The Original Nintendo Entertainment System is an 8-bit console system that was released in Japan on July 15th, 1983. Then it was released in North America October 18th, 1985. The Original Nintendo was based off of the idea to make Arcade games available in homes on a console system. The Donkey Kong Arcade games inspired this console idea.

The console itself came with a power output cord, a cable adapter cord, two controllers, and a game depending on the bundle pack purchased. The systems showed fault after a few years due to dust build up. A simple solution was blowing in the cartridge or using a dust removing spray(used on computers/laptop vent fans also). The Original systems still work to this day if maintained properly.

This dust problem was adjusted to the Super Nintendo so that the only area dust could enter is the cartridge slot. That is instead of dust covering the whole insides of the console. But the same solution was adapted to the 64 as well. Then Nintendo switched from cartridges to discs when the Gamecube was released. At that point Nintendo decided on making their consoles wireless and more compact.

Nintendo through the years has stuck to the nostalgic themes to establish a dedicated fan base. That is through game titles such as Super Mario Brothers, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, and Donkey Kong series. The development of Nintendo will get more impressive based on the 25 year evolution of this revolutionary system and the new creative innovative game ideas.

The most popular video game in the history of video games was Super Mario Brothers 3. In gross sales Super Mario 3 was the second most games sold to the Original Mario Bros. Technically that makes Super Mario Brothers the most sold ever video game because the Original Mario Brothers came with the Nintendo Entertainment System. Another later release of the Nintendo System would come with a Super Mario 3 bundle pack instead of the Mario Bros/Duck Hunt bundle pack.

You are probably asking yourself why I would want to play Super Mario 3 for the Original Nintendo or online? Just for the sole fact that it’s a revolutionary game for the world of console games. It featured Mario with new awesome abilities like the raccoon tail and ears, fire flower, frog suit, hammer brothers suit or the full raccoon suit (turns you into a statue).

It also featured returning characters like the Luigi, Princess Toadstool, King Bowser, and the goomba. Don’t worry King Wart won’t be in it this time for those familiar with Super Mario 2. Also introducing Bowser’s children Larry Koopa, Morton Koopa Jr., Wendy O. Koopa, Iggy Koopa, Roy Koopa, Lemmy Koopa, and Ludwig von Koopa. They are the bosses of each world.

It also featured mini games like matching cards, matching pictures and a 2-player battle game. You can also play Super Mario 3 online with an NES emulator and ROM. You can do that if you own the original cartridge for Nintendo or Super Mario Allstars.

With a action packed solid story line, if you have not picked up a controller by now you are missing out on a revolutionary game. Enjoy!
