About the Nintendo Entertainment System
Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES, is an 8-bit video game console released by Nintendo in North America, Brazil, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Its Japanese equivalent is known as the Famicom ('Family Computer').
The most successful gaming console of its time in Asia and North America (Nintendo claims to have sold over 60 million NES units worldwide), it helped revitalize the video game industry following the video game crash of 1983, and set the standard for subsequent consoles in everything from game design (the first modern platform game, Super Mario Bros., was the system’s first "killer game") to business practices.
By the early 90s the console was at the height of its power, but at the time Europe was very much a Sega stronghold, with the Master System selling as well (if not better) than Nintendo's machine.
