Statics!
I’m amused that he went on a tangent about reading the controller inputs. I wrote FPGA code in college to read off those same inputs. We wrote a TTL version of Dr. Mario and wanted a to use a real NES controller. I knew the SNES controller has the exact same order/prefix as the original NES and anticipated his same conclusion: laziness. 
IIRC early in development the SNES was going to be backward compatible, and a lot of the hardware design reflects this.
I’m not sure “reverse emulation” means anything. It’s more of a hack to give the NES digital video input. Which is super cool but might’ve been better implemented with some dual port RAM if I understand things correctly.
The leaked cancelled Pokémon.
Cartridge emulation.
This also explains why (or, at least, how) there’s 8-pixel-wide strips of “noise” in some games, most obviously the space between the level and the status footer in SMB3.

Basically every This Old Tony video is worth watching. He’s fucking great. And without the whining about social justice and repping Jordan Peterson that AVE occasionally engages in.

Someone hacked Super Mario 64 to make it look and sound like The Super Mario Bros. Super Show.
I was digging through ancient favorites on my Youtube when I found this.

This was my thing of yesterday but Paul Williams, musical director for the Muppet Show and The Muppet Movie responded to my Muppet tweet.
Care to link to said Tweet?
