How to Hook Up Nintendo NES

The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), released in 1983, is a third-generation video game console with a wide variety of legendary games, such as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and Contra. Some modern TVs lack a coaxial cable port, which is the primary signal used by the NES. If you wish to connect your NES to a modern television, the process is as simple as it is with the coaxial signal.
