The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) is an 8-bit third-generation home video game console produced, released, and marketed by Nintendo. It was initially released in Japan as the Family Computer (commonly known by the portmanteau abbreviation Famicom) on July 15, 1983, and later released in North America during 1985, in Europe during 1986, and Australia in 1987.
History[edit | edit source]
The NES was launched through test markets in New York City and Los Angeles in 1985, before being given a wide release in the rest of North America and other countries. The NES was succeeded by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
Hardware[edit | edit source]
The NES uses a custom-made 2A03 8-bit microprocessor.
Software[edit | edit source]
The NES had a number of groundbreaking games, such as the platform game Super Mario Bros and the action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
The NES is considered one of the most important and influential video game consoles in history. It helped revitalize the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983, and set the standard for subsequent consoles in everything from game design to controller layout.
