[game_preservation] New Nintendo Cartridge by Google!

[Jim Leonard]

I don't dispute these facts, but I think the context in which I made my 
post was lost.  There have been homebrews, and there is a prototype with 
ethernet.  But there have been no Famicom/NES games, homebrew or 
otherwise, with a built-in RJ45 ethernet jack.

My post was specifically in response to "I'm not sure what the big deal 
is about this, there are new homebrew games all the time."
