Talk about pleb filters.

A better question is why did they redesign it for the west? Why purple?

>>382120007
We are talking about the country who couldn't tell the difference between a Wii and a Wii U.

What does that even mean?
Also this is a >>>/vr/ topic

I like the purple design

>>382120007

It doesn't make sense because I've always heard that story that Nintendo designed and branded the american NES as well, an electronic device that entertains you instead of a "video game" system. Of course I've never bought that. All video game consoles looked like standard shelf electronics except for the top loading. Everyone knew it was still a video game system and did nothing else. But that's hindsight.

But still, why purple? Adults played the NES, the SNES looks like a toy in comparison and nintendo marketed harder to children. Seems like they shrank their audience and video games became an activity for children for decades.

>>382119592
US design look more modern.
JPN design look like old computer stuff
I like both to be honest.

>>382120637
Do you live under a rock or something

>>382120007
The real question is.
Why did they redesign the SNES only for US Markets, when they redesigned the NES for EU and US Markets?

>>382119592
Vaporwave aesthetic usually features classic 80s-90s tech, which closer resembles to the Japanese style than the US style.

>>382119592
JPN Console > NA Console
NA Controller > JPN Controller

Don't tell me the cable would be that short?

I'm 25. This is the first time I see anyone saying that the buttons and switches are purple. I'm colorblind, it is blue to me.

I know right
I'm pretty sure purple is just a conspiracy and doesn't really exist

>>382123662
>Why did they redesign the SNES only for US Markets
Region locking.

>>382123662
>Why did they redesign the SNES only for US Markets
The redesigner said the other designs looked too soft,"like a loaf of bread."

I don't understand why people like it.

I think the color matters less, in the factor they marketed it as a full machine.
The super famicon had a lot of plugins and even had low tier streaming service. There's a Zelda game that was distributed on parts live. There was a strict window in which you could actually play those games. As well the return and wipe disk that allowed you to use carts to change games. And finally the additional plugins. The SNES that everyone knows didn't have that stuff. It was pretty much a complete box upon purchase the only adapter plug for it was the gameboy adapter cart.
The super famicon had a lot of features that weren't with the SNES, because the western areas didn't have the same infrastructure.

They increased every difficulty level by one (medium was renamed easy, hard was renamed medium, etc.) in the US release because they felt ... Americans were more hardcore gamers than Japs?

i prefer the american console with the european controller the colors are nicer the the purple

>>382127419
But anon. You get to see an extremely rare blue super nintendo only colorblind faggots can see

It's a shit consolation prize, but be thankful you aren't one of the people who get to see a black super nintendo

Purple is a Christian color associated with Christmas. Makes a lot of sense to do it like this.

>>382135896
They might as well have marketed it as NinJesus or Christendo but they probably realized Jews hate Jesus and so toned it down to only having the color.

>>382135039
Well, what does that mean?

There a rumor that it was redesigned for the USA to stop fat assed American kids putting their coke cans on top. Nintendo were fucking sick of the amount of ruined NES systems sent back due to drink spillage.

There's also the mindset that America would only buy something which looked 'badass' because, you know, they're fucking morons.

The truth is probably somewhere in between.

my god lol the Jap and UK got some shit that looks like an old tape player I would go jogging with.Wow for once the american version is the shit.

It looks blue to me. Either I'm being rused or I somehow lived 25 years without knowing I'm colorblind.

>>382136513
I think he means kinesthetic

>>382136731
You're just making up words

>>382136562
It's possible that you didn't realize.
I only found out when I was 18 or 17 by playing a game on a friend's cellphone.
There are many ranges of colorblindness. I actually can see purple, but only stronger shades of it. That one is not one of them.

>>382136849
There's only a hint of purple to begin with. It's much closer to blue than it is to purple

>>382136792

>>382136950
its a darker shade of purple not blue at all. I think you might be color blind.

>>382136849
>>382136950
Then I guess I do have a.. small sort of colorblindness? It's kinda mindblowing that I'm only now discovering it honestly.

Just my opinion but US snes looks awful. I just don't understand the need to change the classic design for the united states citizens

The Super Famicom and SNES are both really nice looking.

>>382136950

Anon, I...

Americans are insecure and colors and happiness made them upset
Have you seen modern hollywood films? all grey and blue

That explains a lot about why the N64 was shaped the way it was.

>>382120007
I think after the NES they were just deadset on the idea of redesigning their console for the West, without any real rhyme or reason. Clearly they realized how pointless it was.

I honestly can't remember what the real SNES looked like anymore, and pictures on the internet are telling at least 2 different stories

The left is obviously purple, but the right is much bluer

I am not color blind. I have tested myself to have 100% color vision: http://www.colormunki.com/game/huetest_kiosk

It's just hard to tell violet and violet-ish blue. Don't worry that any of you are colorblind.

>>382137505
The big image is the color it's supposed to be. The camera put too much blue on the other pic the OP used.

>>382136792
Seems like he is, >>382136980 kinesthetic is a real word though.

Purple is very difficult for cameras to photograph accurately. At least in my experience

For some reason I remember it being more blue though. Though I also remembered it being Berenstein Bears

Apparently the original design was to colorful and looks too kiddie for Americans.
Just like how Kirby get angry eyebrows and this years e3 had those gritty boxers to promote the colorful game arms (pic related).

Looks violet-blue because of the specific camera used.
