The '''Nintendo Entertainment System''' (known as the '''NES''' for short) is a video game console created by [[Nintendo]]. It is the western version of the [[Family Computer]] (aka the Famicom), and has controllers that can be removed (unlike the Famicom). Games are inserted by opening a door and sliding the game in, then pushing a panel down. The NES was made because it was thought that the original system looked too much like a toy and therefore was made with a more complex appearance. {{ref needed}}


The '''{{wp|Nintendo Entertainment System}}''' (abbreviated as '''NES''') is a third-generation home video game console created by [[Nintendo]] as the {{wp|Western world|Western}} counterpart of the [[Family Computer]] (often named Famicom for short). It was released in the United States on October 18, 1985; British Hong Kong in 1986; Singapore in June 1986; Scandinavia on September 1, 1986; India in January 1987; New Zealand, Australia, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom in 1987; France in October 1987; the Netherlands in late 1987; Spain circa 1988; South Korea in October 1989; Israel in 1990; Hungary and Portugal in 1991; South Africa, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia in 1993; Brazil in late 1993; Croatia in 1994; and Poland on November 14, 1994 (the latter simultaneously with the [[Game Boy]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]).<ref name=Rogers_2020/> Because the NES and Famicom were both released in British Hong Kong, the latter was marketed as a revision of the former rather than the other way around.<ref name=Akfamilyhome/> The South Korean and Indian editions were respectively retitled the '''Hyundai Comboy''' and '''Samurai Electronic TV Game System''' to circumvent import restrictions in both countries.
It was the system that revived the video game industry after the [[wikipedia:North American video game crash of 1983|Video Game Crash of 1983]]. It rivaled against the [[wikipedia:Sega Master System|Sega Master System]] and the [[wikipedia:Atari 7800|Atari 7800]] until the release of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] ushered in the next generation of video game consoles. The NES sold over 60.91 million units worldwide during its lifetime and was discontinued in 1995.<ref>http://www.webcitation.org/5nXieXX2B</ref>


The original Nintendo Entertainment System model is a complete redesign of the Famicom, featuring a gray and white color scheme, a covered slot on the front where cartridges are slid into, and detachable controllers. The system and its launch titles contributed to revitalizing the American video game industry following the {{wp|video game crash of 1983}}, due to its software quality control through the [[Official Nintendo Seal|Official Nintendo Seal of Quality]] and toy-like peripherals.<ref>{{cite|author=Gardner, Matt|date=October 18, 2020|url=www.forbes.com/sites/mattgardner1/2020/10/18/its-been-35-years-since-nintendo-changed-american-gaming-forever|title="It’s Been 35 Years Since Nintendo Changed Western Gaming Forever"|accessdate=December 4, 2021}}</ref> The Nintendo Entertainment System and Family Computer sold 61.91 million units combined, and the NES was discontinued in 1995.<ref>http://www.webcitation.org/5nXieXX2B</ref><ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/</ref>
The Nintendo Entertainment System was bundled with ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', resulting in it being the console's most successful game. For decades, ''Super Mario Bros.'' was the highest-selling video game ever, with 40.23 million copies sold, until Nintendo packaged ''Wii Sports'' with the [[Wii]]. Eventually, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' was released in the USA, and it became an instant hit, making five hundred million dollars in less than twenty-four hours. It soon became the second most purchased game in the gaming world with over 18 million copies sold.


''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' is one of the Nintendo Entertainment System launch titles, and it was frequently packaged with the system, including in the Control Deck, Action Set (as a ''2-in-1 Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt'' compilation cartridge), and Power Set (as a ''3-in-1 Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt / World Class Track Meet'' cartridge) bundles. It is credited as being the game that helped the industry recover from the video game crash of 1983. For decades, ''Super Mario Bros.'' was the system's best-selling game, let alone video games in general, having sold 40.23 million copies. Eventually, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' was released in the United States, and it became an instant hit, making 500 million dollars in less than 24 hours.{{ref needed}}
Due to the lack of security, many NES games have become pirated, creating games such as 999-in-1, but due to better security, these games have seemingly slowed down.


The Nintendo Entertainment System's graphical capabilities, extended RAM, and even sound capabilities can be expanded with the use of memory mappers like the MMC2, MMC3, and MMC5. The only two ''Super Mario'' games that use memory mappers are ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' with the MMC3 mapper being used. The only [[Mario]] cameo appearance that uses memory mappers is ''{{wp|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!}}'', using MMC2 in particular and also being the only NES game that uses that particular mapper.
In America, the NES was sold in three packages:
*Control Deck: Contained the console, two controllers, the ''Super Mario Bros.'' cartridge and the needed connections.
*Action Set: This set included the console, two controllers, the ''Super Mario Bros.''/''Duck Hunt'' cartridge, the Zapper, and the connections.
*Power Set: The most complete package, it contained the console, two controllers, a ''Super Mario Bros.''/''Duck Hunt''/''World Class Track Meet'' cartridge, the Zapper, the Power Pad, and the connections.


