Way to make me feel old.
I never had to do that to my N64 cartridges. That was the meme for the NES.
And even then, blowing on it didn’t really help. It was the ejecting and reinserting of the cartridge that fixed the issue because the slot on the NES was janky.
We did it with the SNES sometimes, too. But yeah, never had to blow in the 64 carts. They just always worked. Shit, one of our 64 games the shell broke off so it was just the PCB and even that always worked.
I never once felt the need to blow on a SNES cartridge either. I promise you, it was 100% only a NES thing.
In fact, the edge connector was never really the problem and blowing on it was never more than a placebo that actually did more harm than good. The real issue was the weird VCR-like insertion mechanism the NES used, and I’m pretty sure the later top-loader version solved the problem even for NES cartridges.
I had to if it got dusty. But then, that was… nearly 30 years ago and I was a wee lad.
SNES for me, and rather frequently.
America is a scratched PS1 disc, you have to turn your PS1 at an angle against the wall to get it to function properly.
Smear toothpaste on it
Right-ish, and far
Blowing and now against the wall? UwU
We tried it back in the 90s and it didn’t seem to help
I did not have sexual relations with that cartridge!
Except this game has a centuries long record of murdering and maiming women and children around the globe. Unplug it and toss it in the trash where it belongs.

Well it’s either that or we have to unplug it and plug it back in.
All you’re doing is corrode . . Nevermind keep blowing.
Clinton seemed to enjoy it
Metaphorically, the US does this every election cycle, hot swapping elected officials peacefully, usually without replacing incumbents. However, the problem is that your kid brother insists on trying the same corroded cartridges again and again because he loves seeing you squirm in frustration more than actually having a functioning system. Also, you don’t get to play until he gets a game over while you, in contrast, are on a set time limit.
