How did such a large number of people decide on calling it “regular Nintendo” before having internet?
Also, I hate when people call it “Ness”
I’m guessing once the snes came out and the ‘regular’ just made sense to mean ‘not-super’
Sub Nintendo.
Dom Nintendo 🥺👉👈
"You will accept Dommy Mommy Nintendo's strap on as you buy the 6 year old game that is STILL full price." whip💥
I worked in an Electronic Boutique (now GameStop) years and years and years ago.
I still think about the kid that came in and asked for a sness.
"Sness" is way less unacceptable than "ness" to me, for some reason.
It only really became NES once the SNES came out.
Before that it was just Nintendo.
I still just call it "Nintendo".
Famicom
Grandma: Calling all consoles "the Nintendo".
I'm really looking forward to pulling this crap as I get older.
Particularly about Pokémon. I grew up with Pokémon. I've played every single main game (or at least one of the two that released!) I cannot wait to call them all Pikachu just to watch a kid squirm.
You mean the pokey-mans?
Nintendo (Really, it's a Playstation 2)
I prefer gameboy (really it's a PSP)
I've actually turned into an Old Man and have referred to the Switch as "Gameboy" unironically.
The red Gameboy
The Virtual Boy?
Excuse me. It's called "Mans Crowning Achievement to the Gods", not just the virtual boy. Show it some respect.
Crowning achievement to optometrists maybe
I remember when the best NES emulator was NESticle. Hard to not pronounce it "ness" after that.
I say "N.E.S.", but also "Super Nintendo."
Hi Super Nintendo Chalmers!
Sness
In my country; all the retro consoles (up to playstation) are called atari.
Everyone I knew called/calls it the "nez".
Same. Nez and Snez
"Regular Nintendo" is redundant.
To me it's just "Nintendo". Everything after gets a subtitle.
I know too many people for whom „a Nintendo“ means a Nintendo DS. Perhaps a generational thing.
Where does "The original Nintendo" fall on this chart?
Somewhere off the bottom, shaped like a deck of playing cards.
Which is the unleaded Nintendo?
Intendo as the little kids might say
"8-bit Nintendo"
That Famicom close that added DRM
"Normal Nintendo" is what we call it.
I ... dont think I ever realised they called it Ness and not Nes.
In my language we just called it small Nintendo.
Rough translation, but here it was "Ordinary Nintendo", as opposed to the Super Nintendo
I thought my family were the only ones! Must have been to differentiate it from the "Super Nintendo" we also had.
Sub Nintendo
Both subs and supras love~~d~~ a good cartridge blowjob.
Mario Machine
