The '''Nintendo Entertainment System''', also known as the '''NES''', is [[Nintendo]]'s first home console. It is known as the '''Famicom''', short for '''Family Computer''', in Japan and other parts of Asia (cartridges differ in appearance, and the controllers are attached to the system). Some of its games have been rereleased on the [[Virtual Console]]. Many series have started with this 8-bit system, and many future games have been inspired by the console. A huge improvement over the [[wikipedia:Atari 2600|Atari 2600]], the NES is responsible for ending the [[wikipedia:North American Video Game Crash of 1983|video game crash of 1983]]. Its successor is the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]].
