With the introduction in 1985 of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the Nintendo company almost single-handedly revitalized the video game industry. Selling over 60 million units, people brought games like Mario and Zelda into their homes for the first time on the NES. Through the subsequent decades, Nintendo has maintained its worldwide popularity by continuing to release cutting-edge video games, gaming consoles, and portable gaming systems, affirming its status as an industry leader.
