NES
The system that brought it all back.
The system that reversed the video game market crash of 83. The NES was so popular in the 80s, playing video games was simply described as "playing Nintendo." Legendary icons in the gaming industry got their start on this system. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, Megaman, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest. The console of the 1980s. Without this system, there would be no Xbox 360s, no PS3s, and of course no Wiis.
Super Mario Bros. is the godfather of modern video games. Originally included as the pack-in cartridge with Nintendo's Entertainment System. This title upped the standard for games of the late 80s, pioneering modern video gaming as we know them. An absolute classic that brings back great memories.
Super Mario Brothers 2 was one of the most unique titles on the NES. Allowing you to select from your favorite Mario characters to play the game; it introduced the different abilities of high jumping Luigi, strong turnip pulling Toad, and the Princess's ability to float through the air. Even though it was a remake of a Japanese game called Doki Doki Panic, many fun aspects from the game have become Mario canon and are revisited in future Mario games.
