The NES was heralded upon its debut (under the name Famicon in Japan) in ’83 as one of the greatest systems, if not THE greatest system, ever built. Although the console didn’t make its way to the United States until ’85, it still managed to breathe new life into the flailing video game industry and set the gold bar for all future game endeavors.
The 8-bit system included titles from licensed third-party developers that produced and distributed software for the platform, resulting in hundreds of games. Simply put, the NES was revolutionary and spawned several of the most iconic video game franchises of all time including Super Mario Bros, Mega Man, Final Fantasy, and the Legend of Zelda. And even though it is far less powerful than most phones today, it’s still just as awesome.
