Grandma: Calling all consoles “the Nintendo”.

flicker, 24 dni temu

I’m really looking forward to pulling this crap as I get older.

Particularly about Pokémon. I grew up with Pokémon. I’ve played every single main game (or at least one of the two that released!) I cannot wait to call them all Pikachu just to watch a kid squirm.

“Regular Nintendo” is redundant.
To me it’s just “Nintendo”. Everything after gets a subtitle.

After the Super Nintendo came out, it really did become a term for differentiating which ‘Nintendo’ you might’ve had in the 90s.

It’s pretty far from a realistic military shooter at this point, huh?

They’ve always been more about Hollywood realism than actual realism.

Both subs and supras loved a good cartridge blowjob.

I thought my family were the only ones! Must have been to differentiate it from the “Super Nintendo” we also had.

I … dont think I ever realised they called it Ness and not Nes.

BreadstickNinja, 24 dni temu

Ness was first introduced on the Super Famicom. Though he only really got popular when Super Smash Bros came out on the NES64.

In my language we just called it small Nintendo.

In the UK and Ireland, we call the SNES “the Snez”, but I’ve never heard it said that way in the States. Is that peculiar to this part of the world?

Most of the time I hear S N E S (each letter pronounced individually) or Super Nintendo.

I have heard “the Snes” (pronounced with an S sound instead of a Z), but I didn’t hear that commonly until much later, after it was considered a retro console.

dillydogg, 24 dni temu

I live in the US and me and all my friends pronounce SNES as SNess. (And NES as Ness) for what it is worth. It seems to be somewhat common as my friends who grew up on the other side of the country say it this way too.

I know too many people for whom „a Nintendo“ means a Nintendo DS. Perhaps a generational thing.

AI_toothbrush, 24 dni temu

Same for me and most people i know a nintendo is a ds(and the ds and 3ds are kinda the same for most of them)

Blackmist, 24 dni temu

There are undoubtedly people out there who still use “Nintendo” to describe literally any videogame system ever made.

dejected_warp_core, 24 dni temu

It absolutely is.

As a kid, everyone’s parents (boomers) called NES cartridges “tapes”. Considering their generation had a lot of experience with 8-track, cassette, and VHS/Betamax, it kind of makes sense. I guess every generation has this.

accideath, 24 dni temu

Yea, for my dad, everything you use a controller with is a PlayStation and every handheld is a gameboy. Funnily enough, he never had either one and I also didn’t have a PlayStation until I have moved out. The only noteable difference for him is the Sega Master System, because he did have that as a child.

everyone's parents (boomers) called NES cartridges "tapes".

My parents were very much boomers and I've never heard this. It was 'games' or 'cartridges',
