NES-101

The NES2 was a redesigned version of the NES, released in the 1990s and designed to resemble the SNES.

Design
The body was made flatter and curvier, more like a wedge than the boxy original. The power button in front was replaced with a larger red power switch on top. The reset button was replaced with a larger grey button on top. The NES controller was redesigned to resemble the SNES controller, using a "dog bone" shape.

The most notable change, however, was the change from a front-loading design to a top-loading design. Instead of inserting the cartridges into the front and closing the door, the cartridges were placed into the top with no cover. This can occasionally make the games harder to remove, however.
