I don’t say SNEZZ. I say SNESS.

The first person I ever heard pronounce it like a word (“sness” rather than “snez”) was a Scottish friend.
I think I tend to say “Super NES” and maybe occasionally “ess enn eee ess.”

when i was a kid we called it the Super Nintendo, to differentiate from the Nintendo we already had.
as an adult i still call it the Super Nintendo most of the time. and very occasionally

When I’m talking about the system, it was usually Ess En Ee Ess. But with emulators, it was “sness”, like Zee Sness. Dunno why I differentiate there, but I do. Never met anyone who says “snezz” though.

For me, it was always “Super Nintendo”, and as an adult in my head I alternate between S-N-E-S and “Super Nintendo”.
Never pronounced it as “Sness”, that always sounded dumb.

I think I usually SAY “Super Nintendo,” although reading it, in my head I just say “sness.” Which strikes me as weird since I vastly prefer sounding out “en ee ess” for NES.

As a kid it was Super Nintendo or Super N-E-S, as an adult it’s S-N-E-S. The only time I ever pronounced either of them in any other way was in the NESticle days

During its lifetime it was Super Nintendo. As the 90s wore on Super N-E-S wove in, and I never heard anyone say the linguistic abomination of “Sness” until the era of video on the internet.

there was a Zelda site i hung out at for a while that referred to the games exclusively by number, so ALttP was Zelda 3, Link’s Awakening was Zelda 4, etc. Honestly it ruled, it was so weirdly elitist and exclusionary that it just made the community shrivel up and die

Thinking of pronouncing it “SENSE” to confuse and annoy people. I will refuse to ever admit that I am inverting the two central letters
