Personally I like to pronounce it ‘Famicom’ just so I can be a douchebag and then get to explain-flex that “that’s what it was called in Japan” when no one asked.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say NES. Are there really people who out there who prefer to say NES as opposed to NES? NES just rolls off the tongue so much better than NES.
Nintendo Entertainment System.
And then there was my fucking grandma back then always saying ‘get off the damn intendo”
I say N E S I pronounce each letter. I don’t like when people say NES.
In Poland we call it ‘Pegasus’, because back in the day only the clone was available on the market with the most popular 999 in one cart.
The people who say NES instead of NES are the same people who say AT-AT instead of AT-AT. I can’t stand them.
unfortunately for you OP, real ones actually call it “The Nintendo” 😎
Neth
This feels cursed lol
I just call it the nintendo

I have never pronounced the name of the protagonist of Earthbound the same way as the console that it was played on.
My grandma pronounces it Mario Bros.

Me a person who does not care because I can understand what they mean either way…
Me saying “nintendinho”: 🗿
Translation: Little Nintendo.
Shout out to those who say Nintendo Entertainment System
All I know is that if we go with any S, then I’m gonna use the cool S.
I say N E S not NES for the same reason I say PS5 not piss5
regular nintendo
I say “Nintendinho” At least here in Brazil, Now SNES? Super Nintendo, we only say the name
“It’s Nikolaj”
I say N. E. S. but I say SNES.
N-E-S
bizarre when you hear say it as one word. It always comes off as if they’re talking about a nasal spray medicine brand
I say regular Nintendo
I always say N, E, S.
I don’t know why but I always say the acronym like Ehn-eee-ess
But I say Snes like its a word
i have no idea how to pronounce this and by reading the comments i just got more confused.
So it’s initialism vs acronym, but you portray it in a way that only allows the definition to be “abbreviation”.
Well done.
His name is Mario. NES is the princess!
Bro, I had one of these bad boys.
We just called it “Nintendo”.
We called the SNES “Super Nintendo”
We called N64… “N64”.
I swear, no one said “NES” or “SNES” until we were downloading emulators. My first emulator was called “NESticle” in the year 2000.

The meme is incomplete. What about people who pronounce it ‘NES’?
Nintendo’s official style guide has them pronounced Nintendo Entertainment System or En Ee Es and Super Nintendo Entertainment System or Es En Ee Es. Ness and Sness were a UK thing that no one native to the US would have heard of until Youtube and even more, Twitch became popular. For whatever reason, newer gamers, and gamers too young to have been around for the 8 or 16 bit eras have adopted the UK pronunciation, despite it never having been called that in America, but whatever, it’a a silly thing to argue about.
Very funny that meme.
It’s obviously a Nintendo.
EN-E-ES
I think I just say some shit like “the first Nintendo”
My mother would disagree. She used to say we were playing “nintendos”.
