MAGFest 2019: The Strange Death of the Nintendo Entertainment System

Nintendo’s NES console quietly died in 1995 after its last official games came out in so the story usually goes. But a combination of third-world manufacturing, patent expirations, and the birth of emulators means that not a year has gone by without brand new NES games being made, usually in places you wouldn’t think to look. Join Video Game History Foundation director Frank Cifaldi as we look at the weird, wild, unexplored world of the NES’ post-mortem years. Panelist: Frank Cifaldi is the founder of The Video Game History Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to making sure the people of the future know everything they need to know about the games of today.
