The original Mortal Kombat had been released the previous year on home consoles and was massive success. You could play and interact with other players, but you had to physically be in a building that housed arcade console machines. Back then this would be the equivalent of today’s online gaming, but on a much smaller scale. But it that wasn’t the main reason I wanted to get the Super Nintendo.ĭuring the summer of 1994, Mortal Kombat 2 was a really big success in the arcades.
#Snes versions tv
Being able to play your handheld games on a TV wasn’t something you could do up until this point. This was a really cool technology for the time. You could then play your library of Gameboy games on a colour TV. Super Gameboy was essentially a SNES game cartridge shaped adapter that would let you insert Gameboy cartridges. I bought the SNES and bundled it with the brand new Super Gameboy. The Super NES was such a technological leap from the original NES, and miles ahead of the Gameboy. To this date it’s still my favourite video game console. I bought SNES along with a Super Gameboy, from a Zeller’s at a nearby mall. It was summer vacation in 1994, and I was visiting family friends in Toronto. Three years later in 1994 I managed to save up all my money to buy my own SNES. I was also pretty happy with my existing NES and Gameboy systems.
I was 12 at the time and didn’t have the money to buy the console on launch date.
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System, or SNES for short, was released in North America on August 23rd, 1991.
