What Is Switch Serial Number?
The console itself should feature the FCC compliance information as well as the Nintendo support website address, and since it's so similar to the SNES Classic Edition, it's likely the system will have 'MADE IN CHINA' printed on the system as well.Check for a serial number on the system.
- Serial Number Stamp - If you look inside right above and below where the game pin connector is located. You will see some numbers & Letters, as the. Top Shell has E-27 stamped on it and the bottom shell has B-43 stamped on it. None of the counterfeit games had any serial number markings of any kind.
- There are many factors that come into play that either give it value or not. 97% of the time, it is just another Nintendo system. If you happen to have a lower serial number however (you can find that on the bottom of the system), the value could be more. It would have to be one of the first couple hundred systems sold for that to be the case.
- It might be that the line is a degenerative issue present in the SNES 1 models I've used my modded SNES 2 for 8 years now and the line hasn't shown up. The SNES 2 S-Video mod that I posted doesn't restore every component but almost every modern CRT seemed to process the signal without issue so I left it at that.
According to Wikipedia, a serial number is a unique identifier assigned sequentially or incrementally to an item to uniquely identify it. Serial numbers should be strictly numerical; they may contain letters or other typographical symbols. Or, they may consist entirely of a character string.
Serial numbers are a deterrent against counterfeit products and theft for they can be recorded and traceable. Also, they are very useful in quality control. Once a defect is found in the production of a particular batch of products, the units of products been affected can be found through their serial number.
Serial numbers are extensively used in electronics, appliances, automobiles, etc. physical objects. Also, they are appliable for intangible goods like computer software and online video games. For software, the serial number is the product key or product code; it is the authorization for a certain user to use the software.

The New-Style Super NES[2] (also known by its model number SNS-101[3]) is a compact redesign of the original Super Nintendo Entertainment Systemvideo game console released by Nintendo in 1997. In Japan, the system is called the Super Famicom Jr. (Japanese: スーパーファミコン ジュニア, Hepburn: Sūpā Famikon Junia). Like the redesigned version of the original Nintendo Entertainment System before it, the new-style Super NES was released late during the platform's lifespan.
Background[edit]
The New-Style Super NES was designed by Lance Barr, who previously designed the North American versions of the NES, and Super NES, as well as the redesigned NES.[4] Released at a lower price point, Nintendo marketed it as an entry-level gamer's system[5] for customers who were on a budget and who may have been put off by the higher price of other more modern systems such as the Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn and PlayStation. Nintendo marketed the system in North America simply as the 'Super Nintendo Entertainment System', just as the company had done the original SNS-001 model. It was released in North America on October 20, 1997[3] and retailed for US$99.95.[6] The system was available as a stand-alone package or in a variety of bundles, each including one pack-in game such as:
- Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[7]
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Target exclusive)
- Kirby Super Star (Target exclusive)
- Tetris Attack (Toys 'R' Us exclusive)
The system was released in Japan as the Super Famicom Jr. on March 27, 1998 and retailed for ¥7,800.[8] It was given the model number SHVC-101 and is very similar to the New-Style Super NES in both appearance and functionality. It was manufactured until September 2003.[9]
Hardware changes[edit]
The design of the SNS-101 is a large departure from that of the North American version of the original Super NES. The system features a smaller footprint than the older model and contains a much less angular design language. To reach an affordable price point, several features were removed. The system lacks the expansion slot on the bottom of the console featured on the SNS-001, making it incompatible with the Japan-exclusive Satellaview add-on. The power and reset buttons were moved to the left hand side, and the cartridge eject button has been removed entirely. Additionally, it lacks a power LED to indicate when the unit is on. The internal RF modulator was also removed; however, an external RF modulator can be used.[2]
The SNS-101 features the same AV multi-out port used on the original model.[10] However, the SNS-101 only supports composite video through this port, whereas the SNS-001 supported composite video, S-Video and RGB. The video encoder used in the system still supports S-Video and RGB, but these pins were left unused. Users are able to modify the system to restore the removed functionality,[11][12] and is considered to be an improvement of video quality over earlier revisions of the SNES.[13]
The included controller underwent slight changes and was given a new model number (SNS-102). The 'Super Nintendo Entertainment System' marking on the front was replaced by a general Nintendo logo molded into the casing. In fact, the Japanese controller also underwent this same change and actually shares the same model number as its U.S. counterpart, as the back of the controller has both, the Super NES and Super Famicom logos. Despite this, the colors and shapes of the ABXY buttons still differed between regions.
