"Hi. I'm Nintendo, and I kick ass."

—The Angry Video Game Nerd acting as the voice of the NES

The console, was known as Family Computer (or Famicom) was released on July 15, 1983 in Japan and in North America (as NES) on October 18, 1985. It was known for it's large library of both officially-licensed and unlicensed games, and starting off many popular video game franchises.
