How Do You Program Nintendo Games?

If you can find some way to poke bytes into it, that's how you'd program it. Normally you'd probably have a developer kit with some interface (probably a carthridge) to download code into it with a cross-assembler for building the actual programs. I'm sure there's also some sort of library for calling graphic and sounds routines. It would be cool if it had a BASIC interpreter but it doesn't, and I doubt if one was ever developed for it, but wouldn't be surprised if one was as side project of some programmer.
