Nintendo index
Nintendo history runs from the early Color TV-Game systems to the Famicom, Game Boy, Nintendo DS and Switch, with cartridges, optical discs, game cards and changing ideas about where and how people play along the way.
Here you will find stories about Nintendo hardware, games, physical releases, collecting and the question of how older Nintendo systems and games can be preserved.
This page brings together the main routes into Nintendo hardware, games, collecting and background reading. The Color TV-Game page is a good starting point if you want to follow Nintendo back to its first home console.
Nintendo did not move through one simple line of systems. The Color TV-Game range, Famicom, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii and Switch each reflect a different mix of hardware, media format and play ideas.
Game & Watch, Game Boy, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS form a second Nintendo line beside the home consoles, while Switch brought handheld and television play back together in one system.
From Mario and Zelda to Metroid, Pokémon and smaller experiments, Nintendo platforms are tied to series that return across generations while constantly changing shape.
A Nintendo collection can include cardboard boxes, plastic cases, cartridges, discs, game cards, manuals, inserts and accessories that differ sharply by region.
Older Nintendo games sometimes return through rereleases, remasters or subscription services, but modern access is not automatically the same thing as preserving the original hardware, packaging, save data and play context.
These broader routes keep the main body of the page compact while still giving you clear entry points into related topics.
