How do you say this thing's name?

Let the results of this poll forever decide what it shall be called
 
Nintendo Entertainment System Pro
 
Grew up spelling it out, but in recent years with more podcasts and video, I’ve defected to Sness.
 
"Sness" and "Snezz" people are cops.

It's S.N.E.S. When I was a kid, it was most often Super Nintendo (as sanctioned by Biggie) or Super N.E.S. Nobody called it those other two garbage terms.
 
I grew up calling it the Super Nintendo because there wasn't, like, internet or anything to see what other people called it. So I called it what it said on the box. Years later seeing "SNES" in magazines and online had me calling it "es en ee es" but then I was an adult by the time youtube came along and I finally heard people saying "sness."

What really blew my mind was when I started following Nintendolife a few years ago and heard English people say "snez"
 
Aside from a short lapse of judgement where I actually uttered the word "Sness" it’s always been Super Nintendo or S.N.E.S.

Personally, I call it the S. N. E. S. aka chaotic good.

People who call it the "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" are lawful good.

"Super Nintendo" is true neutral.

People outside of Japan who use "Super Famicom" are chaotic neutral.

Anyone calling it the "Sness" (or even worse, a "Snez") is chaotic evil, and a heretic to our lord and savior Shigeru "Jesus Christ" Miyamoto. Do better smh /s
 
As a kid I always called it Super Nintendo. Tbh that's still what I tend to call it, although I use the others sometimes.

"Super Nintendo Chalmers" of course!

Serious: I think in Germany it was commonly simply named "Super Nintendo".
 
I remember this question from one of the other boards.

Sness or Snez were common at my school in England.

N.E.S. is fine, but S.N.E.S. is one letter too many to have to spell out every time.
