1. Super Nintendo
   Super Nintendo had the groove on with Nintendo 64 during her college years. She started dating him for a while until their wedding. Once they got married, they moved into a house in Texas and started working in nearby Gas Stations.
2. Nintendo Entertainment System -- Nintendo Nes
   The Nintendo Entertainment System (often referred to as the NES or simply Nintendo) is an 8-bit video game console released by Nintendo in North America, Brazil, Europe, and Australia in 1985. In most of Asia, including Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Singapore, it was released as the Family Computer (ファミリーコンピュータ, Famirī Konpyūta) or simply, the Famicom (ファミコン, Famikon). In South Korea, the hardware was licensed to Hyundai Electronics, which marketed it as the Comboy (컴보이).[5]
3. Nintendo Entertainment System -- Nintendo Famicom
   Ironically (if you're familiar with the Nintendo 64), Nintendo promised a disk drive add-on for the NES in time for Christmas 1986. It was never released in the States. The Famicom version of the drive did come out in Japan, but it never gained much of a following.
4. Nintendo Entertainment System -- Super Nintendo Entertainment System
   The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) (Known as the Famicom in Japan) was Nintendo's first home game console released in North America. At the time it was released, the video game market was in a slump and retailers did not want to carry games anymore. bundled with R.O.B. (Robotic Operating Buddy), stores were convinced it was more of an electric toy rather than a video game. What people predicted would fail and be completely forgotten by the end of the year went on to sell more than 60 million units in it's lifespan, and offered fun new game styles such as platformers and many others. And who could forget such classic titles such as the original Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, and Duck Hunt?
5. Super Nintendo -- Super Nintendo Entertainment System
   The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (often shortened to SNES or Super NES) is a 16-bit video game console created by Nintendo. It was called the Super Famicom in Japan, and the Super Comboy in South Korea. The console can display 2D graphics. Super NES games are loaded from a cartridge. Nintendo asked Sony to create a peripheral CD-ROM reader for the Super NES, but the project, named "Play station", was abandoned and Sony decided to create their own video game console, and they named it the PlayStation.
6. Nintendo Entertainment System
   The Nintendo Entertainment System was a game changer. It was released despite the video game market crash of 1983 and was extremely successful. Atari blew its chance to distribute the system and the NES went on to become the best selling video game console of all time (at the time). The Nintendo is ... the birth place of many of Nintendo's stellar franchises: Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. The NES has also had one of the longest lifespan's of any system. In fact, Nintendo of Japan still repaired Nintendo's up through 2003 when parts became too scarce.
7. Pilotwings 64 -- Nintendo 64
   Nintendo 64 is the culmination of work by Nintendo, Silicon Graphics, and MIPS Technologies. The SGI-based system design that ended up in the Nintendo 64 was originally offered to Tom Kalinske, then CEO of Sega of America by James H. Clark, founder of Silicon Graphics. SGI had recently bought out MIPS Technologies and the two companies had worked together to create a low-cost CPU/3D GPU combo that they thought would be ideal for the console market. A hardware team from Sega of Japan was sent to evaluate the chip's capabilities and they found some faults which MIPS subsequently solved. However, Sega of Japan ultimately decided against SGI's design, apparently in part due to internal problems between Sega of Japan and Sega of America.[2]
8. Sony Psp -- Nintendo Ds
   In comparison to the Nintendo DS, the Sony PSP excels in almost every way. The construction is substantially better, where the DS feels cheap; the PSP is more sturdy and firm. It doesn't even seem fair to mention display, the DS does offer a gimmicky second screen, but the PSP is so much more bright and huge, you could put three screens in the DS and it wouldn't matter. The PSP ... brought as many games to launch as the DS has after several months on the market. The only real advantage the DS has is price and availability, along with their chat application that might be a nice to have if you are in a group of mobile gamers. All in all though, the PSP puts the DS to shame in quality, display and functionality.
9. Hiroshi Yamauchi -- Nintendo Ds
   In 1970, Hiroshi Yamauchi was observing a hanafuda factory. He noticed an extending arm, which was made by one of their maintenance engineers, Gunpei Yokoi, for his own amusement. Yamauchi ordered Yokoi to develop it as a proper product for the Christmas rush. Released as "The Ultra Hand", it would become one of Nintendo's earliest toy blockbusters, selling over a million units. Seeing that Yokoi had promise, Hiroshi Yamauchi pulled him off assembly line work. Yokoi was soon moved from maintenance duty to product development.
10. Nintendo 64 Roms -- Games
    Nintendo 64 ROMs are N64 Cartridge data that has been dumped via a special device that hooks up an N64 game to your computer. ROM stands for (Read Only Memory) which is exactly what it was before it was dumped off of the cartridge. When you browse the web for ROMs, they will be nothing more than what appears to be a blank file by windows. The difference with N64 ROMS is that they can come in many different file extensions: .n64, .z64, .u64, .rom, .v64, .usa, .pal, .j64, etc.. there may be more. So, Super Mario 64 could look like: Mario.n64, Mario.u64, Mario.v64, or basically anything above and possibly more.
