The
Nintendo Entertainment System was released in America in 1985, after
some limited success in Japan as the Famicom. Over the next few years,
its user base would grow exponentially until the NES surpassed the
Atari VCS/2600 peak set in 1982. As of 1990, there were over 19 million
NES systems in the United States alone.In addition to the tremendous
success of the system, its games had a great deal prosperity. For
example, Super Mario Bros. 3 released in 1989 grossed over $500 million
just in America. In the field of entertainment, only the movie E.T. has
made more revenue. Super Mario Bros. 3 would sell more than 7 million
copies in America and 4 million in Japan, which is more copies than any
other game in history. Sheff wrote, "By record-industry standards,
'SMB3' went platinum eleven times. Michael Jackson is one of the few
artists to have accomplished this feat."By 1990, the money earned from
Nintendo's NES and its games allowed Nintendo to usurp Toyota as
Japan's most successful company. In the entertainment business,
Nintendo netted as much as all of the American movie studios combined,
and more than the three television networks had in the previous two
years. In the five short years since the system was released, the NES
could be found in more than a third of the household in America and
Japan.This monopoly gave Nintendo significant control over the market
during the Fourth Generation, which they utilized in various malicious
schemes. Despite all of this, they are still one of the most popular
and well-known companies in the world. Nintendo's only competitor in
the 8-bit market was Sega with their Sega Master System. While the
Master System did have many more features than the NES (which is
evident in a side-by-side comparison) it lacked the third party support
that Nintendo had and was not much competition. The Master System sold
a total of 2 million units and at times had a market share of 11%,
these were the only reason the system survived as long as it did.

You can replace the
batteries in games that have batteries if they stop remembering the
games. I replaced the battery in my Zelda game a few years back and it
works great now. Take the cart apart, carefully remove the battery, and
take it to Fred Meyers or somewhere to get a replacement. Just make
sure it's the same volt. When you put it back in you may need to solder
it just lightly or tape it to keep it in place. | Patrick 1/13/02 huzzab@excite.com
After reading a few of
these postings I had to reply...the older nintendo (original) and
cartridges were not meant to be "blown" in when they didn't work. They
needed to be cleaned. Like when your car battery gets corroded and
needed to be cleaned to have a good connection. That's why all those
CLEANERS were out there for the nintendo and cartridges. Moisture is a
good conductor, but probably shortened the life of many a nintendo or
sega system. Another reason for the games not working is the 72 pin
connector in the nintendo. They wear out and need to be replaced. | Dimitri 11/03/01 dkhcod11@aol.com
I remember the NES
Robot. It worked with the Pipe Dream game. It actually opened the
pipes for you. I bought one at a garage sale a few years ago, but when
I brought it home and hooked it up, it didn't work. So I just brought
it back and got something else. Man, I should have kept it anyways.
I
actually have a full arsenal of NES additions. Remember the carpet? I
still have fun with that thing. And a few years back I bought the 4
way cordless joystick divider for 39 cents at Tops. I have about 40
games for the system. And I'm sure all of you have the gun. Duck hunt
is still the best shooting game out there. | Nicholas Foss 11/02/01 Gfoss666@home.com
Well i must say that i
love the NES and the 2600, but i only have the old nintendo. Way
better than that new stuff. The new stuff just wants to be more then
what it is. They will have no, if very few classic games when all is
said and done. Anyway, does anyone know where i can find more NES
games for sale online? I'm looking Moon Patrol and i be dawned if i
can find it. | Edward Phillips ejpn64kid@aol.com on Thursday, September 6, 2001 at 20:56:20

Yeah I have played Castlevania II: Simon's Quest because I own it and
have beaten it. I liked the style Nintendo used in this game because
it was a lot better than your simple side-scroller. Its one of my favs,
along with the Metroid, Double Dragon, and Mega Man series. I'm a pro
at those series and more.

If you use an abrasive on your system, like 300 grit sand paper on the part where the game is inserted, it
tends to make the system work better.I think it helps the game make contact or sumfin.LIke cleaning
battery cable's on a car.

