Top 100 Nintendo Games of All Time

Melissa Jones

Though they are not really as dominant as they once used to be in the gaming industry, but still Nintendo games are immensely popular among the masses. Nintendo would surely be considered as the creator of the best selling games and consoles of all time. It would be not incorrect to say that it’s Nintendo which has brought the video games to the mainstream.

Founded in the year 1889, Nintendo used to initially produce handmade playing cards. After trying their hands in different business ventures, which also includes a franchise of ‘love hotels’, the company finally decided to change its gears completely to video games in 1970. After the successful display of their arcade games such as Donkey Kong, Nintendo introduced their first handheld gaming devices in the form of the Game & Watch series in 1980.

But it was in the year 1983 when the company achieved real taste of success by crossing into home consoles, by means of incredibly successful and famous Japanese release of the Famicon. It was released in the west under the name of Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), this console was a major breakthrough in the gaming industry specially changing the face of home gaming forever.
