** The U.S. military would develop their own light gun based accessory for their "Multi-purpose Arcade Combat Simulator" in the mid 90's to train recruits with light gun replicas of the [=Jäger AP 74.=] Only 600 of these were ever made.

* Multi-Player Adapter: Various models were released by different companies, but in essence this allows up to four additional controllers to be connected onto the control deck's 2nd controller port, allowing for up to five simultaneous players. The first and most popular was the Super Multitap by Creator/HudsonSoft, designed for ''VideoGame/SuperBomberman''. Other models include the Hori Multitap (rebranded the Super Links in the U.S., where it was sold by Bullet-Proof Software) and Optec's Multi-Adaptor Auto. No first-party adapters were made or sold by Nintendo.

** ''Hiryu no Ken S: Golden Fighter'' (released in North America as ''Ultimate Fighter'', the latter title being a sequel to the U.S.-exclusive NES video game ''Flying Warriors'')

* SuperTitle64Advance: A trend that [[TropeMaker took off with this console]], often used to differentiate Super NES games from prior versions or installments on the original NES. Though not all games with "Super" in their title are the result of this trope (the Franchise/SuperMarioBros franchise being an obvious example). In the North American market alone there were 64 official releases that have titles starting with the word "Super".
* VindicatedByHistory: The 32-bit era's arrival wasn't kind to games like ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'', or ''VideoGame/{{EarthBound|1994}}'', which were often lost in the shuffle of more technologically advanced games on other systems. However, they would eventually become among the most acclaimed and highly-ranked video games of all time. This is particularly prominent for ''[=EarthBound=]'', which saw mixed-to-negative reviews in the U.S. when it first came out, but is now considered an archetypal example of games as an art form, going on to influence later critically acclaimed titles like ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''.

* The system has 128 KB of main UsefulNotes/RandomAccessMemory and 64 KB of MediaNotes/VideoRAM. That alone gave the Super NES more on-board memory than either of its 16-bit competitors. This doesn't count including extra memory on the carts, as the other systems may have been able to do that as well. Unfortunately, the data bus for the system is 8 bits wide and therefore severely limited RAM throughput and the system speed because all [=CPUs=] in the MOS Technology 6502 family are bottlenecked by RAM throughput and clock speed.

* GameMod: If you own a Super NES Classic Edition, it is ''very'' possible to add games into the system using a simple PC program due to its MediaNotes/{{emulation}}-based software. SaveScumming ''will'' save your life (and time) when you play notorious NintendoHard games such as the original ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Trilogy''. This would involve finding [[UsefulNotes/ReadOnlyMemory ROMs]] for said games.
