On Why Super Nintendo is My Favorite Console

I owned a few consoles, but the one I prefer and keep coming back to play the most is the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System). I've also worked on an electronics assembly line sorting out hexagonal spacers, so can appreciate the work that's gone into the hardware of this console. My preference is probably colored by the fact that it is the first console I actually paid for myself, using my own hard-earned cash. Still, I think that this console is the stepping-off point where the game technology began to be immersive enough that players do not think, in the back of their mind, "it's just a game." This console is also where two of my favorite genres, platform action and Japanese RPG, reach their perfection. I love all the Mario franchise games released on the SNES and find that Mario games made for newer consoles are not as fun to play. Browsing the net a little bit just before finishing this piece, I also found that other people, including many critics, also think that the SNES is probably the best console ever.
