From the developers who brought you vNES, comes the holy vSNES.

I would like to take this opportunity to state publicly, that we are, in fact, now doing a Super Nintendo website. It will be www.virtualsupernes.com and will be launching on February 14, 2011. The initial launch phase will not have support for add-on chips, so don't go expecting Star Fox on day one. However, with that in mind, we do rely on our users to help us add games to our virtual library, so if you have some Super Nintendo games to donate, click here.
Recently, we've teamed up with the I-Console team at KryptonWare Solutions to create Emulation Collective, bringing you the next generation in online vintage video game websites. Emulation Collective is already managing VirtualGBX, and with excellent results - we've just added over 100 GB/C games, as well as support for Game Boy Color, and the ability to save your game, with a new compact 12-character save code setup.
Even though we're planning to launch a SNES website doesn't mean that VirtualNES.com will be ignored - we are also working on adding support for the Zapper, the new compact save code system, as well as support for many games that currently don't work on vNES, such as Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, River City Ransom and other classic NES games.
As this is our four year anniversary, I must say that the best part about running this library are the letters I've received over the years from people who grew up with the NES that are re-living a part of their childhood. The feeling that you get from being able to bring a little joy to the world is rather addicting, and I'm amazed at all of the really awesome people that I've met over the years. You've all really kept me going, and I thank each and every one of you for your support, and hope that I'll be able to depend on it for the next four years.
