The Nintendo Super NES 2 — The American Budget Redesign

The Nintendo Super NES 2 (also known as the SNES Jr or SNES Mini in different markets), released in North America in October 1997, was a budget redesign of the original SNES — featuring a rounder, more colourful design similar to the Japanese Super Famicom Jr and priced lower than the original hardware. Released as the Nintendo 64 was establishing itself, the SNES 2 provided an affordable entry point to the extensive SNES library for budget-conscious consumers. The American SNES 2’s design is considered by many to be more attractive than the original boxy SNES, and its relative scarcity compared to the original model makes it a notable collector’s variant.
