- Just like the NES, the SNES had some interesting accessories
released for it. But even though the SNES is my favorite
system, I didn't really like anything ever released for this
system.

The Super Game Boy lets you play GB games on your
SNES in color! Normal Game Boy games will be using a palette with four colors which you can edit
and choose which 4 colors u want it to use, but many of the newer GB games (released after the Super GB) supports 256 colors in static screens
(i.e. the title screen) and 12 colors in the normal game! Since the simulated GB screen
doesn't fill out the whole TV-screen and you can create your own border that fills out
the rest of the screen. The only big downside is that you
can't play multiplayer. So you should only purchase this
cool accessory if you don't have a Game Boy, or if you just
want to be able play the games on your TV.

Unless you really want to play your GB
games on the SNES, there really isn't anything special here.

- This thing is actually pretty cool,
and I wish I had one. It lets you play NES games on your SNES!
Talk about cool. What youdo is, you take this device and you
plug it into the top of your SNES, and then plug your NES
game into it, and 98% of the games will run! So for people who
own both systems, they can purchase this thing and then put
away their NES.

- This is the Super Nintendo's
version of the Zapper. It's 2 1/2 feet long and shaped just like a bazooka. As you can see on the picture it
has a little plastic thing that acts like a support for your shoulder. The Super Scope
6 also has two buttons on it, one for firing and the other for
pausing the game. Unfortunately this gun just EATS batteries like there
is no tomorrow! It will eat 6 AA batteries dry in about 4
hours. Talk about a guzzler. The Super Scope 6 also comes bundled with a
6-Games-In-One cartridge called the Super Scope 6 Game Pak.
Basically they are just a bunch of mini-games, so when you get tired of
it, there really isn't that much to do. I say that because
Nintendo didn't license very many games that used the Super
Scope 6, only about 7 that I can think of. Which I will name
here. Lamborghini American, Battle Clash, (one of my
favorites), Bazooka Blitzkrieg, Yoshi's Safari, Terminator 2:
The Arcade Game, Tinstar, and X-Zone. I among other people
preferred the NES Zapper over this accessory, just because of
the fun factor of the games released for each one. But since
it does have a couple decent games for it, I will have to say
I still like it.
-
- The only reason I am giving this thing a decent rating,
is because I like a couple of the games they made for it, but I am disappointed that
they didn't make more.
