The following comes from an Afternoon News interview with Nintendo...
Afternoon News: ‘I believe there are holes on the top of [Famicom] cartridges. Do you know what kind of meaning they had?’
Nintendo: ‘Yes, to be honest, they were just part of the design.’
Afternoon News: ‘Um, these aren’t holes made during the molding or the assembly?’
Nintendo: ‘That’s correct. They’re just [part of the cartridge’s] design.’
Well we have the answer, but I would like to know why! Why did Nintendo think holes in the cartridge were an aesthetically pleasing approach?
