Welcome to the Retroist Nintendo Entertainment System Podcast. Today, we’re revisiting the NES, the console that changed gaming. Before we get into its history, I want to share a quick story. As a kid, I watched a friend play on his NES, wishing I had one of my own. That moment sparked a passion for gaming that stayed with me.
Next, we’ll look at how Nintendo created the NES and how it helped revive the video game industry. We’ll also talk about its lasting impact, from classic games like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda to the way it shaped modern gaming.
Let’s power up and take a trip back to the golden age of gaming. Whether you grew up with the NES or are just discovering it, this episode is for you.
