How did such a large number of people decide on calling it “regular Nintendo” before having internet?
Also, I hate when people call it “Ness”
I’m guessing once the snes came out and the ‘regular’ just made sense to mean ‘not-super’
Sub Nintendo.
Dom Nintendo 🥺👉👈

I worked in an Electronic Boutique (now GameStop) years and years and years ago.
I still think about the kid that came in and asked for a sness."Sness" is way less unacceptable than "ness" to me, for some reason.
Same ppl call their weedwhacker a “strimmer”
I've heard it pronounced "ess-ness" and "snezz" and "sness"
All are equally terrible.
"Snezz" is fine.
Source: Called it "Snezz".
It only really became NES once the SNES came out.
Before that it was just Nintendo.
I still just call it "Nintendo".
Also, I hate when people call it “Ness”
Do you hate it when they write it?
To my ears it would be the same.
Then you must hate many Europeans
I’ll give the Europeans a pass, but not the French.
