NES games: common questions
What consoles play NES games?
The original front-loading NES and the later top-loading NES-101 both play North American NES cartridges.
Should you blow into NES cartridges?
No. Blowing adds moisture that can corrode the contacts. Dirty contacts are the usual reason a game won’t start, and cleaning them properly is the fix. Every cartridge we sell is cleaned first.
Do NES games save?
Most NES games don’t save at all, and some use passwords. A few, like The Legend of Zelda, save to a small battery inside the cartridge.
Are your NES games tested?
Yes. Every item is cleaned and tested on real hardware before it ships, and it’s covered by our 180-day warranty and 30-day returns.
