Baseball [ a ] is a 1983 video game from Nintendo . Being a launch game for the Nintendo Entertainment System , and the universal appeal of its namesake sport , are said to have made Baseball a key to the system 's overall success , and an important piece of Nintendo history .
Nintendo Co. , Ltd. [ a ] is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company headquartered in Kyoto . Nintendo is one of the world 's largest video game companies by market capitalization , creating some of the best-known and top-selling video game franchises of all-time , such as Mario , The Legend of Zelda , Animal Crossing , and Pokémon . Nintendo was founded in 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi and originally produced handmade hanafuda playing cards . By 1963 , the company had tried several small niche businesses , such as cab services and love hotels , without major success . Abandoning previous ventures in favor of toys in the 1960s , Nintendo developed into a video game company in the 1970s . Supplemented since the 1980s by its major divisions Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe , it ultimately became one of the most influential in the video game industry and one of Japan 's most-valuable companies with a market value of over $ 37 billion in 2018 .
The Kunio-kun ( くにおくん ) series is a video game series started by Technōs Japan . The series is now handled by Arc System Works who purchased all of the intellectual property rights from Technōs ' spiritual successor , Million Corp . The first game in the series is fully titled Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun ( 熱血硬派くにおくん ) , which roughly translates to Hot Blood Tough Guy Kunio , with Nekketsu being the name of Kunio 's high school . The kun suffix after his name is an informal Japanese honorific usually applied to young males . The series originated in the arcades and the Famicom console ; its title and its protagonist , Kunio ( variously renamed Alex and Crash Cooney in the United States ) , were named after Technōs Japan 's former president , Kunio Taki . Along with that , Kunio also later became Technōs Japan 's main mascot , appearing on the company 's logo in several games and television commercials . Although the original game was created by Yoshihisa Kishimoto - who later designed Double Dragon - many of the later games ( particularly those under the Downtown Nekketsu moniker ) were the handiwork of two men : Mitsuhiro Yoshimitsu Yoshida and Hiroyuki Mokeke Sekimoto . A few of the early Kunio games for the NES were localized for the North American market . These include Renegade , River City Ransom , Super Dodge Ball , Crash ' n ' the Boys : Street Challenge and Nintendo World Cup , which were heavily Americanized versions of the Kunio-kun games . Technōs Japan has released over twenty Kunio-kun titles for the Famicom , Game Boy , and Super Famicom in Japan . In addition , licensed ports of the games were made for other platforms such as the PC-Engine ( through Naxat Soft ) , Mega Drive ( through Pal Soft ) and the Sharp X68000 ( through Sharp ) .

Kirby 's Dream Land [ a ] is an action platform video game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy .

However , Kirby 's iconic copy ability would not appear until Kirby 's Adventure , released less than one year later . Kirby 's Dream Land was designed by Masahiro Sakurai , who intended it to be a simple game that could be easy to pick up and play by those unfamiliar with action games . For more advanced players , he offered additional optional challenges such as an unlockable hard mode and the ability to edit Kirby 's maximum HP and starting number of lives . Kirby 's Dream Land was re-released on the Nintendo 3DS via the Virtual Console in 2011 and is also one of the games included in the compilation game Kirby 's Dream Collection for the Wii , released to celebrate Kirby 's 20th anniversary .

Jaleco Ltd. ( 株式会社ジャレコ , Kabushiki Kaisha Jareko ) was a corporate brand name that was used by two previously connected video game developers and publishers , based out of Japan . The original Jaleco company was founded in 1974 as Japan Leisure Company , founded by Yoshiaki Kanazawa , before being renamed to simply Jaleco in the early 1980s . This company was later acquired in 2000 by PCCW , who rebranded it as their Japanese game division , PCCW Japan , before being reverted to Jaleco in 2002 . In 2006 , Jaleco became independent from PCCW and renamed to Jaleco Holding , having their video game operations spun-off into a new company also called Jaleco . This new spin-off company was sold to mobile developer Game Yarou in 2009 , with Jaleco Holding renaming itself to Encom Holdings shortly after . Jaleco is known for its arcade and home console video games produced in the 1980s and early 1990s , including City Connection , Bases Loaded , Ninja JaJaMaru-kun , Exerion , Idol Janshi Suchie-Pai and Rushing Beat . Jaleco would also produce arcade cabinets for other game developers , alongside redemption arcade games and UFO catcher claw machines . In the past , the company produced amusement park equipment and aquarium parts , under their JAQNO brand name . Their North American division , Jaleco USA , would publish a number of titles for the NES and SNES , including Maniac Mansion , Pinball Quest and R-Type III . In 2014 , Jaleco 's parent company Game Yarou filed for bankruptcy , causing Jaleco to vanish from the video game industry . The company 's video game assets would be purchased by City Connection , an indie Japanese studio that continues to use their games for other side projects and licencing deals ( the company itself being named after one of Jaleco 's games ) . The original Jaleco company , Encom Holdings , would quit the video game business in 2009 , citing stiff competition in the industry , instead dealing in real estate .
Mega Man : Dr. Wily 's Revenge [ a ] is an action-platform video game by Capcom for the Nintendo Game Boy . It is the first game in the handheld series of the Mega Man franchise . It was released in Japan on July 26 , 1991 , and was localized in North America that December and in Europe the following year . The game continues the adventures of the android hero Mega Man as he once again confronts the evil Dr. Wily , who has dispatched his revived Robot Masters and a new Mega Man Killer named Enker . Dr. Wily 's Revenge is an action and platform game in same vein as the Nintendo Entertainment System ( NES ) Mega Man games . The player is tasked with completing a series of four stages in any order desired . Beating a stage 's boss will earn the player a special weapon that can be selected at will and used throughout the rest of the game . Dr. Wily 's Revenge specifically takes components of the original Mega Man and Mega Man 2 , including their enemies , stage aesthetics , and Robot Masters . According to series artist Keiji Inafune , Dr. Wily 's Revenge was the first Mega Man game to be outsourced to a developer separate from Capcom . Critical reception for the game has been favorable , and most sources have denoted it as a competent , if excessively difficult , portable version of the popular NES series . Dr. Wily 's Revenge was a best-seller and spawned four sequels of its own on the Game Boy , many of which follow its trend of reusing elements from their home console counterparts . In 2011 , Dr. Wily 's Revenge was made available as a Virtual Console launch title on Japan 's Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo 3DS .

