As some of you may know, around the time of the release of the Nintendo 64, Nintendo decided to re-release its now famous Super Nintendo. This new SNES was not actually and better per say, but some people think that this re-release was nicer; do to its smaller, "sexier" shape. Why Nintendo decided to re-release is something that I personally don't know, but I believe it has something to do with them wanting to make the console more appealing. One lil' stupid move that Nintendo made was to have it so that the newer SNES was only RF and Composite cabling. (That Red, White and Yellow ones.) For some damn reason, S-Video was and still is not an option. Even if you hooked up an S-Video cable, the SNES would not show the sharper graphics. Why Nintendo did this, I don't know. To recuperate for this dumb move, Nintendo made it so the newer SNES yellows a lot less easy.
In the end, I personally believe that the re-release is the better of the two. The re-release is superior solely because of its aesthetics. To me, the difference between S-Video and Composite is something that I cannot notice! (Probably because I have shitty eyes.)
However, I am sure people have mixed opinions, so, post your hearts out on which version you think is better.
