I don't think it's misleading, given the SNES history. For me the SNES was famous for its expansion chips - I immediately assumed one like the super fx chip that gave it 3d graphics.

The title may be skewed towards an audience that knows slightly obscure details of SNES history, rather than misleading the general audience.

I'm guessing the division comes down to generational ignorance. Commenters on both the oldest fringe and the younger half of the age curve aren't going to remember the big deal Nintendo made about these chips.
