    SNES: THE BEST-SELLING CONSOLE OF ITS ERA

    SNES: THE BEST-SELLING CONSOLE OF ITS ERA

    Perhaps you remember the SNES as a kid, or maybe you played it with your parents. No matter how old you are, if you have ever owned a Super Nintendo Entertainment System, this article is for you! 

     

    The SNES was one of the most memorable handheld gaming consoles that have a special place in many kids' hearts—especially kids in the 80s and 90s. And its real advantage? It’s timelessness! 

     

    The SNES sold over 49 million units worldwide (North America: 23.35 million, Japan: 17.17 million, other countries: 8.58 million) when it was first released on November 21st, 1990. It's true that this was also a time when many consoles were hitting the market—the Sega Genesis, Atari Jaguar, and even 3DO—but none of them really had much success compared to Super SNES’s 16-bit powerhouse. In fact, it was so popular that it surpassed its predecessor (the NES) by almost double! 

     

    WHY SNES CONSOLE WAS A TRUE HIT? 

    SNES is proven to have notable features that set it apart from other consoles in its time and became staples in modern gaming consoles: 

     

    1.The SNES was among the first consoles to feature a CD-ROM drive, which allowed users to play games such as Star Fox and Super Mario World on their television sets by inserting the disc into a slot in the console's top. 
    2. It featured 16-bit graphics—twice as many bits as the 8-bit systems, which were more advanced than what you would find on other consoles at the time. It also had improved sound quality, making games more immersive than ever.

    3. The SNES was one of the first consoles to include a memory card slot, which allowed players to save their progress by transferring game data to a memory card. This feature is still used today with most modern game systems.

    4. The Super Nintendo's controller had animproved button layout that made it easy for players to press two buttons at once without accidentally pressing another one that may be close by or difficult to reach. 

     5. SNES features two controller ports instead of just one on the front of the console, allowing more than one player at a time. Perfect for multiplayer action games and came in handy for fighting games like Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat - which are still being played today! 

    6. The SNES had a large library of great games that have stood the test of time and was also known for its high-quality iconic games including Star Fox (1993), Super Mario Kart (1992), Super Mario World (1991), Chrono Trigger (1995), and Super Metroid (1994). 

    SNEShas become a highly sought-after gaming console among collectors because it has developed a cult following. Not only that, SNES video games have been well-kept as their value gets higher over time. By now, these old games are already considered vintage and the real question is, how do you keep them protected?

    The Next Great Investment Could Be Hiding in Your Video Game Collection!

    The Next Great Investment Could Be Hiding in Your Video Game Collection!

    Over the past few years, the retro video game market is on fire and prices have been skyrocketing. In fact, some games are selling at auction for more than they would have cost back when they were originally released. 

    It's not hard to see why: the NES, SNES, N64, and GB/GBA all hold special places in our hearts. They're beloved for their nostalgic appeal, but also for their rarity. The original systems were made in limited numbers, so the supply has always been limited compared to demand. 

    That scarcity means that today's collectors are finding that they can't even keep up with the demand for their own collections—and they're making bank off of it! Some collectors just want to preserve their video games and others invest to sell them for higher prices down the road when they're more rare or valuable. Others will resell them immediately as soon as they start raking cash from reselling them—and some might even be able to get a sweet profit just by buying them at flea markets or garage sales and flipping them on eBay! 

    Now, you probably have a pile of retro game cartridges or game boxes sitting on your shelves, and you're wondering how to keep those games safe. I tell you what, preserving them could be the biggest investment for your future––and EVORETRO is here to help you do just that. 

    Video Game Protector

     

    KEEP YOUR ASSETS (A.KA. YOUR RETRO GAMES) PROTECTED 

    It's important that collectors preserve their collections properly so that they don't get damaged over time (and so that they look great later on when someone buys them). That means keeping moisture out of the game cartridges so they don't corrode over time; it also means not touching the cartridges directly with your fingers because oils from your skin can damage plastic over time. 

    EVORETRO acrylic and PET cases are made from thick archival-grade material that will keep your precious NES box, SNES cartridge, N64 cartridges, and GBA game box in pristine condition. They're designed to block dust, dirt, and moisture from entering your prized game collection while also protecting all corners, edges, and sides from everyday wear and tear, ensuring they’re playable and valuable for years to come. 

     

    CAPITALIZE ON YOUR VIDEO GAME’S ORIGINAL LOOK 

    The problem is that over time, the game boxes are subject to wear, bent corners, and worse: fading of the cover art. What makes a video game box even more valuable is when the look of the packaging remains as good as the day you bought them. 

    Good news! We have these rigid acrylic cases to guard your GBA game box against harmful UV rays, protecting your games from fading and deteriorating over time even if they're exposed to sunlight often. Plus, our GBA case features a scratch-resistant finish to keep your prized gaming collection looking new year after year, keeping your original packaging safe and protected while showing off your most treasured retro video game collection with pride.

    As gamers and collectors, we understand the thrill of owning the complete series of your favorite retro games, but we also know the feeling when that excitement quickly turned to frustration when you realized that the console was already starting to show signs of wear and tear. 

    You should be aware that the longer you plan to collect, the more likely you are to damage your games, and more important it is to protect them. Collecting video games takes up a lot of effort, but so does maintaining them.

    Video Game Protector

    The PET cases ensure that your games are safe from dust, dirt, and moisture while providing ample cushioning against bumps and minor impacts. We also have acrylic cases that are more rigid to guard your games from scratches and even from harmful UV rays. 

    Investing in our protective cases won’t only give your collection the protection they deserve. These cases can also help you to conveniently store your discs or cartridges in one place for a more organized look in your cabinet or shelf.
