The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), was released in 1990 (Japan), America (1991), and RoW in 1992.

Worldwide sales were over 49 million units.

Enhancement chips for some of the systems games, were integrated on the actual game circuit boards, which helped to overcome some of the consoles hardware limitations.

The SNES was one of two parties, in the 16-bit console wars, the other party being the Sega MegeDrive. Advertisements during this era reflected this well.

Launch titles for the SNES were of a very high quality, and also of a high replay value. Super Mario World, F-Zero, SimCity, and Pilotwings, were all well recieved launch titles.

The SNES was discontinued in 2003 (Japan).

The most popular game, was Super Mario World, shifting over 20 million units, mostly due to it being a pack-in game. The highest selling stand-alone game, was Street Fighter 2 World Warrior, with over 6 million units sold.
