What do you usually call the Super Nintendo Entertainment System?

If you don't call it the superino snezerino, block me right now you dense nonintellectual mother fucker

We all called it Snes (one word) in our area, so that's what stuck with me.

Growing up it was S N E S or Super Nintendo. However, being exposed to so many videos and podcasts where people say Snes and Nes, its starting to rub off on me. It's a good shorthand, and who wants to say full words in 2017? I ain't got time for that shit.

As a kid we either called it "Super Nintendo" or just "Super". But just Super is never an option in polls like these.

Super Nintendo if I'm talking. Snes if I'm writing.

I don't think the European version was called "Entertainment System", so just Super Nintendo. Looking at the American version, I can see the need for clarification, since it doesn't look very entertaining at all.

Snes or Super Nintendo.

I also just say Super Nintendo and once in a while i will say S N E S. But i wholeheartedly agree that snes sounds dumb as hell.

Super Nintendo. It was a huge cultural shock when I first heard people call it Snes.

Not sure if it is a Canada thing, but I grew up calling it an S-N-E-S or the Super-Nintendo.

We usually said Snes in my area, while occasionally defaulting to Super Nintendo.

Snes. Single word. Sometimes S-N-E-S if someone doesn't quite understand. It took me a while to realise it stood for "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" so I didn't even think about that as an option for a while. The quickest and fastest option makes sense to me though. Plus I generally look to say acronyms as words if I can reasonably do so, that's half the fun of a good acronym.

I remember someone, possibly Garnett Lee of 1UP, calling it the "S-Ness" and everyone around just breaking out in laughter because they'd never heard it said that way before. I can see how someone would get to that conclusion but for some reason "Sness" just made more sense.

I say SNES in the most annoying way I can.

Just snes as a word. The NES here was simply called Nintendo or later Nintendo 8-bit.

I say both snes as a word and S-N-E-S.

Alwasys just called it a Super Nintendo and the NES as a kid I called it the Regular Nintendo. lol Think I might be alone with this NES name though

I used to call it the "Super" when it was new. Nintendo 64 was just "64" and the NES was just "Nintendo."

The missing options are "Super" and "Snez" (not to be confused with Snes). Now I call it S.N.E.S. or Snes or Super N.E.S.

Regardless, it's clear. The S-N-E-S people are on the wrong side of history.

Do you people call the NAACP the Naaahcup? When a series of letters are arranged to each stand for a different word, it's kind of customary to pronounce those letters separately, as a shortened version of a series of words.

@spaceinsomniac: As others have pointed out, that's nonsense. If there's an easy-to-pronounce acronym, people default to it. Like laser, radar and gif/jif.

Super Nintendo when talking. SNES when typing it out.

I don't think I've heard anyone actually pronounce SNES as one word in everyday life.

Super Nintendo for as long as I can remember.

Either by Super Nintendo or letters. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "snes" as a word. That's interesting.

Either by letter of Super N E S.

I use "SNES" and "S-N-E-S" interchangeably. I probably use "S-N-E-S" more frequently though.

I will say though that with the coming of the snes classic I have been saying it as one word more just cause otherwise it's kind of a mouthful.

But it's wrong and I don't like it.

Super N.E.S most of the time but I also say Super Nintendo. Saying snes as a word just sounds silly to me.

Snes. It's what me and my mates always called it when we were kids.

@dodobasse: Wrong side of history? Lol it's whatever your circle of friends called it. I don't think we were too bothered about the correct name usage.

Sorry. DP.

@berserkingguts: Well, yes. It was a joke.

I’m from the UK, so it was always “snez”, and the one before it was retroactively said as “nez”.
