The Super Ninvento Entertainment System (Super TES) is the second console released in the TES line and the third release by Ninvento. It is preceded in the TES line by the TES, and superceded by the TES 64. Between the release of the Super TES and the TES, Ninvento releases the portable gaming console, Gameling.

The Super TES has a moderate marketshare when it is first released. However, it loses marketshare when Vonny release the Playsystem

The Ninvento's Super TES is Ninvento's second home console, following the Ninvento TES. The console introduced advanced graphics and sound capabilities compared with other consoles at the time. Additionally, development of a variety of enhancement chips (which were integrated on game circuit boards) helped to keep it competitive in the marketplace.
