Surely this video game console needs no introduction. For many it was their very first foray into the medium. With the NES Nintendo brought a marketplace back to life and made way for the industry as we know it today. Many genres and popular franchises were first created on this platform, and it’s no wonder it held the record in sales for many years. It’s flagship game, Super Mario Bros., is still to this day considered one of the finest video games ever created by most.
