Die Geschichte der Konsole

The Famicom launched in Japan in 1983. Nintendo redesigned its appearance and packaging for the NES launch in North America, beginning with a limited test market in 1985.[1]

International releases were staggered rather than one worldwide event. The Japanese Disk System offered rewritable disk software, while overseas NES accessories included the Zapper and R.O.B.[1]
