A debate for the ages has finally been settled: Nintendo has at last confirmed how you pronounce “NES”.
The Nintendo Entertainment System was the company’s first home console, released all the way back in 1983. It was host to video game classics such as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and Tetris, and paved the way for the SNES and beyond.
But how do you say NES? A quick poll of the Eurogamer office turned into a half hour argument between ‘Nez’ and ‘Ness’ camps, with someone else who won’t be named insisting on enunciating each letter ‘Enn Eee Ess’. Awful.
