Dude changed the world.

I’ll crank one out in his memory once I get to work!!!

SNES will always be the best IMO. Can’t convince me otherwise.

Christmas 91 was awesome. When me and my brother opened our "shared present" and it was a SNES we could've been on the moon.

I think it's time to create a subthread called OBITUARIES.

Too much death on the front page of CP. :shake:

Has to be. It was the console for the original Killer Instinct, the greatest fighting game ever made.

I played Super Mario World and Ken Griffey Jr baseball on a loop. RIP

If there room for a 5th head on Mt Rushmore for him?

I played Legend of Zelda thousands of times. My first real gaming experience.

Those sand things always got me!

I wish his family condolences and super condolences.

Dude made life better for millions.

RIP

It's really hard now for many of the younger generations to truly understand and appreciate how huge the NES and SNES truly were. I really believe that a lot of modern systems exist because of the popularity of the NES and SNES. One of my all time favorite games was Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Also loved Tecmo Bowl/Super Tecmo Bowl.

It wasn't pong, but it was ok

The Gameboy was pretty groundbreaking as well.
