- Watch as I tear down, deep clean, and restore this updated version of the Original Nintendo Entertainment System. This edition was released after the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) was already on the market as an attempt to get some longevity out of Nintendo's expansive library of NES games. Design improvements and design simplicity make this the system of choice!

Little moment of Nintendo and video games history:
I have heard that the original NES you shown, the one almost everyone knows in America and Europe, has this specific way of putting games on it on the front for a reason: at this time video games were almost only found in arcade places, and it was the very beginning of home consoles, so Nintendo tried to make its console looks like something a lot of people knew, and had in their own house: a VHS reader.
This is also the reason games cartridges looks really different in Japan and in the rest of the world. Search for Japanese Famicom games and you'll see that the Japanese version is significantly smaller than the ones the rest of the world had.
If you open a NES game, you generally find out that the PCB containing the game is really small compared to the size of the cartridge, and is indeed the size of a Famicom cartridge. Nintendo had to make their worldwide cartridges longer in order to fit in this specific type of cartridge port.
The fact that they never used it again, and only made top cartridge ports after the first version of the NES, is probably due to the explosion the video games had, notably thanks to Nintendo, and they didn't have to create specific console designs to looks like a VHS reader or anything else, because a lot of people knew what a video game console was. This is why the SNES and Super Famicom, despite having a different aspect, are internally similar, and Japanese and worldwide cartridges are almost the same.
After that, Nintendo will almost all of the time release the exact same console for everyone, sometime with games being region restricted (PAL A and B, NTSC...) for different reasons such as the norms used in TVs and to limit the hacking of their games, but it seems that nowadays these limitations don't exist anymore in modern consoles.
Thanks for the video, this console is beautiful, and the work you put on it is fantastic ! It is always a pleasure to see old consoles looking this great, almost as out of the box !
The only thing I would disagree with is the explosion video games had due to Nintendo, micro computer gaming was big especially in Europe which is why in many parts of Europe Sega dominated as console gaming only began in the very late 80's there whilst microcomputing gaming was around as early as 1981.
Did you know that cleaning the shell of NES games with dish soap and water works great? Just rinse it off with water and use a soft toothbrush with drop of soap and you can ev brush the labels. Just needs to be done rather quickly since the back label sucks up water rather fast. After a rinse under running water simply dab it off and let the labels dry out for an hour or two and it'll be good as new!
The edges of the stickers will start to bloat a little but that goes back to normal after drying off.
Remember to not let it soak and do it with running water and you'll have the cleanest cart you'll ever see :)
For rust try to get some Acetum (it's virtually the same as vinegar but but tends to be a bit more acidic and have less taste additives).
Both work fine though. If you have a rusty stove for instance just splash some on there, let it sit and aggitate it now and then and the acid will literally eat away all the rust and leave the metal undeath untouched.
Anything acidic will work, even a lemon, the less acidic the more time it will take to get the rust off.
Sadly the redesign never got released in Europe so the front loading original is all we got - I think the NES2 could have done well here given how popular the Master System continued to be into the 16 bit era. Would love the reliability the redesigned cart slot plus lack of 10NES provides!
This was my first console. My mom found one of these model 2 systems at a Sears and bought it for me and my little sister.
Great vid! I got a top loader about a year ago. I bought a modded one online that has composite output, simulated stereo sound and has a power LED installed under the power switch. It is by far the best NES you can get. While I prefer the front loader design from an aesthetic point of view, the top loader wins hands down otherwise.
The smaller form factor and cartridge loading system on this one is hard to beat, but I agree the nostalgia factor of the old version is hard to beat. Great video.
These are always so satisfying 😊
Love the videos!
I never seen the NES Top Loader inside before. I saw the NES Front Loader inside a few times.
If you're gonna use vinegar, keep in mind that it will most likely also strip away any metal plating (nickel, chrome, zinc, ect...) thus exposing the base metal to the elements. This will cause rust, so you would have to either re-electroplate it, or paint it. Also if you leave it in long enoug, the metal will tarnish.
Thanks. I will have to look into this.
I had both and have the one you just cleaned as well. I cleaned mine out after this was picked over mine, not that I had a problem with it. Such an easy clean and looks new again!
Love this channel
Always want one of that NES I love your videos bro salutes from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 and happy New Year
Thanks and same to you!
I used the top loader style like in this add but you still had the pleasure of blowing on the cartridge and inside the slot when trying to get a game loading
So nice and clean! Definitely feels like the "PSone" version of the NES. Guessing the transistor didn't originally have any thermal compound to interface with that metal bracket?
Yeah that's a good question
I know it does on the front loading NES, but I'm not sure about the top loader. I never had a top loader as a kid, and I haven't had any come in for repair yet. Looks good!
I remember the dog bone controller, it felt much better in the hand than the square one that I still have knots from.
I've never seen one of these before! This was cool.
ETA: I experienced some mild anxiety at the thought that you might pick a color other than pink for your gloves 😅 Never change! 😂
I love it! lol
For playing NES games these days I use an A/V Famicom that has a NESRGB board installed into it with a cart adapter to play North American games. I also enjoying playing on a Twin Famicom as well. Don't think I will ever miss the front loading NES though that is the one I had as a kid.
The Version 2 NES reminds me allot of the Version 2 SNES. In terms of how it looks and how simplistic it is compaired to the original versions.
I thought the same thing
A stock top loader will have vertical bars and RF output. The front loafer is fat superior. My top loader also has trouble reading games too so they're not all indestructible. Front loader for me with compositie !
Gotta wash the shtuff with watery soap! :)
3:43 ahhh, the sweet crunchy silence. 😂
lol
I have a nintendo power glove, I wanted to restore. I do not know if it works but the more I watch your videos, the more I feel like it would be a great candidate for a restoration/ clean up. @Restorish
Is this an informercial for the iFixit precision cleaning kit? I'm genuinly interested in buying one now, lol. I do a lot of cleaning and repairs on electronics as well. Like you and Steve.
I had both the original NES-001 and this version the NES-101 I liked the 101 for being dependable but was disappointed in only having RF I think they should have released it with the same connector as the SNES multi out port but that's just one guy's opinion :)
There are RGB mods that also add the multi out port. That is what I will be doing with my NES-101 soon
I can see the color change in the video.
Got one for Christmas after launch, so have had both for a while now. Picture is not as good with RF vs AV, but gave us the Dogbone Controller.
Infeel like the spot you "overcleaned" was already damaged to a degree. If you look at the after before footage its still there.
Would it be possible to use some mid-grit sandpaper to scuff up that smooth spot?
I wonder if they changed the startup screen for this 🤔
The nsnes was a great upgrade for the nes. Although the nes is original the nsnes is probably better…
And then they got the nesc. I don’t really know much about this but they are all great gaming consoles.
With the top loader u can play all nes games no région lock
8:23 don't be too hard on yourself. What's worse a worn shiny spot or the dark dirt that you were removing? 😅
i was just given on of these to repair its not turning on at all and theres no ifixit guides. my first true test as a repair guy i guess
Have you ever deep cleaned a Nintendo 64? I just got one from CeX here in Northern Ireland and its so dusty and dirty.
I have cleaned a few of them. One Pikachu edition that I made a video about. Good dirty consoles are hard to come by when you are looking for them!
@RestorishOfficial it's working and clean. Not bad for 45 pound tbh
Don’t take this personally but maybe don’t talk during these. 😂
Disagree, there are so many other cleaning channels without speaking, so if anything you have other options to watch
