It's possible to access an additional 256 worlds in the game through a glitch. There are two methods to access them via the Japanese Famicom version:
• Having a copy of both Super Mario Bros. and Tennis, first insert the Mario cartridge and then remove the game at the title screen whilst it's still on. Then insert the Tennis cartridge, and during a match, remove the game and place Super Mario Bros. back in. Reset the console and at the title screen hold down A and press Start.
• The second method involves the Family Basic cartridge and the keyboard peripheral. By inputting a series of code and then swapping the cartridge with Super Mario Bros., reset the console and then hold down A and press Start, which will grant players access to one of the 256 glitch worlds.

The Tennis method can also be done with the western version of Super Mario Bros. but only on the NES-101 model.

Each of the worlds appear to reuse assets from the other levels, resulting in various bugged stages. The Tennis game method is possible presumably due to both it and Super Mario Bros. using the same addresses, but don't place the same check values. Leaving the power on also retains the RAM and the previous check value remains.

During the announcement livestream unveiling the console and introducing many of its features, constant use of the Xbox Kinect sensor's vocal recognition was used. However, some users tuning in to watch the stream using their Xbox 360 were interrupted whenever voice commands were used, as their Kinects would recognize the commands coming from their TV speakers.

Playing the Joker's Carnival Challenge Map as Robin will have The Joker express surprise that Robin "is still alive." Joker is confusing this game's Robin, Tim Drake (the 3rd Robin) for Jason Todd, the 2nd Robin that Joker killed in the comics. Spoiler:Jason Todd appears in Batman: Arkham Knight as the eponymous antagonist, with a reference to Joker torturing, brainwashing and seemingly killing him, making it more odd he'd confuse Tim with Jason.

According to the Masayuki Uemura, one of Nintendo's hardware designers who oversaw the design of the Famicom, the reason the console was named the "Family Computer" was because during the '80s, words like "personal computer" and "home computer" became widespread in Japan, and the word 'Family' hadn't been used yet. Uemura also wanted to call it "Famicom" for short, after having it suggested to him by his wife, but the idea was rejected by Nintendo's then boss, believing "Family Computer" to be easier to understand, although the moniker was still colloquially used by many.
