    Nintendo Entertainment System

    Platform »

    The NES, also known as Famicom, launched in 1983 in Japan and 1985 in North America, where the video game industry was headed downhill due to a deluge of poor games and over-saturation. Nintendo's second home console became an enormous success, establishing consoles as a mainstream market in Japan and pulling the North American industry back to its feet.

    This week, it's time to get started with Nintendo Power #1, with reviews of 7 games!

    Main Title: 'Jazz Plumber Trio' - Remixed by DJPretzel - http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00055/

    Closing Credits: 'Feeding Frenzy' - Remixed by goat - http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01595/

    Notes: I mentioned this in the video, but I think it bears repeating - what would have really been great for Virtual Console would have been some way of implementing leaderboards for games that had high scores (like Contra), and possibly some sort of small achievement system. I know that Nintendo has said that's not part of their idiom. Still, I think that might have breathed some additional life into the service.
