How to Hook Up an Original Nintendo to Your Smart TV

Got an original Nintendo and a modern Smart TV? Wondering how you can connect these two for a blast from the past gaming experience? You’re in the right place!

Let’s dive into connecting your classic Nintendo console to your Smart TV and get you up and running in no time.

Quick and Easy Steps to Connect

First things first, you’ll need an RF switch or AV-to-HDMI converter. Nowadays, most Smart TVs lack the traditional RF connector that the original Nintendo uses, but don’t worry; there’s a simple workaround.

For an RF switch, connect it to the ‘Antenna In’ on your TV and plug the other end into your Nintendo. You might need to tune your TV to the correct channel, usually 3 or 4. If you’re using an AV-to-HDMI converter, plug your Nintendo’s AV cables into the converter and connect the HDMI end to your TV. Make sure to switch your TV’s input to the corresponding HDMI channel.
