NES

For those of you out of the loop, Did You Know Gaming is a fun site dedicated to sharing obscure trivia and facts about video games, both new and old. The site also runs a YouTube channel which gets updated on a fairly frequent basis, featuring videos about particular series, companies, or consoles and narrated by popular YouTube hosts.

Just earlier today, a video went live that covers the NES/Famicom, Nintendo’s first foray into home console development. As usual, there are many surprising and rather off the wall facts, such as how the Famicom’s original red color was based off of Hiroshi Yamauchi’s favorite scarf or how there was a knitting peripheral released for the Famicom in Japan. It’s an entertaining watch and well worth the six minutes or so of your time. Check it out and tell us what you think:
