The NES (unless I still half asleep) executes 6502 code. The Super NES
is 65816. I think the GameBoy is Z80 (I've never programmed on it).
And the N64 uses a 4000 series MIPS processor (4300 or 4400 I'm not
sure)(I've never programmed it either).
You could write code in 'C' if you have a cross compiler. On the N64, I'll bet
that most of the programming is done in 'C' (maybe 99%) because there you are
using Libraries that handle all of the low level stuff.
