Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Sub_to_TheGamer

Every generation of video game consoles brings on new challenges and new ideas. Out of all the major video game companies in the market today, none have gone through such drastic changes as Nintendo. As one of the longest running gaming companies in the world, Nintendo didn’t start with video games. In fact, their very first product ever was a line of hanafuda playing cards back in the 1890s. Now firmly in the video game industry, they have had a long list of consoles, each with unique designs and features. However, for today’s video we will be looking at something smaller, but just as iconic; the video game cartridge. From the Nintendo Entertainment System to the recent Switch, NIntendo has always had something for players to click in or insert to get the game started, and their history and evolution is an interesting tale. So we will be starting with the earliest example of cartridges, the Nintendo Entertainment. From there we will hit on other Nintendo gems like the Nintendo 64. We’ll even look into the development of some odder cartridges like the unique design of the DS and 3DS cartridges for their handheld systems. Lastly, we will take a look at the Nintendo switch and how this tiny tablet and console has taken the cartridge game a step further. Will Nintendo continue their tradition of cartridges in the future? Who’s to say, but sit back and relax and enjoy this dive into gaming history.
