Ever wonder what a U-Force is? Do you know what a 64DD was meant to be? If not, I've collaborated a couple videos and encyclopedia links to slake your desire for obscure Nintendo factoids.

Phew.... Mind you, I've left quite a few peripherals and console permutations out of this collaborated list of articles, but most not mentioned are better known, (such as the Gameboy Printer). I hope that someone out there will use this for reference!

I never will forget R.O.B!!! And who doesn't like moving a trampoline for babies to land on from jumping from a burning buliding! Or catching water drops in cups?! Mr Game and watch was class!
