I shall explain pplz.
First of all, Game & Watch had about 20 titles. They were made in about 1980, and they were Nintendo's 1st game.
And the FamiCom is Japans NES. Japan invented it, so they got it 1st. It beat the "Nes" by a while because in the early 1980's America had a downfall in gaming entertainment so Nintendo didn't want to release their 1st console into a country that it could potentially bomb in. Super FamiCom is the same thing with the SNES.
Simply put, Japan gets everything 1st.
FamiCom = Japanese NES
Super Famicom = Japanese SNES

Mario is funny. He can use flowers to shoot fireballs and when he eats special mushrooms he grows giant  |

I just love how people dont pay attention...  Chronos, I've already explained how the '83-'84 gaming industry crash stopped the Famicom from coming to the US. And Will already identified that the Famicoms are the same thing as NES's. And I looked into this Game & Watch thing. Looks like you were right, they did come before the Famicom in 1980, HOWEVER, they're not consoles. You must have misunderstood my little question - "What was Nintendo's first CONSOLE?". |

Thank god there is actually intelligent life in at least one thread.  The NES was the most annoying system to use, imo. SNES was better, but the best system was the PS. Nintendo did have some very nice games though, above all the entire Mario line. |