The other type of nintendo you speak of was released in some european and south american countries
as the family entertainment systems it workwd with normal nes games and with a adapter you could
play other famicom games as well. The reason it did not come out in the u.s is because it would be
much cheaper to buy that small console than that big gray one that brings ore parts to break. I love
all nintendo's but we have to remember this is a buissness and nintendo wants tomake the most
money possible. This is the reason we never got that small white with red console. I had the chance
to play on it and it never failed it was great.

Did you know you that Galoob sold a converter for their
Game Genie for the Top Loading NES? If you've tried, you'll
notice the Game Genie won't fit!! But with the converter,
(Which is more rare than the Top Loader itself!!) you
can use a Game Genie on the top loading system.

Like many people, i recently took my good old NES to college. I got it as soon as it came out. So
it has had it's better days. Yet it works flawlessly. The secret is taking q-tips with rubbing alcohol
on them and running them on the connectors, pressing down decently hard. Then take a dry q-tip
and do it again until no more dirt stuff is on the q-tip.. It works!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and does anyone know of a way to replace the battery in Super Tecmo Bowl when it runs out?
Just wondered, haven't had the problem yet, but should have it run out soon.. Yeah

I remember how the old, very first Nintendo crapped out on you after a year to a year-and-a-half. I
remember how we'd all have to blow on our games as well as our system just to get the games
working. All different ways of doing this came out in fact because it was so common. That really
sucked because it was the only way you could get the game working. The new systems as well as
the later ones right after the original Nintendo (I'm talking about Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis)
are much more durable and last much longer. You only have to blow in them maybe once, maybe
twice AT THE MOST if they're a few years old, whereas we would have to blow on the Nintendo and/
or Nintendo games several times often. Man, that was a b****! I don't know how Nintendo could have
made a machine with such a short life span. What they ought to do is remanufacture the original
Nintendo and all its games. Remember all the fun we used to have with Rampage, Contra, Mega
Man I and II, Mario 1-3, Kid Icarus, Castlevania 1-3, Metroid, Punch Out, the Turtles games, Skate
or Die 1 and 2, The Legend of Zelda, and all those real classics. Ah, man, those were the days...
Nintendo, I urge you to reproduce this timeless machine and all of its timeless games. I would
buy them.

Did any of you ever play Castlevania2? You could go different directions and choose weather or not you
were ready to move on to a different area. It was a lot different layout than 1 or 3. Why did they change
the format back after C2 and are there other old NES games out there with a similar theme and set up?
You also could continue indefinately after dying- you never had to go all the way back to the start. How
come C3 and SNES C4 went back to C1's format?

know
NES is a back in the day system, but you guys need to stock up on the
game "Maniac Mansion" that one is a classic. Oh and you guys need to
stock up on Nightmare on elm street also. That's what i gots to say..

I
remember seeing photos of the 2nd nes in a videogame magazine several
years ago. it looked sort of like the sega master system but grey with
red and dark grey buttons. that is the only time i've ever heard or
seen of it. i sort of assumed it never came to market because of a lack
of enthusiasum.

Hey.
I'm a baseball player in college and I find that more of my friends use
the NES than any other system. We love playing RBI baseball more than
anything but can't stand hauling around the equipment to hotel rooms.
Can someone please tell me the name of the smaller system and how I can
get my hands on it. It's time for a new one anyway, I'm tired of
blowing, hitting, spitting, and cursing my old one!!!

Yeah, me too. I had the old one but I used it soooo much, that...:)Now I have the new one, which is smaller.

Hey did you know that Super Mario Brothers 2 was never released here in the USA? The Famicom
accepted
computer-like disks and Mario 2 was on one. Instead, because everyone
was dying for a new Mario, they found a game called "Dream Adventure"
(I think that's the name) They replaced the characters with the Mario
characters and that is our version of Mario 2. You can get these in
Mario All-stars.
The game title is "Super Mario Brothers : the Legend of the Lost Levels"

Yeah,
I have the new style. I used to have an old-style but I beat it to
death. The newer ones are wedge-shaped, small, and the cartridges
stand vertically to the deck. My theory about why they last longer is
because they're harder to hit!

Did you know that there are two different styles of the NES. The first style is the one everyone knows.
The second style-the cartriges are put in the console like the SNES and the N64.
