This has to be one of the hardest decision for me... I have the oppurtunity to get a SNES or NES which should I get? Why?

SNES. It has the RPGs. Some of its games actually look nice, which cannot be said for any NES games (imho).

Both systems are great and it's tough decision. I'll have to go with the SNES because of it's great library of games. I mean there's something for everyone.

SNES because it has a better game library. Also, if you're considering buying a front-loading NES, you'll probably have tons of problems with it.

Either one, you can't go wrong... but personally, I'd go with the NES since it has my 3 favorite franchises Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania... not to mention many other games available for it. Still, the SNES is a great pick as well. Hope you find what you're looking for.

The NES is a classic system no doubt however I'd recommend the SNES because it has a seriously huge library of games to choose from... I am sure you will find many to enjoy. Plus, some SNES games had really impressive graphics, and the system also had some of the greatest RPGs of all time.

I'd recommend the SNES as well. You'll have a lot less problems with it. The chances of you getting an NES that doesn't work are pretty significant. I can also vouch for the SNES's amazing selection. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Lufia and the Fortress of Doom... Tons of great games come to mind.

If it still has the original 72 pin connector, it probably won't work very well.

SNES is the superior system in terms of hardware(obviously). The game selection is better, i'd go with that one :)

You really can't go wrong with either decision. The SNES does have superior games, but the NES is just classic, and awesome, and you'll have just as much fun with an NES as an SNES.

both the nes and snes are good systems but snes is best for many games and few for nes// check out the fc twin it plays both nes and snes games with the snes controllers. I work at a store that sells them and they are amazing but the controllers that come with it aren't as good as the snes controllers but it is combatiable with the snes controllers which is cool. as long as you take care of it. it will last you a long time.

I never really liked the SNES, to be honest...Super Maro World's fun, and TMNT 4 was great, but I haven't played many other must-have games on it...the NES, on the other hand...=) Lots of fun to be had there, Balloon Fight, Excitebike, TMNT 2, Double Dragon 2(I'm not too fussy on it, but it's still GOOD...), and Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3 are all great games...and SMB3 on the NES has Raccoon Luigi sporting a green tail. =D

NES is great, but most of the games haven't aged too well. Most of them are pretty simple anyway. I would recommend a SNES because it's more complex and has a lot of great games, like Chrono Trigger or Super Metroid.

well i decided to get both... I think both system cant liek be compared to each other because there really is no winner. Nes is a classic and SNES is just one of the best system out there.

You buying the classic consoles, or one of the Chinese-made systems that play both? I went through the same dilema recently, and I decided to buy a Retro Duo Video Game system which plays both SNES and NES games after reading a bunch of really good reviews on it. I did it for cost, though I would really love to get one of those top loader NES systems to sit next to my SNES :)
