Nintendo Entertainment System

The Nintendo Entertainment System or NES/Famicon is a 8-Bit video game console from Nintendo.

History
After the video game crash of 83' video games where hard to make or to release a new console, that was until Nintendo released the Nes, to differ against a console they made the design a VCR so that it would blend in with the VCRs, the console quickly became popular and video games where back from the dead, with games like Super Mario Bros. helping the consoles launch.

As the years went on, more games from first party and third party where releasing games through out the late 80's and even the early 90's, and accessories like the NES Zapper making the console having more sales, however the NES would get discontinued by 1994.

By the 90's the NES was getting old and newer consoles like the SNES and Sega Genesis being more powerful and better graphics, the NES stopped production in 1994, with Wario's Woods being the last first party game for the system.

NES Mini
In 2016, Nintendo released the NES mini, packing in 30 games and customization, the console paved the way for more mini consoles, like the SNES mini.

The NES 2
In 1993, Nintendo released the Nes 2 or the top-loader, it was a version of the NES that came with new controllers, called "Dog Bone" and had no AV, which meant the picture on the TV would be messy, in Japan there was AV in it, but the only way to had AV on a North american version is to contact Nintendo or lend a professional to do it.
