Poll: How do you say "NES/SNES"?

[AndrewTS 0]

Anya and I are arguing over this, at least for most NAers. I've always said "Nintendo" or "N-E-S." She says "Ness" and "Snezz." She swears up and down she's right and I'm crazy or something. I've only heard Brits say it. What do you say?

[foleyfanforever88 0]

I say a mix of choices 2 and 3: NES and Super Nintendo

[Anya 0]

It has to be NES. Saying "N.E.S" outloud is just lame.

[AndrewTS 0]

Besides Anya, does anyone else hear "Ness" and "Snez" from other people?

[Guest Smues]

Nintendo, Super Nintendo, N-E-S and S-N-E-S are how I've always said them, and I don't think I've ever heard someone call them ness or sness.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

I've only heard N.E.S and S.N.E.S.

 

They're abbreviations, so that's correct. It would be like someone saying "Psss2".

[Golgo 13 0]

Nintendo and Ness. Sness.

 

For Playstation I use the full name and for the PS2 I use initials.

"P.S.2." doesn't make up a funny word so of course I wouldn't say that. I say "P.S.X." or any other acronym that doesn't sound good as a word. NES isn't supposed to be "correct", it's just slang.

I've never ever heard anyone actually pronounce out NES as "ness". Ever in my life.

 

Usually I hear people just calling it "Nintendo" and "Super Nintendo". I've heard N-E-S also, but never really heard S-N-E-S

[Anya 0]

I am honestly surprised. I always say "NES" and everyone I know says it. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "N.E.S" out loud!

I've heard brits and this guy use "ness":

 

He talks about Devil's Crush up until like 2:30 when he starts bitching about "ness" and how much he hates it.

I say "regular nintendo" sometimes too.

Forgot about that one. "Nintendo" I'd say would be probably more common among NES kids. I'm actually more of a 16-bit child myself (only getting to play Nintendo over at my cousins until early 90s when I got the 16-bit consoles), so I don't have the same attachment to just saying "Nintendo."

N-E-S and S-N-E-S. And "Nintendo" is always reserved for the most recent Nintendo console (including the Wii).

[AndrewTS 0]

For the Wii? Haven't heard that one myself. But it doesn't need abbreviating, anyway (I don't know how you could).

I call the NES "N-E-S" and the SNES "Super Nintendo (Chalmers)". I used to use "Regular Nintendo" for the NES, back when both systems were active.

No, this cannot be. Aaaaaauuuuuuugh!

 

But when I hear "nes" I can only think of this guy:

Any time I've heard someone say it that way they sounded like an idiot. And by that, I mean the one guy I've ever heard say it like that was a dumb, smelly git that no one liked.

"Nes" and "S-Nes".

 

There is a definite European-type people/"Snezz" connection though.

 

Fuckin' madmen being forged over there.

They also seem to be the ones most likely to say "Ninty" and "Shiggy."

[Aero 0]

Regular Nintendo and Super Nintendo usually. If any of the listed, then it's spell them out.

[Guest Richard McBeef]

I used to say Regular Nintendo and Super Nintendo as I was growing up, but when I made the switch to emulators like five years ago, I started saying NES and SNES. Weird.

[luke-o 0]

Im with Anya and am really suprised people have never called it "nezz", ive always called it that. Same goes for "snezz".

 

But i have had a few people come into work and ask for games for the "nintendo" which forces the question, "what nintendo console?" Some people have done it with Sega too.
