We’ve been celebrating a lot of Nintendo console anniversaries this month, including Wii U’s third anniversary on November 18th and Wii’s ninth anniversary on November 19th. The Nintendo celebrations continue today with a personal favorite of mine. Super Nintendo (or Super Famicom in Japan) made its debut in Japan 25 years ago today on November 21st, 1990.

The 16-bit console was home to beloved classics including

Super Mario World, EarthBound, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and many, many more. Super Nintendo went on to be the third most successful Nintendo home console of all time (behind Wii and the original NES), selling nearly 50 million units and nearly 380 million games.