An expansion port is located underneath the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is assumed that it would have been used for a Western equivalent of the [[Family Computer Disk System]], but it went unused. However, the redesigned NES-101 Top Loader model lacks the expansion port entirely.
== Hardware ==
{{br|left}}
[[File:NES_Processor_6502.png|200px|thumb|left|The NES's Ricoh 2A03 (top) and a regular stock MOS 6502 (bottom). The NES uses a 6502 based processor.]]
[[File:Ricoh_RP2C02_PPU.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The NES's Picture Processing Unit video processor.]]
The NES/Famicom hardware consists of 2 kilobytes of onboard RAM, a custom second source [[wikipedia:MOS Technology 6502|MOS Technology 6502]] based processor (called the Ricoh 2A03 in NTSC regions and the 2A07 in the PAL regions) which has a built in sound generator on chip and is used as the main processor. The Ricoh 2A03/2A07 contains 5 channels of sound: 1 triangle channel, 2 square wave channels, 1 noise channel and 1 DPCM channel for playing samples from memory. The Ricoh 2A03/2A07 is essentially the same as a regular 6502 but with the binary code decimal mode removed.  


==Accessories ==
The video generator hardware is the Picture Processing Unit (PPU) (Ricoh 2C02 "NTSC"/Ricoh 2C07 "PAL") which is responsible for generating the sprites and background images onscreen. Graphical capabilities, extended RAM and even sound capabilities can be expanded with the use of memory mappers like the MMC2, 3, 4, 5 and Konami VRC6 among other mappers. For instance, the MMC5 adds 2 extra pulse wave channels and another Raw PCM channel in addition to the main 2A03/2A07 channels; the Konami VRC6 adds a sawtooth wave channel and 2 extra square waves and the VRC7 adds FM Synthesis capabilities which is based on the [[wikipedia:Yamaha YM2413|Yamaha YM2413 OPLL]] FM Synthesizer and is a derivative of the OPLL chip.
===NES Controller===
[[File:NES-controller.jpg|upright=1.11|thumb|left|The NES Controller.]]
[[File:NES-101-Controller.jpg|upright=1.11|thumb|The later "dogbone" version of the NES controller which is included with the NES-101 Top Loader models.]]
The NES Controller is the basic controller packaged with every Nintendo Entertainment System. It has four buttons and a directional pad on a brick-shaped case. {{button|nes|A}} and {{button|nes|B}} are stationed on the right, the {{button|nes|start}} and {{button|nes|select}} is in the middle, and the D-pad is on the left of the controller. Nintendo later released a different form of the NES, the NES-101 model, which used a "dog-bone" design instead of the brick design, which looked a lot like Super Nintendo Entertainment System controllers. This design combines elements of the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] controller.


Unlike the [[Family Computer|Famicom]], the NES does not have any audio controls (volume slider and microphone) on the second controller. Instead, the {{button|nes|start}} and {{button|nes|select}} buttons are available on both controllers, making those practically identical. Another difference is that the NES' controllers can be extracted, while the Famicom's cannot.
The only 2 ''Mario'' games that use memory mappers are ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' with the MMC3 mapper being used. The only [[Mario]] cameo appearance that uses memory mappers is ''Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!'' with the MMC2 being used, which is also the only NES game that uses that particular mapper.

The d-pad, first used on the [[Game and Watch]] to replace bulky joysticks, are on the left of the controller.


===Cleaning Kit===
There were various versions of the NES controller. Nintendo released the NES Max and the NES Advantage, the latter of which had a "slow" button and both of which featured "turbo" buttons which, when held, would represent a button being pressed repeatedly. Nintendo later released a different form of the NES, which used a "dog-bone" design instead of the brick design. This design is very similar to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] controller.

Over time, pins inside the NES and game cartridges would get dirty. Nintendo released an approved cleaning kit to improve the condition of the contacts so games would play without interruption. [[Mario]] is on the cover of the NES Cleaning Kit.
=== Power Glove ===
[[File:NES-Power-Glove.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The NES Power Glove.]]
The Power Glove was a handheld glove controller that used hand movements as a controller. It also had a keypad that defaulted certain buttons to certain hand movements. Under it featured the normal buttons on the NES controller. It sold poorly and was criticized for being imprecise. It was featured in the movie ''[[The Wizard]]''.

*In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Mario owns an NES in his apartment and is seen playing ''[[Icaruspedia:Kid Icarus (game)|Kid Icarus]]'' on the console. The [[Toad (species)|Toad]] at the antique store asks about an NES cartridge, to which the clerk tells them to blow into it, referencing a popular urban legend claiming that doing to would remove dust within the cartridge and allow it to work properly (in reality, blowing into the cartridge could risk causing further damage due to airborne saliva droplets corroding the copper connectors).

==Trivia==
[[File:MPIT NES.jpg|200px|thumb|The error showing ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' to be an NES game.]]
*An NES controller appears as one of the tokens in the 2006 and 2007 version of [[Nintendo Monopoly]].
*The NES is placed in the 1st spot of IGN's Top 25 Game Consoles.
*A large NES controller appears in ''[[wikipedia:Wreck-It Ralph|Wreck-It Ralph]]'' as a door leading to the coding of the game ''Sugar Rush'', which the character King Candy opens by putting in the [[wikipedia:Konami Code|Konami code]] (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start), a very famous button input that was put in as a cheat in numerous [[wikipedia:Konami|Konami]] games, first appearing in ''[[wikipedia:Gradius (video game)|Gradius]]'' (1986).
*An expansion port is located underneath the console. However, no accessories were used for it. Although the Famicom Disk System was planned for a North American release and if released it would have used the Expansion Port. However, the redesigned NES-101 Top Loader model lacks the expansion port entirely.
*For a time the Nintendo 3DS eShop mistakenly stated ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' to be a title on the NES.
*The NES port of ''[[Wario's Woods]]'' is the only NES game with an ESRB rating, due to it being released so late in the console's run.
