NES

Gaming is becoming more and more mainstream with every turn, and sometimes we have to take a step back to realise just how far we've come, and depending on your age that could go back anywhere between the GameCube and the ZX Spectrum.

To give you some perspective of the progress we've seen, take some typical modern teenagers and put an NES in front of them. That's the basic premise for the video below, and it's intriguing to see how differently each individual reacts to the system and the original Super Mario Bros. courtesy of The Fine Bros. on YouTube who previously showed us how a group of children responded to the original Game Boy.

Some of the guys and girls featured show more knowledge about the console than others, but the fun part is watching the less Nintendo-savvy teens tackle the tricky task of inserting a cartridge.

As a bonus, The Fine Bros. have also exposed these younglings to the less-than intuitive Punch-Out!! for the same console, and you can find that video below the first.

Are you surprised by the reaction of today's youth towards Nintendo's first home console, or is their response largely what you expected? Let us know in the comments!
