I’m guessing once the snes came out and the ‘regular’ just made sense to mean ‘not-super’

I worked in an Electronic Boutique (now GameStop) years and years and years ago.
I still think about the kid that came in and asked for a sness.

It only really became NES once the SNES came out.

Before that it was just Nintendo.

I still just call it “Nintendo”.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone refer to it as “ness”. I think I’d be confused – what does the Loch Ness Monster have to do with gaming? – until they clarified.

Also, I hate when people call it “Ness”

Do you hate it when they write it?

To my ears it would be the same.

I’m really looking forward to pulling this crap as I get older.

Particularly about Pokémon. I grew up with Pokémon. I’ve played every single main game (or at least one of the two that released!) I cannot wait to call them all Pikachu just to watch a kid squirm.

I prefer gameboy (really it’s a PSP)

Lol yeah I experienced this also.

In addition to ‘run down stairs and get a “coke”’ when In reality its a Dr pepper
