Super Nintendo had the groove on with Nintendo 64 during her college years. She started dating him for a while until their wedding. Once they got married, they moved into a house in Texas and started working in nearby Gas Stations.

Even with graphics and sound capabilities above Sega’s 16-bit machine and a solid library of games, the Super Nintendo still had a lot of catch-up to do with Sega in order to achieve world domination. The Genesis achieved solid footing in the market and Sega was prepping their 32-bit successors (yes, both the 32X and the Saturn), so Nintendo had to pull out all the stops to capture the attention of cutting-edge gamers.

F-Zero took advantage of the Super Nintendo's "Mode 7" graphics capabilities to provide awesome looking 3D tracks. The game is a futuristic racer, where the tracks are suspended in the air, and the cars hover. This game was all about one thing...speed. Thanks to the 3D scaling and rotating effects of the SNES, this game really made you feel like you were blazing through the courses at top speed. F-Zero is not without its flaws, though. First off, there are only 4 cars to choose from...and second, there is no 2 player mode (which is a real shame).

Despite a later release date than the Sega Genesis the Super Nintendo emerged from the 16 bit era as the victor. As a result of its late launch the SNES contained better technology than its chief rival. The central processing unit is actually comparatively slow... the dedicated graphics, and sound processors allowed the SNES to produce better graphics and crisper sound. The sound chip was actually designed by Sony's Ken Kutaragi the "father" of the Playstation. The SNES' capabilities could be further extended through the addition of extra chips located on the cartridges themselves, this includes the Super FX chip that made Star Fox's and Stunt Race FX's 3D polygonal graphics possible.

Nintendo ceased production of the Super Nintendo in the late 90s in North America, and early 2000 in Japan; ... its significance is still felt through the industry. Emulation technologies allow people to play old Nintendo classics on a variety of devices, including computers, PSPs, and Xbox. Nintendo continues to re-release its old classics on a variety of platforms such as the Gameboy Advance and most recently the Wii Virtual Console. Through the VC system people can download old SNES games onto the Wii's internal memory.
