The '''Super Nintendo Entertainment System''', also known as '''Super Nintendo''', '''Super NES''' or '''SNES''', was a 16-bit video game console released by [[Nintendo]] in 1990. In Japan and South-East Asia, the equivalent was known as the '''Super Famicom''' (aka '''SFC''').

The SNES was Nintendo's second home console, following the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Whereas the earlier system had struggled in the PAL region and large parts of Asia, the SNES proved to be a global success, albeit one that could not match its predecessor's popularity in Southeast Asia and North America—due in part to increased competition from Sega's Mega Drive console (released in North America as the Genesis). Despite its relatively late start, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System became the best selling console of the 16-bit era.
