I’m not a fan of the North American Super Nintendo. It’s too…utilitarian. The version released in Europe, Australia, and Japan, though, now that’s a pretty video game console.

I’ve always thought the SNES was a lot like the Mazda MX-5. Built in Japan a very long time ago, its restrained use of curves created a design that’s almost timeless, looking as good today as it did at release. A classic color scheme (those buttons!) didn’t hurt, either.
