Controller Test Program (Japan)
Today we have released the Controller Test Program for the Famicom, which as the name implies, was used to test both controllers on units at Nintendo’s Uji Ogura factory in the mid 80s. The controller testing software can be seen in use within the image below, in what appears to be a Donkey Kong cartridge shell!
Interestingly, just like the Port Test Cartridge for the NES, the data contains early graphics from Popeye. This is due to the fact that a factory cartridge containing all of these tests exists, thus these graphics were left over. Unfortunately this cartridge has not yet been found, but video of it can be viewed within various pieces of news B-roll footage.
