The '''{{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System}}''' (abbreviated as '''SNES''', '''Super NES''', or '''Super Nintendo'''), called the '''Super Famicom''' in Japan, is a video game console created by [[Nintendo]]. In early development, it was called '''Nintendo Entertainment System 2''' or '''NES2'''. The system first released in Japan on November 21, 1990, then in America on August 23, 1991, in Europe in April 1992, and in Australia in July 1992. The South Korean version was rebranded the Super Comboy and was distributed by {{wp|SK Hynix|Hyundai Electronics}} to circumvent the country's bans on Japanese cultural imports. It is the last Nintendo console that has a different design and name in North America and PAL regions. The PAL version is a mix between the Super Famicom and the American SNES, keeping the design of the Super Famicom, while using the name from the American version. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System is the successor to the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and similarly went on to produce many popular games, many of which are ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games, most notably ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. | The '''{{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System}}''' (abbreviated as '''SNES''', '''Super NES''', or '''Super Nintendo'''), called the '''Super Famicom''' in Japan, is a video game console created by [[Nintendo]].