Super Mario Land [ a ] is a 1989 side-scrolling platform video game developed and published by Nintendo as a launch title for their Game Boy handheld game console . It is the first Mario platform game ever to be released for a handheld console . In gameplay similar to that of the 1985 Super Mario Bros. , but resized for the smaller device 's screen , the player advances Mario to the end of 12 levels by moving to the right and jumping across platforms to avoid enemies and pitfalls . Unlike other Mario games , Super Mario Land is set in Sarasaland , a new environment depicted in line art , and Mario pursues Princess Daisy ( who makes her debut in this game ) . The game also includes two Gradius-style shooter levels . At Nintendo CEO Hiroshi Yamauchi 's request , Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi 's Nintendo R & D1 developed a Mario game to sell the new console . It was the first portable version of Mario and the first to be made without Mario creator and Yokoi protégé Shigeru Miyamoto . Accordingly , the development team shrunk Mario gameplay elements for the device and used some elements inconsistently from the series . Super Mario Land was expected to showcase the console until Nintendo of America bundled Tetris with new Game Boys . The game launched alongside the Game Boy first in Japan ( April 1989 ) and later worldwide . Super Mario Land was later rereleased for the Nintendo 3DS via Virtual Console in 2011 again as a launch title , which featured some tweaks to the game 's presentation . The game was lauded by critics , who were satisfied with the franchise 's transition to the Game Boy , but noted its short length .

Like in the original arcade and NES version , the player takes control of Mario and must rescue Pauline from Donkey Kong ( who are both given updated character designs for this game ) . Donkey Kong Jr. makes a guest appearance in the game on some levels , helping his father hinder Mario 's progress . This was the first Game Boy title designed with enhanced features when played on the Super Game Boy . It features gameplay elements from Donkey Kong , Donkey Kong Jr. , and Super Mario Bros. 2 .

Qix ( クイックス , Kuikkusu ) ( pronounced kicks ) is an arcade game developed by Taito America Corporation and released in October 1981 .

Qix was ported to the contemporary Atari 5200 ( 1982 ) , Atari 8-bit family ( 1983 ) , and Commodore 64 ( 1983 ) , then was brought to a wide variety of systems in the late 1980s and early 1990s : MS-DOS ( 1989 ) , Amiga ( 1989 ) , another version for the C64 ( 1989 ) , Apple IIgs ( 1990 ) , Game Boy ( 1990 ) , Nintendo Entertainment System ( 1991 ) , and Atari Lynx ( 1991 ) .
Double Dragon , Hepburn : Daburu Doragon ) is a 1987 beat 'em up video game developed by Technōs Japan and distributed in North America and Europe by Taito . The game is a spiritual and technological successor to Technos ' earlier beat 'em up , Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun ( released outside of Japan by Taito as Renegade ) , but introduced several additions such as two-player cooperative gameplay and the ability to arm oneself with an enemy 's weapon after disarming them . Double Dragon is considered to be one of the first successful examples of the genre , resulting in the creation of two arcade sequels and several spinoffs , as well as inspiring other companies in creating their own beat 'em ups . Originally an arcade game , home versions were released for the NES , Master System , Atari 2600 , Atari 7800 , Atari ST , Amiga , Amstrad CPC , Commodore 64 , Game Boy , Genesis/Mega Drive and Atari Lynx , among other platforms during the series 's height of popularity .

From Game & Watch Gallery onward , the games feature Game & Watch games in two styles : Classic , which features faithful reproductions of the original games , and Modern , which gives the games a different visual style using characters from the Super Mario Bros. series ; however , not all Game & Watch games included in a particular game include a Modern style . Also , the titles often feature actual galleries explaining the history of the Game & Watch system and the various games released for it . The first four titles in the series also feature Super Game Boy borders which mimic the original Game & Watch casing designs . While originally released under the title Game Boy Gallery in Australia , the Virtual Console releases use the title Game & Watch Gallery . Beginning in 1998 , Nintendo licensed a series of small standalone LCD remakes of the original Game & Watch games called Nintendo Mini Classics . In the early 2000s , several Game & Watch titles were planned for re-release as Game & Watch-e ( a series of Nintendo e-Reader cards ) ; however , only one ever was . The Game & Watch Collection series for Nintendo DS is a set of two games that were available exclusively from Club Nintendo . Digital versions of the games were created as DSiWare which was released for Nintendo DSi in 2009 ( 2010 internationally ) and for Nintendo 3DS in 2011 .

The golfer has been identified as Mario in supplemental materials , though not wearing his traditional shirt and overalls . [ citation needed ] However , the game Captain Rainbow would instead identify the golfer as Ossan , which happens to be one of the generic internal names Mario had during the development of Donkey Kong . [ citation needed ] Additionally , the Game Boy conversion of this game would feature Mario on the Western cover art , but not the Japanese version .
