History Of The Nintendo Entertainment System
Nintendo's 8-bit video game console, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), known as the Nintendo Family Computer (任天堂ファミリーコンピュータ, Nintendō Famirī Konpyūta?), or Famicom (ファミコン, Famikon?) in Japan, was introduced after the video game crash of 1983, and was instrumental in revitalizing the industry. It enjoyed a long lifespan and dominated the market during the rest of the decade. Facing obsolescence in 1990 with the advent of 16-bit consoles, it was supplanted by its successor, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but support and production continued up to until 1995. Despite being discontinued, interest in the NES has since been renewed by collectors and emulators.
