The Short and Sweet on Connecting Your Nintendo
Connecting an original Nintendo to a modern TV involves a few steps. First, you’ll need the right cables. Most original Nintendo consoles came with an RF switch and an RCA composite cable. Your TV might need an adapter if it doesn’t have the right ports.
Once you have the necessary cables, it’s mostly about plugging the right connectors into the right ports. If you’re using an RF switch, connect it to the coaxial port on your TV. For RCA cables, plug them into the composite input ports. Then, just switch your TV to the correct input channel, and you’re all set to play!
