Krikzz just announced that the anticipated NES edition of the N8 Pro is now available for order. The NES N8 Pro shares the exact same features as its already released Famicom counterpart. The cartridge pinout difference (NES: 72-pin, Famicom: 60-pin) between both cartridges stands in the way of systems cross-compatibility. I would like to note […]
