It was conceived in Japan as the , commonly known by the portmanteau abbreviation or FC, launched there on July 15, 1983, and rebranded as the NES for release outside of Japan. The NES was launched in the New York City and Los Angeles test markets in 1985, and fully throughout the US in 1986. The NES was launched in Europe during 1986 and 1987, and Australia in 1987.

console, which released in North America in 1985, and in Europe throughout 1986 and 1987. The console was initially released in Japan as the Family Computer (abbreviated as Famicom) in 1983. The best-selling gaming console of its time, the NES helped revitalise the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983. With the NES, Nintendo introduced a now-standard business model of licensing third-party developers, authorising them to produce and distribute games for Nintendo's platform. The NES was bundled with "Super Mario Bros.", one of the best-selling video games of all time, and received ports of Nintendo's most

The NES was released on 18 October 1985 in the US, reviving the video game market in the country and proving successful to the American audience, peaking in popularity between 1987 and the early 1990s. The console was later released in other Western countries, but because of heavy competition from home computers such as the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64, and a lack of marketing, the NES

The company planned to release the entire game throughout 2004 in a series of four installments—similar to what Upstart Games did when they ported the NES version of "Castlevania" to mobile phones. The port featured the same visuals and soundtrack as the NES version. Each installment was to consist of several levels of gameplay at a time. The first installment, titled "Ninja Gaiden Episode I: Destiny", was released on July 15, 2004; it included only the first Act from the NES version but added two new levels.

The compatibility, with regard to games that Messiah's compatibility chart lists as working, is disputed; while there are claims from some that the NEX is faithful to the original Nintendo Entertainment System, others claim that the color and sound reproductions are inaccurate and some games have additional glitches when played on the NEX. Speculation has arisen as to whether this effect is due to the machine being based on NES-on-a-chip hardware design. The manufacturer claims

With "Dragon Quest" becoming widely popular in Japan, such that local municipalities were forced to place restrictions on where and when the game could be sold, the "Dragon Quest" series is still considered a bellwether for the Japanese video game market. "Dragon Quest" did not reach North America until 1989, when it was released as "Dragon Warrior", the first NES RPG to be released in North America. The release of "Dragon Quest" was followed by NES remakes of the

The finalized version did not resemble the NES Zapper. In the Wii U game "Splatoon" as well as its Nintendo Switch sequel "Splatoon 2", a weapon known as the N-ZAP was released. It is heavily based on the NES Zapper's design; two variants of it, the N-ZAP '85 and N-ZAP '89, use the gray and orange colors of the NES Zapper respectively.

Ports of the increasingly detailed arcade and home computer games came up with various solutions. For example, when Capcom released Strider in the arcade they created an entirely separate Strider game for the NES that only incorporated themes and characters from the arcade.

Nintendo wanted to distinguish its product from those of competitors and to avoid the generally poor reputation that game consoles had acquired following the video game crash of 1983. One result of this philosophy was to disguise the cartridge slot design as a front-loading zero insertion force (ZIF) cartridge socket, designed to resemble the front-loading mechanism of a VCR.
