Question Asked: When Did The First Nintendo Come Out?
The original Nintendo, dubbed “Nintendo Entertainment System”, was first released by Nintendo in Japan on July 15th, 1983.
Nintendo then brought it to America on October 18th, 1985.
It has since gone on to sell just shy of 62 million units worldwide.
The NES began being phased out in the late ’80s, as the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) was in development. SNES was available in August of ‘91, and marked the death of the NES.
Many gamers today still have their Nintendo systems, and often set them up for nostalgic purposes. Though hard to come by, every now and again you can find one on eBay.
