SUPER Famicom is a home video game console released by Nintendo Co., Ltd.

In regions such as North America, Europe, Australia, and Brazil, it was sold under the name “Super Nintendo Entertainment System” (Super NES).

It was launched in Japan in 1990 and was developed as a successor to the Family Computer.

Initially, it competed for market share with the pre-existing Family Computer, but gradually compatibility was created, and eventually, it recorded the highest shipment numbers, following the Family Computer.

On a slightly more technical note, the hardware specifications included a 16-bit CPU, a 16-color palette selectable from 32,768 colors (15bpp), 16-color sprites that could apply these colors, up to 128 simultaneous sprites per screen, multiple background scrolling and rotation, zooming, and the adoption of Sony's DSP for PCM sound sources. It was the most cutting-edge home video game console of its time.

This resulted in a significant improvement in display and sound processing capabilities compared to the Family Computer.
