Nintendo Entertainment System
Template:System-Infobox The Nintendo Entertainment System (known as the NES for short) is a video game console created by Nintendo.
It was the western version of the Famicom, and had controllers that could be removed (unlike the Famicom). The games were inserted by opening a door, and sliding the game in, then pushing a panel down. Many people think using this way to insert the game is one of Nintendo's mistakes, because people often say that the games do not work as often, possibly because the constant use of the way to insert the game pushes the circuitry back into the cartridge, so it is harder to read.
The Nintendo Entertainment System was sold with Super Mario Bros. in a special package, and resulted in Super Mario Bros. being its most successful game. Also, it is still the record holder for the record 40.23 million copies sold. It rivaled against the Sega Master System until the release of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
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.
Also 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. They were discontinued in 1994.
