With the success of the Japanese video game console the Famicon Nintendo wanted to release an American version of the Famicon in the U.S. Nintendo started by broadcasting the system at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas where not a single system was sold, after the failure at the CES Nintendo decided to remarket the gaming system as an entertainment system and a toy by including with the system a little robot named R.O.B. Robot Operating Buddy and a zapper gun.

After the remarketing they try again to sell the N.E.S. at the 1984 CES and the reception was better but they realized they’d never be able to sell the system nationwide under their own name Nintendo decides to make a deal with the toy company Worlds Of Wonder maker of two popular toys at the time Teddy Ruxpin and Laser tag and gain access to Worlds of Wonder’s partners and toy stores around the country and begin producing the consoles to be shipped nationwide and shortly after gaining nationwide stores to sell the consoles the N.E.S. flies off the shelves for many years to come becoming one of the best selling systems of all time. About ten years after the debut of the N.E.S. production ceased of the N.E.S. and its games lasting ten years a very long lifespan of a video game console
