Description

The NES (Nintendo Entertainment System or Nintendo) is an 8-bit console released by Nintendo in 1985 in the USA, 1986 in most of Europe, and 1987 in Australia, the rest of Europe. Since that time, there was no Nintendo Spain. It sold more than 62 million consoles and 500 million games worldwide, which made it, for a long time, the most popular console in history.

Nintendo was already experiencing unprecedented success with its Famicom in Japan with its launch in 1983. After two years, it felt it was time to move that success into other territories. After a failed attempt to partner with Atari for distribution in the US, the company decided to do it independently. Of course, the console was given another more "western" format. Thus was born the NES.

One of the most notable elements of Nintendo's business model with the NES is third-party licenses. Nintendo began a strict licensing program to ensure that the crash in '83 - largely due to many games of questionable quality - would not happen to the NES. Games without a license would not be tolerated.

Thus, all games should be approved by Nintendo, and independent developers could only create a quota of games per year for the NES, in addition to maintaining exclusivity for the NES for two years on those games.

Despite its immense popularity, the NES is also known for its tendency to malfunction. The nickel contacts on the console bend easily over time, causing poor contact, and the copper contacts on the games oxidize, creating a non-conductive coating. Foul play can easily contaminate the system, refusing to charge it. This results in the mythical “blow the cartridge,” which all hardcore NES gamers swear works.
