| | Nintendo Entertainment System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | For the rest of the decade, Nintendo was the undisputed master of the US and Japanese gaming markets, and its game titles were breaking sales records. | | | Nintendo has mimicked the look of the controller in several recent products, from promotional merchandise to a limited edition version of the Game Boy Advance SP handheld game console. | | | Nintendo's near monopoly on the home video game market left it with a degree of influence over the industry exceeding even that of Atari during its heyday in the early 1980s. |

| | Well by some ironic machination of fate, it just so happened that the NES didn't piss people off with piss poor arcade translations or overhashed maze games, it actually had games that were cool, it had games with some depth, replayability, and graphics as good as the home computers, an it's games were fun. | | | So all you fools say what you want about Nintendo, the fact is there would be no Playstation 2 or X box if Nintendo hadn't bit the bullet and took a risk by releasing game console to a virtually dead market. | | | Sad thing is that as time goes on the game data on the disks will eventually fade and corrupt, leaving the pirate cart versions of such games the only ones available. |

| | Nintendo Famicom Disk System Console Information |
| | Nintendo's answer to this was to release an add-on for the Famicom that would allow disk-based games to be played on the system. | | | At this time, most of the current Famicom ROM cartridge games were very basic - simple arcade ports and one-screen games - due to the small capacity of cartridges of that time. | | | Today, the FDS is hard to come by outside of Japan, but is worth looking for if you're into collecting for the Nintendo Famicom |

| | The Famicom's crimson walls and golden pyramid elevate and love the cartridge; no matter what the game, no matter what color its cartridge, that color is important, and right there in front of you, even as you play. | | | Even though each Kunio-kun sports game looks remarkably like the sport it's supposed to look like while in play, each one has a different cartridge decal and a different cartridge color, just so you can tell each game apart in three different ways at all times, even if such famicomugly cross-identification is entirely unnecessary. | | | It's just to say that to a guy like me, who stepped into Shiki's ROM HOUSE and saw his first Famicom in October of 2001, the Famicom is a nasty little relic of the nasty little past. |

| | Via the Famicom Network, Japanese children were given the opportunity to play video games (among others, Henk Roger's go game proved to be popular) against a child on the other side of Japan. | | | Initially, Nintendo of America decided to launch the network for the sole purpose of game playing and then add other abilities as time progressed and users became accustomed to navigating the service. | | | What many fail to realize is that Nintendo has in fact given online gaming a chance during just about every console generation since the original Nintendo Entertainment System. |

| | Nintendo's "Seal of Quality" wasn't a measure of how good the game was, the seal just meant that the company had paid a licensing fee and that the game didn't contain adult content. | | | Nintendo started out in 1889 as a playing card company and started getting into videogames in the early '80s, producing hits like Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. | | | In America, it was much harder to distribute unlicensed NES software, but Tengen, a subsidiary of Atari Games and former Nintendo licensee, announced in 1988 that it had bypassed Nintendo's "lockout chip" and planned to manufacture and distribute its games independently. |

Of course, Nintendo would have their own take on the dot-munching genre, and in 1984 they released Devil World. |
