Can't wait!

Unfortunately, it doesn't look as if that's a controller for a real system from that time period. It's definitely not a SNES controller, and I think the colors aren't exactly right for a Super Famicom controller. Also, the title of the episode mentions an "8-Bit Princess", and I don't think there were any 8-bit systems whose controllers had that many buttons. Were there?

I wonder if they'll show any real games on Sheldon's TV?

The only current show that looks worse than that is the Will & Grace reboot. I mute the TV whenever there's an ad to avoid brain damage or death.

That's the original Famicom controller.

Famicom controller


Should it not be the NES controller? He lives in Texas, not Japan.

I meant to say Super Famicom but anyway I guess it was SNES too.

Oh then that explains that controller. The original was like that though. I'm going to assume they gave him the SNES mini controller for the show.

I seen the color ones before in america. The dull color is what comes with the system. Third party controllers would have different colors.

It looks to be a SNES controller hooked up to a front-loading NES with a Master System cartridge sticking up from the center of the NES.

From my limited exposure to TBBT, it would seem to me that his childhood would have fallen more into the PS1/Saturn/N64 gen.

It was actually a completely fictional video game that they were playing during the show (a Zelda 1-type game). The grandmother said she won the system in a bowling tournament, so I guess if you care you can assume it was one of those cheap knockoff systems.

FYI, this review said, "This episode was adorable, I loved every minute of it."

America has a different SNES controller compared to the rest of the world because Nintendo is a horrible company that doesn't know how to localize their products.

Yeah, some 3rd party controllers looked like everyone elses (my grandma had a turbo controller with coloured buttons), but the default in NA was the dull purple and less purple colours.

Exactly, it is probably a turbo controller.

He's in his late 30s I think in the show so it would put him closer to early/late 80s era.

That's a NES box sitting atop the TV but SNES joypads they're utilising. One would think that this show - with a purportedly-considerable nerd/geek fanbase ratio - would be rather-more diligent when it came to such detail.

Set in East Texas in 1989, the SNES controller didn't even exist then! The SNES was officially released in North America two years later, IIRC...

the show has never really been for or even about nerds. they don't give a fuck about those details.

According to how people use the term "millennial" a person who's first console was the NES would be one too.

When I saw the preview for the episode I thought it was strange, but I just assumed they were doing the the "generic" thing that happens a lot in fiction. I guess I should have known that people would get up in arms about it.
