Aínda que o xogo foi producido sen o permiso nin o soporte de Nintendo, Atari tomou isto coma un sinal de que Nintendo estaba tratando cun dos seus maiores competidores.</ref>, e Atari decidiu en centrarse na súa propia consola de nova xeración de 8 bits, a [[Atari 7800]].<ref>{{Cite web | title=The History of the Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom | work=Nintendo Land | url=http://www.nintendoland.com/home2.htm?nes/history.htm | format=http | accessdate=February 12 | accessyear=2006}}</ref>
 
Subsequent plans to market a Famicom console in North America featuring a keyboard, cassette data recorder, wireless joystick controller, and a special [[BASIC programming language|BASIC]] cartridge under the name "Nintendo Advanced Video System" likewise fell through. Finally, in June 1985 Nintendo unveiled its American version of the Famicom at the [[Consumer Electronics Show]] (CES). With a completely redesigned case and a new name, the Nintendo Entertainment System proved to be just as popular in America as the Famicom was in Japan, and played a major role in revitalizing interest in the video game industry. Originally Nintendo only released 50,000 units in New York City, and because of its great success it was released nationwide. Nintendo rolled out its first systems to limited American markets on October 18, 1985, following up with a nationwide release of the console in February of the following year.<ref>{{Cite book | first = Van | last = Burnham | year = 2001 | title = Supercade: A Visual History of the Videogame Age, 1971–1984 | pages = p. 375 | publisher = MIT Press | location = Cambridge, Massachusetts | id = ISBN 0-26-252420-1 }}</ref> The console was released in two different packages: a full-featured $249 USD "Deluxe Set" which came packaged with the [[R.O.B.]], the NES Zapper, two game controllers, and two games (''[[Duck Hunt]]'', and ''Gyromite''), and a scaled-down $199 "Action Set," which omitted the R.O.B. and ''Gyromite'' and included a ''Super Mario Bros.''/''Duck Hunt'' [[multicart]].<ref name="liedholm1">{{Cite web | author=Liedholm, Marcus and Mattias | title=History of the Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom | work=Nintendo Land | url=http://www.nintendoland.com/home2.htm?nes/history.htm | format=http | accessdate=February 12 | accessyear=2006}}</ref>
 
For the rest of the decade, Nintendo was the undisputed master of the American and Japanese gaming markets, and its game titles were breaking sales records. However, the console did not attain the same level of success in the rest of the western world. In Europe and Australia, the system was released to two separate marketing regions (A and B). Mattel handled distribution for region A, which consisted of the United Kingdom, Australia, and Italy. Distribution in region B, consisting of the rest of mainland Europe, was handled by a number of different companies, with Nintendo responsible for most cartridge releases. Not until 1990 did Nintendo's newly created European branch take over distribution throughout Europe.<ref name="europe">{{Cite web | title=European information | format=http | work=[http://nindb.classicgaming.gamespy.com/ Nintendo Database] | url=http://nindb.classicgaming.gamespy.com/nes/nes_eu.shtml | accessdate=May 4 | accessyear=2006}}</ref> This enabled competitor Sega to outperform the NES with its Sega Master System in many countries.
