I go with ness, although I somewhat recently realized I had a Famicom when I was a kid, and not a NES.

7 people say N E S without any justification or comment?

Answer's the first for me. I do acronyms acoustically wherever possible. -> FIFA is "feefa" not F I F A for example.
... do the people who say N E S say S N E S or snes? or super nintendo?

I've never played one (IIRC), but it's N-E-S all the way.

It was called a Nintendo. When the SNES came out, it was called a Super Nintendo. If you called them anything else you were a weirdo.

The SNES was the Super Nintendo, but the NES was the N-E-S.

N-E-S, but I say super nintendo so I dunno. FIFA is definitely feefa but ness might potentially get mixed up with Nes.

I've used all of the above before. Including Scythe's Nintendo/Super Nintendo comment.

ness; back in the day when I was too dumb to read stuff on labels, it was known as "the gray mario box"

I call it the N E S, and sometimes when I play the Super Nintendo I call it either the Super Nintendo, or the S N E S.
