It's time for 11 facts about the NES and Family Computer, aka Famicom, that You Maybe Didn't Know! Or maybe you did, it's all good, right? Join me for a look into the life and times of the NES, the system that MIGHT have saved console gaming the US! For best results view at 1080p60fps.
UPDATE: A little bo-boo found its way in at about 7:40. 32kb is 1/32nd of a MB, not 1/16th, appreciate the commenter that pointed it out!
All game footage recorded by me.
Most console pictures were taken from Evan Amos's public archive.
