Actually, the original NES is remarkably sturdy. It only has one flaw, that being the 72-pin connector bends permanently after a while and makes it hard for the games to work right. Except for this one piece, most NES systems in existence still work swimmingly. If only they had retained the top-loading design of the Famicom over here... |
After the release of the SNES, they made a top-loading NES and sold it in America. It had much better reliability than the original. I don't know about the connector getting bent -- I know tons of people who still have a working NES after 20+ years. If you keep it clean and keep your cartridges clean, you won't have a problem.
