Nintendo knew the NES had to look less like a toy and more like a serious machine…. so they gave it that VCR-style front-loading design.
R.O.B. the Robot was not just a funky sidekick…. he helped Nintendo sneak the NES back into stores after the video game crash.
The Zapper worked with clever screen flashes to track your aim in Duck Hunt…. which is also why it throws a little fit with modern TVs.
Nintendo tested the NES in New York before going nationwide…. so a few lucky gamers got an early crack at gaming history.
