I was shocked when Super Nintendo Entertainment System first came out of the early picture in the early 1990s. Although, when the SNES came out I was much mature to say goodbye old type of video games.

But I remember the first Nintendo Entertainment System was amazing and groundbreaking in itself. The main drawback for Nintendo was that The Sega Genesis and the Turbo Grafix 16 were already introduced in the market. Even though the wait for the arrival of SNES was worth but it was late for the third generation of video game consoles. I still play on one of my three SNES I own and are my favorites among all third generation consoles.

Super Nintendo controller was amazing and was loaded with features. The Super Nintendo controller had twice as many buttons on the face as the original NES controller and twin shoulder buttons as well. The Super Nintendo controller set the stage for the future controllers as we can see now a days video game consoles. The style of the Super Nintendo controller brought options to the SNES games that would otherwise not be possible. One of the most popular SNES games made was Street Fighter II and was probably one of the most popular console games ever invented. Each and every button on the controller was not only used but necessary. It was so nicely arranged for the game that it was truly a new experience. Super Nintendo controller was vital to the game play. Street Fighter II wouldn’t have been the same exciting game with any other controller. Sega realized this change, although a bit late, and came out with their new version of Super Nintendo controller for their Genesis. To their luck, the controller lacked shoulder buttons, and wasn’t even nearly as comfortable as the controller of SNES.

Current game controllers haven’t changed much since then. Now, the controllers have newer grips that help to trigger buttons easily but the shape of the controllers is similar to the Super Nintendo controllers. Microsoft’s Xbox controllers have a similar color scheme of the buttons as that was on the old SNES controller. Since, its invention the Super Nintendo controller excelled in its performance and price and will continue to do so for generations.
