Can you save games on original Nintendo?

Answer 1

Very very few. The technology for battery pack saving was just really starting out in the days of the NES. It was possible on some of the bigger games such as Final Fantasy, Metroid and Zelda though.

The NES Nintendo used a battery usually for saves. Unlike todays systems there was no hard drive or memory card so if the game didn't have built in capabilities you couldn't save. A lot of the games used codes that you entered that allowed you access back to the point you were at. Hope this helps mate.

Answer 2

Overall, No. The NES system itself had no capabilities that allowed it. No hard drive, or extra memory.

A lot of games used codes that allowed you to get back to a certain level. There were a few games, like Zelda that I believe had a small battery in the game cartridge itself that did allow a save!!

Alot of games like Super Mario 2, and 3, had "warp" zones, or other games had different variations of them. They allowed you to get further in the game after a relatively short session.

Answer 3

Several games featured the save file system however it was rather difficult to incorporate throughout the NES games so instead password systems were used. One example of a game with a save file system is Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

Answer 4

Yes, you can backup your original games on external hdd connected to the wii

Answer 5

It depends. Sometimes the games save right to the cartridge, and others may need a memory card that goes into the back of the controller.
