Netflix finally comes to … the Nintendo Entertainment System

The mad scientists in Netflix’s engineering lab have come up with a way of streaming its videos to a 30-year-old gaming console.

Netflix now works on the Nintendo Entertainment System (via Polygon), which first debuted in the United States in 1985. The company got this crime against physics and nature working during one of its recent Netflix Hack Days, which it occasionally hosts to come up with new ideas that don’t have to have any practical purpose. The latest Hack Day resulted in Netflix engineers Guy Cirino, Alex Wolfe, and Carenina Motion developing what they call DarNES, a cartridge that enables browsing and streaming of Netflix video in very, very low quality.
