given what could happen with the NES's shape, but the main reason they made the NES that shape originally was so it would be compared more to a VCR than the traditional top-loading cartridge design common to nearly every console before and after it.
All in all, try to put a little more quality into the videos by improving the research behind them and you'll have a much better channel overall. Most people would prefer a few high-quality videos a week instead of 2-3 poor quality videos per day, like you seem to be focused on.
evknucklehead you should be reserching for this guy, seriously great info. Who didn't know they yellowed with time? All plastic did back then. Still does. Also the coaster thing is an old wives tail. The original nes was a top loader and was changed to the front loader probably for the same reason you listed. They went with the top loader shape for the snes for style probably and the shape was more curved in Japan and the uk with colour on the buttons instead of purple. This guy needs to do some research
+ The Creator of this video should like your comment, as it is pretty helpful. But i guess he rather likes comments that will sound like: "Amazing Video! Great Research! Keep Uploading"...(wow...really there's a keep uploading comment which he liked....damnit)
Dear channel creator: Mr. Evknucklehead provided you with a hint to improve the channel...or in other terms: He's telling you how to attract more people and thus money!
Believe it or not, there were two player Gameboy games that you could play on the Gameboy, with two Gameboys and a link cable!
While I don't doubt that the redesign of the SNES in the US was because of drink spills, in Japan, the original Famicom WAS a top loader (hence the re-release of the NES being a top loader).
Also, (I believe I saw this on another TH-cam channel) but the reason the NES was made as a front-loader in the US was due to people being familiar with front-loading VCRs, thus the NES design was more familiar for adults at the time.
Unfortunately, it led to flaws tied to gaming besides the likely drink spills. (Broken springs, the wearing of the contacts, etc.)
This guy also missed that the Japanese Famicom and Super Famicom controllers had microphones built in and better audio.

