Original Price of a Nintendo in 1985
In 1985, grabbing a brand-new Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) would set you back about $199.99. This might not seem like a lot today, but back then, it was a pretty penny for endless hours of fun.
This price included not just the console itself, but also a pair of controllers, the Super Mario Bros. game cartridge, and sometimes even the Zapper light gun for games like Duck Hunt. Considering the bundle, it was quite the deal!
