Growing up I only ever heard it referred to as Super Nintendo. Or more colloquially, Nintendo. Like, y'all weren't really saying "I wanna play Sega Genesis!" were you? In my household it was just Sega.

When I was younger in the 90s it was "Super EN-EE-ES" or "Super Nintendo" interchangeably.

We didn't call the Super Nintendo "Nintendo"... That's what you called the OG NES. And we definitely didn't call the Genesis a "Sega", just "Genesis".

Interesting. Maybe it's a location thing? I grew up in Central California.

Everything you love was always woke, and its less woke than it used to be, and that's why its not as good anymore, because its less woke. Also you suck.

I never heard anyone calling an NES or SNES a Ness or Sness or Snezz until like a decade ago.

I am in my mid thirties and grew up with these consoles. So I have no idea when people started using it. Might be a regional thing, but I feel like it's something much newer spawned on the internet.

People used like
NES
Super NES
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
and
Regular Nintendo once the super one came out.

For me it was "ssness" and "genesis", and I only heard S N E S when I moved to a less ethnic area, so I always figured it was the spawn of multilingual kids.

Megadrive was some mythic internet thing for a long time lmao

It definitely is. Same situation as you. Mid-30s, never heard anyone verbally refer to them as "ness" or "sness" until the past decade or so.

Also, on the subject of weirdly saying acronyms phonetically, I heard someone at one of the GDQ streams refer to "SOTN" as "Soten".

I grew up calling the NES the "regular nintendo" to distinguish it from the super nintendo. I've also called it the "old nintendo" even though at this point the SNES is practically just as old. Its still a hard habit to break.
