SNES Classic vs NES Classic: Which Retro Console Is For You?

Nintendo’s coveted SNES Classic Edition is launching very soon, and its previous mini retro console, the NES Classic Edition, is coming back next year after months of selling out.

The NES, or Nintendo Entertainment System, was Nintendo’s first home console, which launched in 1985. The SNES, or Super Nintendo Entertainment System, released in 1990 with improved graphics.
