As a 10 year old kid, the SNES simply blew me away compared to the NES. For people who didn't grow up with that era of gaming, the jump in color depth may not seem like much today, but it was massive at the time. Couple that with stuff like parallax scrolling, Mode 7, and much better audio, but also keeping the style of games I loved, it was perfect.
I know a lot are saying the jump to N64. Yes the bump in horsepower is massive, but even at the time, those graphics were pretty ugly, and time certainly hasn't been kind to it. I was a heavy PC user, so that style of graphics wasn't new to me. That coupled with a horrible lack of games meant I skipped that generation entirely.
