Cowgod, how do almost 40yo NES and SNES cartridge batteries still work?

This is why if you collect Games it should just be for Genesis/32X. Just strictly badass games with no save feature. |

Date: May 16th, 2025 7:17 PM Author: magenta motley associate orchestra pit I can't think of a western-made game in the NES era that had a battery. Likewise for SNES but I suppose there are some. Even longish western games like Jurassic Park for SNES didn't have a save feature. That game is like 6 hours long if you know what you're doing. I played the first hour 50 times.
Either way the actual batteries would've been spec'd by Nintendo/Sony/Sega (Japanese Supervision).
Even in the N64 era, western devs resisted Batteries. They were the Scumbags making us use the "controller pak" to save. |
