    Blow in it/on cartridge. Occasionally clean contacts w/ q-tip and rubbing alcohol. The end.

    I think you meant:

    But I'm no English professor.

    Definitely true. My original NES still works completely fine (given that you occasionally blow out the dust). Since then, I've had two PS2s and an Xbox break. I guess the simple ass electronics with less moving parts (ie CD drives) is the key.

    Well considering to service the thing all you need to do is blow in it or the game, I could see why Nintendo would think that...
