Before the days of [[ESRB]] video game ratings, Nintendo maintained a strict policy banning the inclusion of pornography in games made for it's consoles as they feared "their name would be forever tarnished." Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe also banned games containing blood, graphic or domestic violence, drug use, and political messages. However, NOA and NOE also were alleged to ban religious symbols in games, although in Legend of Zelda, religious symbols were still shown. These policies vanished when ESRB started rating video games.

===Nintendo Entertainment System===
The '''Nintendo Entertainment System''', commonly known as the NES for short and as the '''Famicom''' (short for '''Family Computer''') in [[Japan]], is an 8-bit [[video game]] console manufactured by the Japanese company Nintendo, first released in 1985. In Japan later on, an upgrade called the '''Famicom Disk System''' was released. The NES was released by [[Hyundai]] in [[South Korea]] as the '''Comboy'''. The NES was the first console released by Nintendo and was the best selling console of its time. Nintendo released the NES after successes in the arcade with games such as ''Donkey Kong'' and ''Popeye''. The NES is known for revitalizing the video game industry after its 1983 crash. The NES came with a copy of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''Duck Hunt''.

Unlicensed clones, dubbed Famiclones, are sold due to the lack of original hardware remaining. The first Famiclones were illegal and sold while the NES was produced in markets where the NES was not introduced. They were introduced in North America by companies such as Yobo and Retro Duo and are considered legitimate, due to NES hardware patents expiring. They have mixed compatibility rates, but Yobo and Retro Duo units function well.

===Game Boy===
===Game Boy===
'''Game Boy''' is a line of portable [[video game]] systems developed by Nintendo. However, the term "Game Boy" usually refers to the original Nintendo Game Boy.
The '''Game Boy''' is a portable [[video game]] system developed by [[Nintendo]]. It was released in 1989, and is the first model within the titular [[Game Boy line]]. The original Game Boy is about [[inch|4″ x 7″]] in size. In 1997, a newer model was released, the Game Boy Pocket, measuring at a reduced 3″ x 5″. In 1998, a model with a light blue backlit screen was released, the Game Boy Light, although it only released in Japan. The same year, the Game Boy would receive a successor, the [[Game Boy Color]], which is very similar but features color graphics.
The original Game Boy made its debut in 1989, and was about [[inch|4″ x 7″]] in size. In 1996, the Game Boy Pocket was released, measuring at a reduced 3″ x 5″. In 1998, the Game Boy Color was released, succeeding the monochrome original. In 2001 a complete update was made to the line with the Game Boy Advance. The Advance included a new shape, improved sound, and more complex graphics (from 8 bit to 32 bit). Due to complaints over the Advance's lack of a back light, the upgraded Game Boy Advance SP was released in 2003; the SP had a folding case, an LCD screen with back light, and a rechargeable lithium battery. Currently, Nintendo's stake in the portable gaming market is based on the [[Nintendo DS]] (2005).

===Game Boy Color===
The '''Game Boy Color''' is the successor of the Game Boy, and was released in 1998. The Game Boy Color is similar to its predecessor, although the main difference is that its games are in full color rather than monochrome. Although it is a successor, some Game Boy Color games have been released in black cartridges, allowing them to be played on original Game Boy units, but clear cartridges indicate exclusivity to the Game Boy Color itself.

[[File:Wii.png|thumb|200px|Click for a high resolution view.]]
===Nintendo Wii===
The '''Wii''' is a video game console launched on November 2006 and has sold 50 million units worldwide. Its major selling point is the inclusion of motion sensitive controllers the "Wiimote" and "Nunchuk". That ability is to ''swing'' at golf, ''throw'' a bowling ball, and ''punch'' with boxing provides the virtual game challenge experience. Since your fingers do not operate a game controller like all previous platforms to date, this truly becomes a next generation console. It is a physical experience and provides good cardiovascular movements. Recently, Nintendo has introduced the Wii ''"Fit"'' title along with it a balance board. This extended functionality allows the user to do [[yoga]], ski, hoola-hoop, hit soccer balls with your head, and strength training. In July 2009, the ''"Wiimote"'' received a boost of improved sensitivity with the addition of a remote device extension. Increased range of motion games are offered with the Wii Resort package which include canoe races and ping-pong. The console is truly backwards compatible, allowing games of previous Nintendo consoles to play on the Wii such as GameCube games.

===Wii U===
Nintendo release their latest console, the Wii U on November 18, 2012. Although a more powerful system than it's predecessor, it has not sold well. This is mainly due to lack of third-party support as well as lack of first party games (i.e. Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid). On January 31, 2017, Nintendo discontinued production of the Wii U. ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'' was announced as the Wii U's last game.

Nintendo's successor to the Wii U, called the Nintendo Switch, was released on March 3, 2017. It is both a home console and handheld system. On September 20, 2019, Nintendo came out with the Switch Lite, which was a smaller version of the system. The Switch Lite was handheld only, and had no output to a television. It launched with ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.''
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, video game systems became sparse at retail stores, particularly the Nintendo Switch. Although the Switch Lite had been somewhat easier to find, the regular version had been known to sell out within minutes of a store having some in stock.
