I am going full grumpy old man with this but I absolutely want to punch everyone that says the console names in that way out loud.
Also googling, apparently it originated in some old UK marketing. Seriously people, no one cares about Europe. Why the hell would you mimic their awful old advertising. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday." Math Murderer after getting his appendix removed. ...

Sness was definitely used when it was current. I don't recall ever hearing people uses Ness though.

I got yelled at by the EB games employee when I went in to buy the NES Classic for my dad because I said "ness" and she had apparently in the past had multiple people on the phone ask if they had the "ness" in stock only for them to show up and learn that she had misheard them and they actually wanted the SNES classic, which led to some angry customers.

they were just called nintendo and super nintendo a lot but i did use the terms nes and snes and then when nintendo 64 came out it just made sense to stop calling them "nintendo".

My first console was the SNES and my family always referred to is as the Super Nintendo. When I later played the NES I always said N-E-S because it felt weird to just call it "Nintendo". I think it's because by that time there were already so many Nintendo consoles out there that the name "Nintendo" was more of a brand and less of a console name to me.
I only really say "ness" and "sness" now out of laziness. --- The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. ... Copied to Clipboard!
