Nintendo released a SNES PlayChoice look-alike arcade machine

Quote:


Nintendo also released a PlayChoice-lookalike that used SNES games, but released only a few games for it before deciding to get out of the arcade business once and for all in late 1992.



This is an excerpt from a article I read from http://atarihq.com/tsr/nes/pc10.html

I can't find the arcade machine that lists every game on it. What were the other groups of SNES games packaged together on other machines? Did any machine have all 12 games?

You don't have to be Stiletto to type "SNES Arcade" into google.

It even has it's own Wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Super_System

Apparently this place has one: http://www.pinballmuseum.org/direct.php
(though looking at their games list it might be a vs system that someone mistook for the SNES arcade)

The flyer shows SMW, F-Zero, and Tennis. That's 3 games. Were there machines that had more than 3? Did any have all 12? Or did all machines just have 3 games and the 3 games varied between machines?

I see the Nintendo Super System does not have working status for its games in MAME.

PCB board only accepts 3 at a time, depending on whatever the arcade owner decided to buy/use. I presume there was a default set of that were shipped with all new cabinets though I do not know the list. The NSS games are all listed as not working because they are not set up to use the BIOS which controls the game selection and information, timing, credit system that the original machine had and are, rather, loaded as normal SNES cartridges in MAME currently (one at a time).

Not sure if there was more, but there is a WORKING Machine at The Pinball Wizard in Pelham, New Hampshire
