The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (often shortened to SNES or Super NES) is a 16-bit video game console created by Nintendo. It was called the Super Famicon in Japan, and the Super Comboy in South Korea. The console can display 2D graphics. SNES games are loaded from a cartridge. Nintendo asked Sony to create a peripheral CD-ROM reader for the SNES, but the project, named "Play station", was abandoned and Sony decided to create their own video game console, and they named it the PlayStation.
