Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Template:Infobox video game console
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), also known as the Super NES or Super Nintendo, is a home video game console developed by Nintendo that was released in 1990 in Japan and South Korea, 1991 in North America, 1992 in Europe and Australasia, and 1993 in South America. The SNES is Nintendo's second programmable home console, following the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The console introduced advanced graphics and sound capabilities compared with other consoles at the time.
History
The SNES was released in Japan as the Super Famicom (SFC) on November 21, 1990. The system was released in North America on August 23, 1991, and in Europe and Australasia in 1992. Despite its late start, the SNES became the best-selling console of the 16-bit era, even though it faced intense competition from Sega's Genesis console.
Hardware
The SNES features a 16-bit Ricoh 5A22 central processing unit (CPU) running at approximately 3.58 MHz. It includes 128 KB of RAM and 64 KB of video RAM. The console's graphics are powered by the Picture Processing Unit (PPU), which supports multiple background layers and up to 128 sprites on screen at once. The SNES can display up to 256 colors simultaneously from a palette of 32,768.
The sound hardware is driven by the Sony SPC700 and a digital signal processor (DSP), which together provide high-quality audio. The system supports various audio formats, including pulse-code modulation (PCM) and frequency modulation (FM) synthesis.
Games
The SNES library includes many critically acclaimed and best-selling games. Some of the most notable titles include:
- Super Mario World
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
- Super Metroid
- Donkey Kong Country
- Final Fantasy VI
- Chrono Trigger
Accessories
Several accessories were released for the SNES, including:
Legacy

The console's influence can be seen in the design of subsequent Nintendo consoles, including the Nintendo 64 and the Nintendo Switch.