It was also designed like a VCR to get away from having a video game image. The gaming crash happened and pushed many Americans away from it. Hell, my parents were gamers until the crash. They would tell me that I shouldn't buy into these things "they are a fad." My mother ended up hating them and still does to this day. It really blows her mind that my fiance who is a girly girl is also a hardcore gamer like me. I remember when we first got together and we went to my mothers for Christmas it became quite the scandal. My mother and my sister have this archaic belief that gaming is not feminine nor is it dignified for any female to play them.
Thankfully, I don't buy into that utter tripe that women have their place and I won't stand for it. At any rate, my mother actually bought me a Nes in 1986 because she thought that it would also play VHS movies. Her thought process was that it would still be useful after the game industry died off....;)
The SNES was top loading for the same reason all the other consoles that came before and after were top loading: it's the best way to insert a cart. The NES was front loading in order to appear more like a VCR, so as to not be regarded as a video computer, which became unpopular after the crash of 83. The ZIF hardware used to facilitate front loading was not effective, and would fail frequently, which most players thought to solve by blowing in the cart
Supposed crash, we had a flourishing game market here in the UK ;P
Wow, you worked for Nintendo in the '90s? They ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED nobody else would know why it was designed like that.
Without this video I never would have known that I could plug controllers into my Super NES I was wondering why I could not play any of my games thank you very much
Juan Garcia Without this video I would never know Nintendo made video games.
Wait, what is this "Nintendo"??? What are these "video games" you speak of...???
I no no see these things from under me rock that I live under.
there needs to be more ads in this video... being stopped every minute and a half for an ad isn't enough. I want an ad after every word spoken in the video... that's my dream!
Quit being so cheap.
"10 things you never knew your old Super Nintendo could do"
*Points to the Y button.
But y tho?
@@mistervoolish7178 y you gotta make these bad puns? Oh wait...
"How about this: did you know that the Super Nintendo could accommodate more than 2 players? We didn’t either. "
Yes, actually, I did. I had one, too.
Honestly, this video is an embarassment.
Most of this shit is common knowledge
Graham Arnett yup
What wasn't?
Well this was uninformative
"who knew SNES could do all of these things?" ...well, basically EVERYONE who ever played one.
Um, that last one is very wrong. The NES was flat because the public was wary of gadgets exclusively used for video games after the video game crash of the 80s, so they called it an "entertainment system," copied the design of the VCR and bundled it with things like keyboards, piano peripherals, Mario Paint, etc. Loading sideways from the front wasn't even optimal for the 72-pin connectors and is the primary reason why NES consoles break, but don't throw it away because you can get replacement 72-pin connectors mega cheap from China and you only need a Philips screwdriver to repair it
The vcr aspect and “entertainment system” is true.
But the reason why we got the top loader and the snes being a top loader was because they realized the front loading nes was bad because the pins were bending and not allowing the cart to connect properly (why people were blowing into their carts on the original nes, which blowing didn’t work it was just moving the cart to a position of connection.
Actually the issue with the original NES was because the VCR-like front loading design put slight pressure on the 72-pin connector each time you pressed a cartridge down and locked it into place. I know this having professionally repaired hundreds of NES consoles myself and 95% of the time it's a bad 72-pin connector.
@@BleuSageGaming You never had to push it down in the first place, Nintendo just made it have that ability so it'd look more like a VCR which drops tapes down into a small area where the tape is actually read once inserted, tighter pins makes pushing it completely useless. The reason for this change was indeed because of the video game crash in America with the NES that got released being their second redesign (the first was rejected by stores for looking too much like a videogame console). Go look at the Famicom and you'll see this stuff was never needed for functionality, they're the same system after and play the exact same games but it loads games from the top like pretty much every other console ever with no spring mechanism bending the pins.
Looks like the wannabe know-it-all was you.
Not only that, but the later releases of the NES everywhere were top loaders. It had nothing to do with people putting drinks on the system.
I managed a video game store from 1992-2006. We had a pretty nice side hustle replacing the 72 pin connectors. We'd order them for like $2.00 a piece, spend 5 minutes replacing them for our customers, and charged like $15.00 (which people were glad to pay). We did this all the way up until the store closed in 2012. When the original Playstation came around, we would also clean those consoles, and also kept a few of the CD readers on hand (from decks with defective controller ports, or other issues not related to the CD reader), and would replace these as well. It was easy money for us, and helped our customers out too.
10 things I've known for 10 years. thanks for the refresh on these known things
Jesus, did you even know there was a Super Nintendo?
Probably not
I want a Super 🥔
Ben P OMG whatttt i thought the first nintendo console was the nintendo 64
Overlord Pug what
eLi FILMS it was a joke
I did not knew that you can press the Y button! Sweet!
You can also press A! The more you know. ;)
WAT
What would be shocking if they made the B button press able... that would be shocking...
An a press is an a press. You can't say it's just half
After over 20 years, I can finally beat that first bee mini-boss in Megaman X!
ABS Plastic yellows because the butadiene polymer will readily photocatalyse and the chemical products cause the discoloration. The use of or proportion of TBBP-A is completely irrelevant to the yellowing- It is the proportion of UV Stabilisers and UV Absorbers, which have been intentionally added to ABS plastics effectively since their inception that causes different plastics to exhibit the problem at different rates. The "flame retardants cause yellowing" concept was an untested hypothesis that attempted to explain how retrobrite worked, and seems to now be being spread as a truth, but the hypothesis didn't make any sense, particularly since it meant that elemental bromine was leeching from the compounds into these plastics- If that was true we'd be worried about more than just the appearance, given Bromine is heavily toxic, corrosive, and a known carcinogen.
Me: looks at thumbnail Me: I NEVER KNEW I COULD PRESS BUTTONS ON AN SNES CONTROLLER
"10 things i didnt know about the snes"
Thimbnail: -pointing at Y button-
Me: wow! Had no idea the snes had a Y button!
This is all stuff almost any gamer form the 90's knows.
It's true, I'm a 90s kid and I remember them all.
Only 90s kids will remember
I'm 2009 and I know
Btw on sis account
The only one that I didn't know about was the "not a coaster", but I also didn't use mine as one either.
well I know I want those 13 Minutes of my life back all of this is common knowledge to any gamer alive at the time
Jason Paterson I don't think youtube does refunds for time.
It's why you avoid this channel as much as you can.
"If you haven't clicked the like button" ...it's probably because it's only a few seconds in, and you haven't even started the list!
64KRAM Or you know the video is crap.
Sure sign of a hack, asking for likes etc before the video itself has begun.
Glad i found this video! Didn't know what the Super Gameboy was used for!
@ 6:50 what game is that? It looks very Earthbound-esque
Fun Fact: Nintendo peripherals like the mouse and the golf club were made kid size because....THEY WERE MADE TO BE USED BY KIDS.
Nik Davis
Or in the case of the golf club, you don't want to fucking wreck your entire room.
A big LOL to shitty, discolored Super Nintendos being "all the rage" online.
I was born after the SNES and never owned one, but I literally knew of every single one of those things. Except the last, which happens to be something it can't do, not something it "can"
My God. This is painfully stupid.
Most of this was common knowledge to people who grew up in the 90s.
@@Adolgos01 most? My 1 year old nephew knows this crap
"10 things your snes can do"
"not hold a drink"
Yeah, uh... The reason SNES games load directly into the top is because
A) The Japanese Super Famicom systems were modeled on the Famicom, which was a top-loading system.
B) The front-loading gimmick of the NES was only put there to distance the system from other video systems by making it feel more like a VCR or computer disk drive (see the book "Game Over") so as to not be associated with Atari. By the time the SNES came out, there was no need for that level of subterfuge.
C) By the time the SNES was released, the connector contact defect problem with the NES (where the internal contacts are worn out by pressing the cartridge down over the lifetime of the system) was already known and becoming a problem for consumers.
While I am certain that a benefit of the SNES design was to alleviate people using the system as a storage space, it very clearly wasn't the reason for the design (even the Japanese Super Famicom is too rounded to have anything placed on its top). If you're going to make ridiculous assertions, please quote your sources.
Plus, the "not a coaster" thing isn't really something the SNES CAN do, but something it CANNOT.
Brendan Dawson Just in case you are in the market for an SNES, the original full-size (yellowing) version is better than the later "mini" revision for at least one reason: The original SNES supports S-video (with the appropriate A/V out cable) while the later version doesn't.
Did you knew the SNES was a device that you could play games on your TV !
I lost 10 mn of my life listening to you giving fact that EVERYBODY knew (I spare 2 mn for the golf club and the baseball bat that I indeed didn't knew, cause they never crossed the Atlantic). I feel spoiled
You are incorrect, I knew about nearly all of these things
Claims its only early release snes that turn yellow then shows clip of a yellow later revision. You can tell it's a later revision if it has the sticker that warns about powering off before changing games. The early revision also have four rubber pads on the bottom instead of two. These ones seem to be less reliable than the later revisions. You are not lucky if you have one of the early ones.
When they said that I was confused because mine has managed to keep its original gray color and was a launch unit.
Lmao bro I hope this was suppose to be a comedy! " get ready to be blown away" trust me i was 😂😂😂
I dont know why you are telling us such obvious things about the SNES. I mean the Zapper, the golf stick and the gameboy adapter arent really things that were kept from the public.
I only knew about the gameboy adapter and zapper but I don't know why all these different peripherals weren't just one entry and half of the entries were just games on the console which, unless I was looking for "best games on the SNES", isn't something I want to see.
the zapper was included in a few box+game thing deals that nintendo did
Clearly it's for people who don't know. You probably should not have clicked on it.
The last one about the design change being because the NES was used as a coaster is horseshit lol. It was changed because the side load design was a poor one. After time playing different games the pins would bend and it would cause the dreaded blinking light/screen.
And we all thought you had to blow into the cartridge and system 😂.
UberStarFkr It also overheated since the position of the loader interfered with the ventilation.
You used horseshit in a sentence! Awesome! We need to bring back that and calling people a horse's ass!
There was an article in Nintendo Power before the SNES was actually released. They talked with the designer of the system and I'm pretty sure it mentioned this a one reason for the curved top. Either way this is hardly a secret.
UberStarFkr
Now there's also something about the NES in that the NES PSU has an output voltage of 9V AC, so it outputs Alternating Current rather than Direct, which when contrasted with the Famicom, this would totally fry a Famicom.
I mean, this might not totally be in line with the topic, but I still find that interesting.
Nintendo did say in a Nintendo Power issue that the design was on purpose because people were setting drinks on the original NES. It was done so nothing could be set on top of it.
Wow... completely useless waste of time. The video should be called “10 things you already knew about your SNES”.
"Home alone type ingenuity was all the rage" Yes - this kid isn't old enough to truly understand :)
"It could turn yellow, especially if you store it in the toilet" *holds up snes covered in feces.

