    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’

      It only really became NES once the SNES came out.

      Before that it was just Nintendo.

      I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone refer to it as “ness”. I think I’d be confused – what does the Loch Ness Monster have to do with gaming? – until they clarified.

      Do you hate it when they write it?

      To my ears it would be the same.

        I’ll give the Europeans a pass, but not the French.
