If you're wondering about the shape, that was due to the number one reason for ruined NES units was spilled liquid.  NOA altered the shape of SNES so that it was difficult to set a drink on it.

Still a pretty dumb justification for taking the sleek and nice looking JP/PAL design and making it look butt ugly.

Hey, i wasn't saying I like the decision, only why the decisions were made.



I remember my mind being blown when my friend told me the bumps on the top of the controller were actually shoulder buttons, lol.

The SNES US design is kinda ugly, but I dunno I still like it. Something about this just screams "Christmas nirvana circa 1991"

I can't wait for a Super NES Mini.
