How do say SNES?

[Heinz]

You have to give them a pass if they're from the UK. Australians in particular can't help it. And I think z for s at the end of a word is common up around Pittsburgh as well.

I'd call it a snez, sness just sounds stupid. That or super nintendo which is probably the better way to refer to it.

 

[Gaston]

Nintendo Europe marketed the super nes as the snez, I remember reading an interview with some head honcho at the time and finding it odd they would call it that.

 

[HornheaDD]

So do they pronounce other words ending in s like that?

Businezz
Wildernezz
Shynezz
Creditworthynezz
Yezz

Makez no zenze.

[StevenK]

SNEP

 

[oliverclaude]

I guess, SMEG?

Spoiler:

But I don't give a smeg about it...

 

[LoneSage]

Most Americans probably don't know how britfags pronounce the letter Z too.

Since they all saw Pulp Fiction and know whose chopper it was, they do know how to pronounce it: so that it rhymes with "dead" .

 

[HornheaDD]

yep

Damn, for the country that invented the language, they sure do butcher the shit out of it.

It's not my line, but they created the language, we perfected it. Took out all those extra vowels for a start. Colour? Shoppe? Come on now.

I had a guy from Mass come into my work whose accent was so thick no-one could understand him and thought he was a deranged person. They were gonna call the cops on him and started to freakout. I walked over and immediately knew he need a tarp to cover his car in the side yard 14' x 14'.

In the UK its SNES one word or Super NES. Was watching a you tube video and the American guy started saying S-N-E-S and I was like wtf.

Also Ryu they pronounce Ree- you

Haggar - Hagg-gar

Mario - Mo-rio

Weird.

I guess you get used to the pronunciation in your own country and your own dialogue.

No full stops in America just periods wtf??

 

[Heinz]

Americans speak so slowly.

 

[StevenK]

Americans speak so slowly.

Not always

 

[Ren-chan]

Here in Spain people called it like... all sort of forms. Super Nintendo, Super Nes, S-nes.

Lair-a Croft

If thats how someone pronounces it (as I am reading it in my head) That would be awful!

 

[SouthtownKid]

Also Ryu they pronounce Ree- you

Ree-you is wrong but at least much closer than the Rye-you that you probably pronounce.

Haggar - Hagg-gar

That looks like how Capcom pronounces the name.

Mario - Mo-rio

Weird.

Yeah, don't even get me started on how the UK butchers Italian names. You must have at least some Italians there. How do you get it so consistently wrong? Are they afraid to speak up or something?

 

[Kid Panda]

S - Super
N - Nintendo
E - Entertainment
S - System

I think hes refering to Americans?

Mario is pronounced Ma-Re-O over here which is correct as far as I am aware?

Met a real Italian called Mario few weeks ago and he seemed happy how I was pronouncing it anyways.

 

[Tripredacus]

I always thought the Nintendo 64 was prounouned the Nintendo Six Four

You listen to too much rap.

 

[Soundwave GI]

Any youtube video I've seen from a user in the UK seems to say "snez" outright. Ess-en-ee-ess is how anyone I've ever know says it or "Super Nintendo" or, back when it was main stream, simply "Super". Like, "did you play Mario World on the Super?". That you knew it was Nintendo was a given. But nothing beats an English accent referring the the Atari "Jag-you-are".

 

[Gentlegamer]

Aussies pronounce SEGA as see-ga.

 

[GohanX]

Aussies are wrong about a lot of things.
