SNES games: common questions
What consoles play SNES games?
Every North American Super Nintendo, including the smaller SNES Jr. (model 2).
Are SNES games region locked?
Yes. North American SNES cartridges are shaped differently from Japanese Super Famicom games, and European games are locked out too. All of our games are US releases unless the listing says otherwise.
Do old SNES games still save?
Games that save use a small battery inside the cartridge. Some original batteries have run out after 30+ years: the game still plays, but can’t save until the battery is replaced.
Are your SNES games tested?
Yes. Every item is cleaned and tested on real hardware before it ships, and it’s covered by our 180-day warranty and 30-day returns.
