Last updated
Curious about where Nintendo’s journey into the world of gaming consoles began? You’re not alone. Many wonder about the first step Nintendo took in shaping the video game world.
Let’s dive into the history of Nintendo to uncover the first game console they released.
The Nintendo Color TV-Game
The first game console Nintendo introduced was the Nintendo Color TV-Game. Released in 1977, it was a home video game console series in Japan. Unlike today’s consoles that play a wide range of games, this console had a few built-in games, like Pong, and variations of it.
This console marked Nintendo’s entry into the video game industry, laying the groundwork for their future innovations and successes. Although not as versatile as modern consoles, the Color TV-Game series was a significant first step for Nintendo.
