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”

[-] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 months ago

I’m guessing once the snes came out and the ‘regular’ just made sense to mean ‘not-super’

I worked in an Electronic Boutique (now GameStop) years and years and years ago.
I still think about the kid that came in and asked for a sness.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

"Sness" is way less unacceptable than "ness" to me, for some reason.

It only really became NES once the SNES came out.

Before that it was just Nintendo.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago

I still just call it "Nintendo".

Grandma: Calling all consoles "the Nintendo".

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

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.

Nintendo (Really, it's a Playstation 2)

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

I prefer gameboy (really it's a PSP)

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I've actually turned into an Old Man and have referred to the Switch as "Gameboy" unironically.

Excuse me. It's called "Mans Crowning Achievement to the Gods", not just the virtual boy. Show it some respect.

I remember when the best NES emulator was NESticle. Hard to not pronounce it "ness" after that.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

I say "N.E.S.", but also "Super Nintendo."

[-] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 months ago

In my country; all the retro consoles (up to playstation) are called atari.

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"Regular Nintendo" is redundant.
To me it's just "Nintendo". Everything after gets a subtitle.

Everyone I knew called/calls it the "nez".

[-] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Same. Nez and Snez

[-] accideath@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

Where does "The original Nintendo" fall on this chart?

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Somewhere off the bottom, shaped like a deck of playing cards.

[-] darth_tiktaalik@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

Which is the unleaded Nintendo?

[-] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Intendo as the little kids might say

[-] s_s@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

"8-bit Nintendo"

[-] lengau@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago

That Famicom close that added DRM

[-] velxundussa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Rough translation, but here it was "Ordinary Nintendo", as opposed to the Super Nintendo

[-] dandu3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yep, Nintendo ordinaire. Lol

[-] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

In my language we just called it small Nintendo.

"Normal Nintendo" is what we call it.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

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