I have recently found and gotten working a Nintendo entertainment system, and a Super Nintendo entertainment system and some things for them. I was wondering which you people thought was better. I quite like some of the games for the snes, but I like the equipment and feel of the original better. what do you all think?

Too much of the NES’ library is a confusing mess, there are standouts on all systems sure, but by modern standards, the lows there are way too low. If you have some of the more famous NES titles, then you’re good I’d say. The SNES also has it’s fair share of bad games too, but I find that generally speaking, a SNES game that you pull off the shelf at random is going to be better than any random NES game you grab.
tl;dr: get the famous NES games or don’t get any at all, focus more on the SNES

good point, however I got them at a friend’s house who was trying to get some of their stuff out. there was four nes(es?) sitting around. I grabbed mostly games im familiar with, as I have played several on an emulator (retropi for raspberry pi)
oh, and @Krelikan, I did find a gamecube there, but no controllers, disks, nor memory cards. but I do get to go back to help them find some more things and possibly grab another system…

I didn’t grow up with either but I think SNES games are much better.

SNES has super Metroid so it’s clearly superior, but the only thing I find myself taking away from this post is that 2020 was two years ago.

I’d say SNES because it has better games, better graphics, and overall better quality.
Aight now time to hide in my bunker until all of the NES fans are done raging at me

Which one did you end up keeping?
While I’m generally not much into this generation of consoles (I prefer anything N64 and upwards), I’d pick the SNES. The controllers are much nicer, the NES controller gets uncomfortable to hold after a short while (for me, at least). Both have great games, but off the top of my head there’s more SNES games I really like than NES games.

I actually have both now, and while theres a good selection for both consoles, I have to agree that the SNES is overall better (though that consoles Fzero and Zelda titles are a heavy part of that, plus it being easier to clean when the need arises)
Wow, this all has been a real flashback to my early boards days, lol, Ive grown so much since then and my writing style online has changed a lot
