In the new 'Did You Know Gaming?' video series, we gain a deeper insight into the NES and its history.
Among other things, we learn that the Famicom was meant to introduce arcade games to the living room and was planned as the first online gaming console. It got its red colouring because it was the same colour as Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi's favourite scarf at the time.
The show contains plenty of fun info on the machine. Click here to watch.
