Super Nintendo consoles appear to be running ever-so-slightly faster as they age and speedrunning detectives are hot on the case

The legendary Super Nintendo Entertainment System is 35 years old and still a mainstay in every classic gamer’s heart. It’s also much beloved by the speedrunning community, which has found itself in a bit of a quandary recently—as it seems the elderly console might run slightly faster as it ages.

That’s according to 404 Media, which has been speaking to TASBot administrator Alan Cecil. Cecil has been collecting data from BlueSky users as to how fast their SNES consoles are currently running and, while the dataset is small, for now it does appear that some ageing consoles are showing small, but not insignificant speed boosts compared to when they were first released.
