Do people really think the American SNES is ugly?

Yeah, it's an abomination.
But like in Anime too, USA always have to do their own Frankenstein thing.
I'm so happy EU got the Japanese SNES, as well as original Japanese Anime OST in the last 30 years. š¬

There's something I really like about the way the SNES looks. Something about the unconventional color scheme and purple accents is very cool to me. The super Famicom looks great, but it also just looks kind of plain to me. Also, the concave X/Y buttons are so much better on the US SNES. I wish Systems stuck with that.
it looks nicer than the turbo-grafx at least.
the super famicom is alright but the OG Genesis and the Core-Grafx are my favorite console designs from the Fourth gen.

Actually I take back my negative comments about the US SNES. Things looking unusual can have character. Like the original PS2.

I grew up with the US SNES, but I still find European and Japanese model much sleeker looking.
I imported the Euro SNES Classic even because I find the design more appeal (Even at benefit it still had the US game list)
The only credit I give to the US SNES is the convex buttons and Resetera sharing the same purple coloring scheme.

Its purple, the x and y buttons are concave, how can it not be the better version? Also the EU/JP logo looks fucking dumb.
I still have the original SNES US and I was jealous of the EU/Japanese hardware, so I got the SNES Mini EU to make up for it. The USA SNES isn't ugly, but I always wanted to see Super Famicom hardware and box art because it seemed so unattainable at the time.
"attitude" lol
The SFC/Euro SNES looks nicer and the 4 colour snes logo and mirrored joypad colours are cool.
American snes looks awful

It's one of the most fugly designs going. Not sure what was going through the mind the person was in who decided on that design over the Japanese/European design but they really should have been put on leave of absence for even suggesting it!
I remember reading this a while back...

I loved it. Back when it released, I thought it was the coolest looking thing. The hype for the SNES was so crazy in my school back then. When I finally saw one in person (I was too poor to afford it, so I only got to play it when I'd sleep over at my cousin's house every few months), I was blown away. I still think it's a pretty slick design.
The EU SNES kind of looks like an old school tape deck of some kind. I think the US SNES looks like it wouldn't ever be mistaken for one of these:
To be fair, I grew up with the US SNES, so it's kind of seared into my brain that that's what that console looks like. I imagine it's the same for those that grew up with the other versions of the system.
