Agreed! With the toploader, Super Famicom, and indeed the NES, Nintendo had clearly learned its lesson: gaudy colors make for a gaudy console. Tasteful neutral tones with just a small splash of color go a long way toward salvaging the original Famicom design. Funnily enough, bright red makes a Fisher-Price design look even more like a toddler's toy. Who'da thunk it?

Bad idea. The cart in the top is not only a great classic look, but frontloading in a console that would slide around in a light breeze isn't good. Maybe if it weighed something like 15-20 pounds

>> No.6967625

>>6967547
Disliking the aesthetic is fine, but arguing that it would decrease slide resistance sounds a bit absurd

>> No.6967638

>>6967625
I'm saying that if you try to shove a cart into a frontloader (unless it's an NES ZIF socket, and we know how that went) it's just going to slide, which means you then have to hold the back, which makes the whole thing feel slapdash and clumsy. The reason they put the eject mechanism in toploaders is to avoid a similar shabbiness, i.e. having to hold the console down while you pull out the cart

>> No.6967704

>>6967638
I see and appreciate your point. Given that PC Engine and NES could handle this (even at 2.5 pounds) and rubber feet are a thing, I don't think it would've been impossible to accomplish.

>> No.6967715

Nintendo couldn't make it look like a video game console thanks to the crash in 83. The toploader is a far better representation of what the NES looks like even if the rectangle is a lot more well known.

>> No.6967764

>>6967704
I mentioned the NES in parentheses; it had a special connector that allowed the cart to be inserted without much force called the "zero insertion force" connector, but the design was flawed in that it got too loose over time. The PC Engine needs to be held in place or given the old reach around when putting in a card, and rubber feet would have made no difference in that case because it's much too light

>> No.6967781

I concede, even if the ZIF could have been improved upon in 1990 it probably wouldn't have been justifiable, and function trumps aesthetics.

So you're saying the Famicom was visually inferior? I'd say that was pretty important when comparing consoles.

>> No.6973996

>>6973981
Perhaps? Although that's partially because of how old it is, at least I'm willing to bet.

Even so again it's not like it matters now, you can make either one output pretty much whatever you want and I bought mine modded as is.

As well, the other features (more games, better sound, disk system support) make it more worthwhile anyway.

Why is better sound relevant but better video isn't?

>> No.6974104

>>6974090
Well, I mean you're right better video is more relevant, however as I mentioned, it's not really a competition anymore in regards to video, whereas, as far as I know at least, that same sort of sound enhancement hasn't made it's way onto the NES at all.

No less, I was mainly listing other potential things it has over the other, sound alone obviously isn't enough to make it better, but, as a feature among others, it helps.

The sales figures are the most important figures. No other reason to make a console other than to sell it.

You conveniently glossed over one key fact of those sale figures. You know what it was ching chong? The famicom retired in 2003. It had 10 more years than the NES.

Yes I'm aware, however, I don't think you quite understand what I said, I get you're the comedy genius (why, who else could have invented such a hilarious joke! asians sounding funny!? what will you think of next!?) but you need to seriously work on reading comprehension.

My point, was that it's not accurate to look at sales alone because by law of averages, the US being a larger country with more people in it, means there's going to probably be more sales. It helps that in the US there wasn't as much real competition at the time, whereas in Japan there were multiple other viable platforms to choose from.

>The famicom retired in 2003. It had 10 more years than the NES.

>How many karaoke sequels you think were sold up until 2003?

That's also a really bad way of looking at it. Nintendo still may have supported or serviced famicoms, but who the fuck is going to buy an 8 bit console in 2003 in the US or in Japan? You and I both know that once the SFC/SNES came out, let alone the N64, there wasn't going to be much in the way of sales on what was essentially a dead platform.

Hey stupid fuck. It’s called per capita. And they are roughly both identical with 14% of the population owning a NES. Why do you think I gave you the numbers?

USA population was approximately 240M in 1980s and sold 34M.

Ching Ching land’s population was 125M in 1980s and sold 19M.

I think the karaoke question is very relevant. The famicom had this cool microphone and speaker on the controller!!!!!

You claimed that it’s better because it has like super cool red patterns instead of grey. Amazing argument you presented.

To clear up a few NES misconceptions that were in another thread:

>Nintendo required all US cartridges to be manufactured by them and use only first party mappers
Not true, strictly speaking. In fact third parties could manufacture NES PCBs and use their own mappers, but normally it was not done for cost reasons. Konami manufactured their own, but did not use their mappers in US cartridges. Sunsoft used the Sunsoft 5B mapper in a single US game (Return of the Joker). Nintendo did require two things--that the cartridge use the standard gray shell and it have the lockout chip.
>Nintendo required proper ICs in US cartridges instead of epoxy ICs
Also not true, but it was generally cheaper to use shelled ICs instead of epoxy ones, although in Japan it was the reverse. Nintendo often did use epoxy ICs on their own cartridges particularly SMB/Duck Hunt as these had to be produced in mass quantities so cost savings were important.

Some SMB/Duck Hunt carts have shelled ICs however and the SMB/Duck Hunt cart PCB underwent at least five revisions for some reason. If the bottom of the PCB has no pins, it's an epoxy one. Also epoxy PCBs tend to be thicker than the ones with shelled ICs.
