Never forget, they had Rob the robot. And to my recollection, he only worked with Gyromite.

A lot of that was necessary for Nintendo get away from the "it's a video game console" comparison after the video game market crash. That's why the NES looks like a VCR too.

  • Also NES appeared before the US as a VCR design because well, American's loved VCRs

When you try weird shit you’re bound to have failures. Nintendo has a remarkable success rate with their weird shit, though.
