Orientation
I'm a little confused about this. Why does the pin orientation for the NES appear to be viewed from underneath the connector? Wouldn't it make more sense if it was a top-down view like on the famicom diagram? - Rainwarrior 20:45, 26 August 2012 (MDT)
- Probably to be consistent with standard pinout numbering, which always goes counterclockwise and has pin 1 as top-left. It's also consistent with the edge on the mainboard. Not the best of reasons... —Lidnariq 20:53, 26 August 2012 (MDT)
