Recommended Videos

There is absolutely no way anyone in their right mind can make a list of the top pieces of Nintendo hardware and not include this baby. The father of all that came afterwards, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) paved the way for video game consoles that followed. Launching in North America in late 1985 it is often credited with saving home console gaming. The home gaming market was over saturated with competitors and was severely lacking quality control.

The NES offered consumers consistency, something severely lacking in the home console options at the time. Providing a platform that allowed individuals to enjoy games without the worry of varying quality help to build confidence in the market. With a simple controller for input and and a bevy of interesting and varied, quality titles it was as good of a first outing as anyone could ask for.
