If Europe had gone with the American design instead of the colourful original, would the SNES have won the console war there? I think NoA correctly predicted that the autism colouring would be seen as too childish by Western gamers
Who cares about Europe?Completely irrelevant to vidya.
>>12527347It would have flopped. Also Europe is not one country. There are lots of countries there with very different gaming cultures.
>>12527347Such a trivial difference I don't think matters much. The console though, the US version is utterly hideous. I imagine if the US version was sold in Europe it would have done worse by some amount because it hurts to look at.
>>12527357>Italy is not one culture. Italy has many provinces.>Tuscany is not one culture. Tuscany has so many municipalities.>Siena is not one culture. Siena has dozens of boroughs with their unique cultures.>X Siena borough is not one culture. This street has a butcher and stray cats, that street has a new café.>X street is not one culture. This house has many students and is rather new, but that house is medieval and is where the mayor lives.Average anti-generaliser logic.
>>12527357The reason colours are seen as childish or gay in the Weat is because of the fashion shift of the 18th century when everyone started wearing black suits and only toddlers wore colours

>>12527347What even "won" in Europe? As far as I know, the US just had the Genesis and SNES as your viable options while Europe was this land of lawlessness with those two, Chinese bootleg NES's, and domestic computers like Amigas. I feel like even PC gaming was more of a European thing at the time, despite a lot of bangers on the PC being made in America.
>>12527347I'm sorry your version of the console was godawful ugly, OP.
>>12527351the burger console and carts are ugly as sin. jus sayin
>>12527538It was total Sega domination.
>>12528072this. Nintendo was successful mainly on the Game Boy against Game Gear front for obvious practical reasons despite being outdated. Europe was mainly Segalandthey only really picked up with the N64 but the GameCube sold poorly iircN64 was my first Nintendo console(not handled).the filtered graphics were a breath of fresh air because of how rough early 3D could look, and the catalogue was more in line with Sega people because their first party games were a bit more soulful than the then unfamiliar and generic looking PlayStation mascots and IPs.
>>12528060You don't have to gut the SNES case to play SuFami games, just two tabs and voila! On Super Famicom either you buy an adapter which will fuck up game performance or buy another case if there are any so you can insert US carts.
>>12528093just buy a flash cart lmao. none of your money go to the authors
>>12527347>If Europe had gone with the American design instead of the colourful original, would the SNES have won the console war there?Honestly, I think Nintendo's biggest mistake was waiting. It launched in Europe in June 1991 and the Mega drive had been there since September 1990. Of course that is the same for all regions, it goes Japan > America > Europe with 6 months to a year of waiting before each release. The Mega Dive was a nothing console in Japan and actually doing pretty mediocre sales in America until right before the SNES launch where it took off with Sonic. In Europe though, that year between the SNES coming out in the US and it launching in Europe was when Sega was hitting its stride with no competition on the market. It became the console your friends were getting, had years of games under its belt and probably was already discounted.
>the autism colouring would be seen as too childish by Western gamersand yet, many other consoles after that used colored buttons and had no problem selling in the westkys
For me its the early prototype with red on gray accents
