Super Nintendo

Object 'Super Nintendo' belongs to the 'Video Game Consoles' theme.

Connection to Nintendo Entertainment System:

The Super Nintendo was a giant technological leap forward from its mother system, the NES. The latter stored information in 16-bit chunks, and the SNES doubled this, providing developers 32-bit data and a processor to work with them. Super Nintendo came with the SPC sound system, blowing the regular Nintendo's chirpy sounds out of the water. SNES games had SRAM, the ability to save a significant amount of data without the unreliability of NES savefiles. The SNES controller had three times as many non-directional non-start-select buttons. Altogether it was a revolutionary leap forward.

Connection to Sony Playstation:

For many games, especially RPG fans, the Playstation, by wresting the market away from the SNES, finally broke the decade-long stranglehold which Nintendo had on the entire console market.

Connection to Nintendo 64:

Just as SNES doubled the number of bits of the NES, the N64 doubled it again, hence the name. The N64 is basically a souped-up SNES: all 'round tech improvements but no really revolutionary innovation.
