The '''Super Nintendo Entertainment System''', often abbreviated as '''Super NES''' or '''SNES''', is a home video game console made by [[Nintendo]]. The console was released in Japan in 1990 as the '''Super Famicom''', and it was released in North America in 1991 and in Europe and Australia in 1992. ''[[Super Metroid]]'' was released for the SNES in 1994.


The system was a great pastime as well as inspiration to other consoles. The console consists of 16-bit graphics, starting the "birth" of the generation of video games. More graphical enhancements are Mode 7 graphics, as shown in the popular racing game ''F-Zero'', and "polygon" 3-D looking graphics, as shown in the popular shooter ''Star Fox''. In most parts of Asia, the system is known as the '''Super Famicom'''.
Several SNES games, including ''Super Metroid'', were re-released on the [[Virtual Console]] for [[Wii]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], and [[Wii U]], the SNES Classic Edition, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online.
