It wasn't yesterday, it's today.
That Google Maps thing got REALLY nerdy on some Famicom. I hate to pick apart a joke... wait I love doing that. Here goes.
The microphone on controller 2 wasn't sensitive enough for voice recognition. It only detected volume. There already was a modem add-on for the Famicom. It sure would have been funny to see that in there. I mean, if they're adding in a modem to a Famicom cart, why not go all in and add an ethernet jack for broadband? I'm pretty sure the Famicom didn't need "blowing" or any other home remedies because it was a top loader. However, the first run of the console did have a severe issue that could result in a dead system in a lot of cases. Nintendo quickly repaired the issue in the second run on out.
Anyway, still very funny stuff.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
