Nintendo drops NES support

Nintendo have done the unimaginable (mainly because we can’t believe it was still going on) and dropped support of the NES. After 24 years of service the little trooper is being laid to rest. This means that you’ll have to take extra good care of little Nessy now, as the big N won’t be helping you out when too much spittle gets blown into the cartridge port. On the upside, those with mint condition consoles just started getting a little bit richer. Nintendo have also let it be known that the SNES, Nintendo 64, Gameboy and Gameboy Pocket aren’t far from “going to live at a farm” either.

    Do you know how to clean the NES? My cartridges seem to wig-out after playing for a bit…assuming I can get the game going. Any suggestions?
