Mr. Gimmick is a Famicom game by Sunsoft; released only in Japan and Scandinavia. Recently 1up blog retronauts featured a four part utube video on the rare game. An interesting side scroller you might want to look around for on the internet even if it's just to play it on an emulator. Although you might miss out on the music that a special sound chip on the original cartridge was able to deliver.

A training video from 1991 aimed at retail workers to show different things Nintendo had in place to help deal with customer returns and nintendo hardware repair. Only thing I can think of when watching this video is how many mint sealed nes games and accessories line the shelves. In the opening shot you can even see the top shelf holds nothing but u-force controllers.
One thing that you can find aplenty on youtube is video game music performed on a dizzying array of instruments. In this case we have the classic Mario Bros. theme beatboxed on a flute.
