NES Game Systems - Back To Old Games

NES Game Systems: A Great Way to Relive Old Games

With the variety of various and different gaming consoles appearing in the market today, integrated with the very latest graphics and audio technology, you will might be hard pressed to imagine that gaming consoles originated from simple, humble beginnings.

If you are familiar with the Nintendo GameCube, you have to know that it all originated in a gaming console called Nintendo Entertainment System or NES.

Mention 'Nintendo,' and usually, the first thing that comes to mind is "video games." Nintendo has been producing and manufacturing different kinds of gaming consoles since the video game market was still in its very infancy.

Unlike the gaming consoles of today that you'll commonly see, perhaps, ones developed by Sony and Microsoft, by contrast, Nintendo is purely involved in the gaming industry. Nintendo concentrates almost solely on gaming.

Sony is known for hardware and many other gadgets (tape recorders, radios, televisions, VCRs, etc). Microsoft, of course, is known for developing software and computers.

Nintendo has been in the business of video games for a very long time and still remains as one of the best manufacturers of gaming consoles today.

With Nintendo's Game Cube, you would almost never expect that Nintendo also developed a primitive gaming console that was one of the most popular in the world. Nintendo started out with NES or the Nintendo Entertainment System.

NES is has been one of the most popular, well established, widely distributed video gaming consoles in its time and is also a "best selling" video gaming console. Games for the NES system were simple but highly entertaining, and kept users engaged for hours. Two of the most successfully distributed and favorite games from NES are "Mario Bros." and "Tetris."

In fact, NES games are so entertaining that many people today who owned NES gaming console from years back are still hooking up their old NES gaming console to their TV and play their old NES games today. It is also a fact that NES games still attract people who will buy a console online or who will download specific NES games that they can play on their own computer.

NES gaming consoles were in fact the best selling consoles within the Nintendo company. Even their latest gaming console called the GameCube can’t compete in terms of sales against the NES. Nintendo had an estimated 61.9 million dollars in sales for NES worldwide while that particular console was in its prime. GameCube only sold units to the tune of 20.9 million dollars. This may be because other competition in the gaming console industry has interfered with GameCube sales, while NES systems dominated the market and had less competition years ago, however, this still only shows NES to be one of the best gaming consoles ever developed in the world. In NES's prime, certain other gaming and console companies would have been crazy to try to compete.

NES also has a wide variety of games. Because there are so many games available, this gives gamers a very wide range of choices about how to spend their time gaming. Prior to the NES system, there were a few other relatively nice consoles, but these only had very few game choices to accompany the console. NES dominated the gaming markets for a long time before some more advanced gaming systems arrived on the scene from Sony and Microsoft.

Although it is true that certain companies finally came out with more advanced systems, NES didn't completely die away. Nor should one consider NES 'GONE' to this very day, because there are still TONS of people who enjoy NES games on NES consoles. To boot, NES games are also very readily available online. You can download NES on the internet for extremely reasonable prices!

NES has some rather primitive games, however, the company develops engaging, entertaining games as well. If you have played with a NES before, you know how fun and attention-getting their games can be. With a lot of popular game titles, you will surely never run out of games to play with the NES.

So, if you feel like playing NES games again, all you have to do is hook your NES gaming console to your TV, choose the game you want to play and relive the time when you where still young and loved to play different NES games.

With NES, even your kids will enjoy playing with the old games. Even if you have the latest gaming console with different game titles, you will surely want to play with the NES over and over again.

However, if you don’t have a NES gaming console, you can still buy it through the internet. The main NES consoles were built with surprising sturdiness and decade-old systems are often playable today in 'good as new' shape, offering the same performance as they put out well over a decade ago.

Or, you can download NES games and play then on your home PC. Different emulators are available today - all over the place - which will enable you to play NES games to your heart's content.

:)

So - don't worry about getting tired of the same old games you're using with your current gaming system. You still have a lot of choices. NES is still readily available all over the place.

Dig your old NES back out of the closet, hook it up to the TV and start playing. Or - acquire an old console or an NES downloadable game online for your PC and start playing with the most popular gaming console ever sold in the market.