Bad video over all, especially that last fact. How is "not being a coaster" something that you never knew your old super Nintendo "COULD" do?
This dude really put a screenshot of “we’re back: a dinosaur story” when he said the words “we’re back” in the opening lmao
Of course the golf club was made for a 10-year-old. Who do you think the Super NES was marketed to? "adults" in the early 90's didn't play video games, lol... That is something kids these days just don't understand.
Nikola Tesla and they still don’t play Nintendo. Sony, Microsoft and formally Sega are the adult consoles.

Hey guys, great job on the video, the top #1 was fascinating and makes complete sense. I knew a couple things on the list, but keep rolling the retro game and consoles too ten! I consider myself a buff, and find your videos a fun challenge.

What do you have when you scratch a playstation game? A fifty dollar coaster.

*10 Peripherals that SNES Had.
There I fixed it for you.
10 commonly known facts about the snes/sfc
Na, you gotta say it like “ES ... EN ... EE ... ES”
These are all things basicly everyone knows a SNES could do.
I new all of them... accept I didn't no it could go online...that's awesome
(Sigh...) First off: That is a Horrendous Voice!
Secondly: Again with filling the list with peripherals? It's not as bad as your N64 version, but this is just atrocious either way. And I know that Fact 1 & Fact 10 aren't related to peripherals, but they certainly have been talked about before.
Third: There really isn't that much to talk about when it comes to making a list of facts for this console. Though then again, you COULD have made MORE entries that talk about the SNES directly instead of wasting our time with EIGHT entries of Peripherals.
Finally: Despite the fact that I was born in 2000, I did have an SNES growing up. So I do have at least SOME credibility in knowing some of the facts about this console. So to see you squander upon trying to make a list for what you call an "Old" gaming system is just ridiculous. If anything, the SNES I once had is more functional than say...

how should we know if its good or not if we not watch it @happy fox productions?
i watched it, i hated the many wrong and/or basic facts that he sells us as big discoveries and many peopld complain about it. and thats good so. he cant make better videos when all you do is blowing sugar in his ass. if its shit, you can say it.
@MasterKOfficial I was talking to Thomas. I was telling him (not anybody else) that if he didn't like peripherals and that kind of stuff, just don't watch it.
The existence of widely known peripherals does not qualify as facts.
I never knew Paul Rudd was in a SNES commercial.
I love me some Super Scope. My buddy and I played the hell out of Battle Clash, that game where you shot up the different mechs in one on one battles. Such an amazing game for the day haha.
