The Famicom, known as the Nintendo Entertainment System over here in North America, is arguably one of the most important systems of all time. Well it turns out this year is the 40th anniversary of the console's launch in Japan so it is WELL overdue for me to cover it here on Still Loading. To help me discuss this legendary system I am joined by Stephan Reese from the non-profit Interactive Art Collection (also known as The Art of Nintendo Power on Twitter), Try from the YouTube channel My Life in Gaming and Dave from the YouTube channel Game Dave.
The four of us discuss the history of the system, what it has meant to us all personally and why this system seems to have such staying power in pop culture zeitgeist.
