This is by far the BEST VIDEO EVER on the history of the NES. If you watch ONE VIDEO in 2025 then make it this one!
If you watch TWO VIDEOS, then add Frank's presentation at PRGE as well (link to that at the video below), those two videos go together like "Jabba" and "the Hutt".

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...
