Nintendo Super Famicom
Nintendo · 1990
The Japanese Super Nintendo, and one of the great console designs: a custom 65816 core, Mode 7 scaling and rotation, and a Sony-designed SPC700 sound chip that gave it the best audio of its generation by a wide margin. The cartridge coprocessors — SuperFX and the rest — pushed it years past its own specification.
