Celebrity Takahashi talks about the color of red and white cassettes: FC cassettes are not just yellow!

The well-known "16-shot master" and legendary game player Takahashi recently revealed the old news and secrets behind the colors of red and white console cassettes when interacting with fans on social platforms - how was the color of the classic yellow cassettes that players were familiar with back then? Let’s find out.

Old players all remember that most of the red and white console cartridges circulating in the country are mainly eye-catching yellow, but the genuine cartridges launched by the original Nintendo actually have a rich color selection. According to Takahashi's recollection, during his early tenure at the famous gaming company Hudson, the production of all third-party game cartridges had to be handed over to Nintendo. The final color of the cartridge shell was not determined by the game manufacturer alone - a core figure within Nintendo would decide on the final color from the preset color options based on his intuitive impression of the game content.

This statement sparked heated discussion among players, who all lamented, "So that's how it is." It was further supported by classic cases: For example, the "Bomberman" cartridge was selected from the three-color scheme of blue, black, and yellow due to the personal judgment of a certain Nintendo decision-maker. This seemingly random color selection logic has become an "important secret" in players' memories.
