The '''Super Nintendo Entertainment System''', also commonly known as the '''Super Nintendo''' or '''SNES''', is [[Nintendo|Nintendo's]] second home console, its predecessor being the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. The console reached major success in its years and still remains one of the best-selling systems to date.


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.
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'''.
