If the Nintendo used a 65816, wouldn't it be easier to convince Mensch to do
his work faster..

The Nintendo Control Deck uses a 65(C)02. The actual unit was designed in 1983
or 1984, long before the 65816 became availible.

I have no idea of the resolution of the Nintendo system, it's not that great
though.

Other specs you might be interested in (I sell these things for a living...)

NEC TurboGraphx 16 uses a 7mhz 65C02 and has a resolution of 320*200*16.

Sega Master System uses a Z80 with a slightly higher resolution than the
nintendo.

Sega Genesis uses a 8mhz 68000 and a 320*200*16 screen resolution. The
Genesis also has a Z80 inside, to allow it to play the old cartridges.
