Mane 6 + nes =best game night ever

All hail the NES. :D

In North America, the SMS was an abysmal failure, half because Nintendo was able to force 3rd parties into exclusivity contracts (monopolies grant power like that), and half because Tonka, the company Sega charged with selling the SMS in North America was terrible at distribution and marketing. The system, as you say, saw much greater fortunes in Europe and South America. I also was unaware of the SMS in my own youth, but since discovering it and getting one of my own, I find it quite a wonderful device, more than worthy of a place in any gamer’s library. Thankfully, games from Europe can be played with no problem on the unit, because the system’s European collection really makes the system awesome.

Be sure to give Pinkie a subscription to the Nintendo Fun Club!

For a long time as a kid, I didn’t even know that 8-bit Sega console existed. (In fact, the Game Gear was basically a portable “Master System” but with a smaller pixel resolution.) I hear it didn’t do well in America, which may be why. (But outdid the NES in Europe.)  
My sister had a Sega Genesis (AKA “Megadrive”) though.

@YukoAsho  
It might be in one of those boxes.

Now they need to get Pinkie a Master System to go with it.

Only Twilight.

Eh, the NES2 don’t always work better. I tried one once, and if you accidently bump the cartridge in the console, (which sticks out alot, as they’re quite big) it messes up the game. So you have to have it at a safe distance so you don’t bump the table it’s on, or something.
 
They have ways you can fix, or clean your systems online. I find the easiest way to clean cartridges is with a Q-tip. Wet one side, wipe off the bottom connectors, and then dry them off with the dry end.

@Prof.NightJack  
I’ve never seen those top-loader NES IRL before.

@Prof.NightJack  
I don’t have one of those though.

@Beau Skunky  
I think I might have over-cleaned mine.

If you have one of the later toploader models that work even better, mostly from loading the cartridges the why the system was first designed to work.

Well, Equestria is doomed. As soon as they start playing, they won’t want to do anything else. They’ll spend weeks or maybe months trying to beat Super Mario Bros., Battle Toads, Ninja Gaiden, and Ghosts n’ Goblins without ever leaving Sugar Cube Corner.

@ein-kerl  
Mine still works, it helps if you clean the game cartridges with a Q-tip, and stuff.

@OneOverTwo  
Or they’re just old as shit.

These things are impossible to make work, that or I’m just really bad at cleaning them.

Good times…

I bet Rarity got here 80s Fashion Vomit.

I know the perfect game for Pinkie, “Balloon Fight.”

Don’t forget “Ice Climber” features seal-abuse. >>273280 (Or at least in the Japanese version.)

I just hope they don’t play Duck Hunt while Futtershy’s around.
