Nintendo started selling its 16-bit cassette based system in 1991 and sold it for many years. The Super Nintendo introduced gaming’s 3D capabilities. The SNES was the best-selling 16-bit gaming system even though it came into the market after the 16-bit Sega Genesis system. The most popular SNES games include Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart, and Chrono Trigger.

Here are the top Super Nintendo Emulators ever created for Macs:

#4 – bsnes (Version 0.6.8)


bsnes can be a bit quirky at times, but it is still a good emulator nonetheless.

#5 – VSWC (Version b8r3)


This is a very old/outdated SNES emulator for Macs. I would definitely try out the other 4 before resorting to this one.

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System is the favorite of many people. The console design wasn’t that much better than the regular Nintendo Entertainment System and some argue that the design was worse because you had a game sticking out the top similar to the design of the Sega Genesis and others. We hope how the first Nintendo door would close and conceal the game.
