Nintendo Consoles

Nintendo first started making video game consoles after seeing the success of other electronic games. The first system ever released by Nintendo was the Famicom in 1983. The Famicom cost about 100 dollars back then and sold over 500,000 units. But they soon had to recall it due to faults that made it impossible to play games. In 1985 Nintendo released a new system called the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES for short). The NES soon became one of the most renown systems of all time after launching many famous titles that we know today including the original Legend of Zelda. Next came the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The SNES was released in 1991. Building off the success of the original NES, the SNES soon took over the other systems out there. The SNES became known for its top of the line graphics plus building off of previous games with releases such as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Nintendo then brought the world of gaming into the third dimension in 1996 with the Nintendo 64. The Nintendo 64 was praised for bringing many of the most well-known game series into the third dimension. Some of those games were The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. In 2002, Nintendo released the Nintendo GameCube. The GameCube pushed Nintendo out of the cartridge era and into the disk era. It also enhanced the graphics greatly. More renown games came along with it too such as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure. In 2006, the Nintendo Wii was launched which made gaming wireless. They also re-released The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess on the wii with plenty of new controls for us. In 2011 Nintendo announced the Wii U, a sequal to the Wii, along with a Zelda game for it. Info on it will be added when it is released.
