Isn't it funny? That the greatest gaming Co. of all time and didn't actually producing video games. It actually started buy creating trading cards that had everything from flowers to Disney characters. Then it proceeded on to create many arcade games such as Donkey Kong. The first real competitor in home gaming consoles made by Nintendo was called the Famicom in Japan or the NES  (Nintendo Entertainment System) in America. This brought back the home gaming entertainment consoles from its almost extinction. There was many great classic video games such as Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, and many more. To follow that up was the early 90's hit Super Famicom of SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System). This 16-bit sustem (as opposed to the now obsolete 8-bit NES) had superior graphics for its time. It had many sequels to NES games and also some new hits such as F-Zero, Donkey Kong Country one, two, and three, Super Mario World, Starfox, Super Metroid, and many others. Then, in September of 1996 came the N64 (Nintendo 64). This 64 bit system featured three-dimensional graphics and some really great games. Some of these games include Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, another Starfox game and many more. Finally, came the Present day GCN. This system had many great games such as Super Smash Bros. Melee, Metroid Prime, Super Mario Sunshine. The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker, Starfox Adventures Dinosaur Planet and many more. Other Systems include Virtual Boy, Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and Game Boy Advance SP.
