Surprisely (but not for those who knows) that the CPU in the Nitendo is the
very famous 6502! However, I believe that they included some sound chip and 
graphic chips so they seems to have batter graphic and sound. The size of the
board should not be really that large as the case as I used to play on the 
japanese' original Nitendo home video games. The size of the case is less then
1/4 of the American version. (After all, I was surprised when I saw that the
American Nitendo is a HUGE box.) BTW, I've seen some "Nitendo clones" which are
made in Hong Kong, Korea, and Taiwan, there size are even smaller then the
original Japanese one; so I believe that it is "possible" to make a card to
play Nitendo games on an Apple II family.
