In french we call cartridge "cassette" too

Yeah... just look on the back label of a N64 game pak...
The japanese one is called "Cassette", not cartridge...
The US is "Game Pak", not cartridge...
The brazilian is "Cartucho", at least one means cartridge... =P
In SNES, the japanese is labeled as "Super Famicom Cassette"...
Not that wrong, after all... ^^'
* But why it's not in the wrong section?
This one is not for devs?

Yes but he is American. Americans don't call them cassettes. If i'm not mistaken I think cassette is a French word, right?

Your right, but it refert usualy to magnetic tape like VHS or Audio Tape. I think the right word is "cartouche".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassette
Cassette may refer to:
In general, a small cartridge.[1] It may refer specifically to:
Compact Cassette, a worldwide standard for analog audio recording and playback, also known as audio cassette, cassette tape, or tape
Digital Audio Tape (or DAT), a digital audio cassette tape format, mainly used by professionals
Digital Compact Cassette (or DCC), a short-lived digital audio cassette format aimed at domestic users
Videocassette, a cassette containing videotape, for use in VCRs
1. ^ In practice, there is a large amount of overlap between the two terms, and the term chosen may be somewhat arbitrary.
IIRC Konami (over in japan) refer to them like that. I don't think it makes you stupid

He called a cartridge a cassette.... I think that's stupidity enough.

Maybe hes in new york now, but originally from france?? I dunno, its not like it really matters if he called it a cartridge or cassette, either way is right ( I live in ohio and i call them cartridges, however a friend of mine, also from ohio, calls them cassettes, and has ever since he was a little kid.)
