Of course, the older the console, the less likely component is an option, but in many cases you can find both official and third party connector cables that do the job nicely. However, in some cases—especially with older consoles like the Dreamcast, the Nintendo 64, or the GameCube, composite is your best option unless you opt for a hacked-together third party connector like the Dreamcast VGA adapter. The older you get, S-Video may be your best option, and if you have it on your TV, go for it as long as you don't have composite as an alternative.
Bottom line: Use the highest quality video connector available that's also available on your TV. The only time you should worry is if your console uses a connector that's not available on your TV. This trick won't work universally and we have another suggestion a little later if it doesn't , but with some consoles, like the original NES and several others from around the same time period, you can get away with connecting your RCA cables to the red and yellow composite video ports on the back of your TV.
Some older consoles, like the Sega Genesis, have full composite video cables, with all three red, white, and yellow connectors. If yours only has two, connect red to red there's almost always at least that and try the white one in either the white connector or the yellow one. As long as those cables aren't actually carrying audio, one of them is almost always audio and the other is video—if you can get video in the yellow port and audio into the red or white port, you're in business.
If the console you want to connect uses a connector that your TV just doesn't have, you'll need a converter or an adapter that will connect to a port your TV actually has. The easiest way to do this is to connect via coax, since most modern sets still have one, if for nothing else but old cable TV and over-the-air antenna connections. You can still use it if you want to and don't feel like buying anything new.
Just connect your single RCA cable from the console to the box, then connect a coaxial cable from the box into the cable or antenna port on the back of your TV.
You could just go rent games! Nothing special at all here. Basically it is just an updated box for for the original in I really just wanted to show the different later release version for those who may not have known. In Nintendo had a few 4 player games that came out where you could go out and buy the NES satellite so you could play with 4 friends which was a crazy idea and a very new concept. It was a very different time. Also, 4 players was unheard of. It was ground breaking really.
Nintendo was really ahead of the game in many departments. Nintendo did eventually came out with 23 different games that you could play more than 2 players on. You can read about it on Wikipedia here. As you can see this came with a lot.
You got 4 controllers, a NES satellite, game cartridge, system and hookups. No Zapper, super Mario or anything like that. Most of these are missing things and the satellite typically yellowed a little. Nintendo must have cheapened there materials in later years because you started to see a lot of yellowing systems, controllers, and such. This is just the basic Control Deck set that they added a boxed and sealed Super Mario 3. Here is a video below of a crazy man opening a brand new version to show you the insides.
This was dead mint and never opened. Oh it really hurts me to watch that. This is why I am writing this blog to really express the difference in values and why.
If you see something go for a crazy high amount, it is likely because it was dead mint or never opened. The last one on our list and one of my favorites! Why was this such a great system you might ask? Everyone who has ever owned a NES knows about blowing on games. You basically had to blow on games for 2 reasons:. Everyone was used to blowing on games and putting them in the system multiple times, sometimes even wedging things above the game in the system to put pressure down giving it a more positive connection on the worn out 72 pin connectors.
They even have shirts today that joke about blowing on NES games. This is where the top loader comes in. With the old system, pressing the game down inside the system created a positive connection. With the top loader, it is a positive connection right out of the gate. I think the 72 pin system was way over thought and could have been much simpler.
This means that there was one less area to not have a connection. It was just a nicer system all around. Below you can see the inside:.
As you can see this was a very basic system. This was kind of lame, because it forced someone to go out and buy another controller if you wanted to play a 2 player game.
It is a little more sought after as it was one of the better systems in my opinion for reasons already stated above. The dog bone controllers also fetch a slightly higher price because they are a little more rare.
There is a lot to take into consideration as you can see when trying to price or figure out a price for any version NES. Please, please, please, take into consideration the condition and completeness and you can always refer back to this blog as a reference or reach out and email me for any further questions. There are other reasons, too. If you take your Nintendo Switch on holiday and find there is a big TV you can use for multiplayer action, you're stuck.
You probably didn't pack the dock, after all. Not to mention, it's quite nice to have the Switch in full view instead of hidden in the dock. If you like to play Switch games with the console mounted on a stand, having the option of swapping to the big screen is good.
It's also an option you don't usually have. The video and power cabling on a Nintendo Switch is routed into the back of the dock. You probably recall from setting the device up that the ports are covered with a hinged door. Power and data for all these connections are converted to USB-C which is then routed around the bottom of the dock. This single port charges the battery and keeps the device powered when docked.
There should be absolutely no difference to the experience, other than the absence of the Nintendo Switch dock. As you can see, this is a relatively straightforward process. You need to make sure you have an adapter that is compatible with the Nintendo Switch. The adapter should also have a USB-C connector.
A ton of options are available online. Not all of these are suitable for the Nintendo Switch.
