context_page_description: The Nintendo Entertainment System is an 8-bit third-generation home video game console produced by Nintendo. Nintendo first released it in Japan as as the Family Computer, commonly known as the Famicom, in 1983. The NES, a remodelled version, was released internationally in the following years.
  The NES featured a number of groundbreaking games, such as the platform game Super Mario Bros, the action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda and the action game Metroid. As one of the best-selling gaming consoles of its time, the NES helped revitalize 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, authorizing them to produce and distribute games for Nintendo's platform. It had been preceded by Nintendo's first home video game console, the Color TV-Game, and was succeeded by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
caption: In addition to featuring a revised color scheme that matched the more subdued tones of the console itself, NES controllers are detachable from the console and lack the microphone featured in Famicom controllers.
