The '''Nintendo Entertainment System''' (Japanese: '''ファミリーコンピュータ''' ''Family Computer'', or the '''ファミコン''' ''Famicom''), often abbreviated as the '''NES''', is the first gaming system that [[Nintendo]] developed. It is a third generation console, as well as a home console. The first {{se|Mother}} {{vg|Mother|game}} was released for it, thus meaning that the series' roots came from it. The Nintendo Entertainment System gained a successor in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Sales for the Nintendo Entertainment System were high, with games such as [[wikirby:Kirby's Adventure|Kirby's Adventure]], [[metroidwiki:Metroid (game)|the original Metroid]], and Ice Climbers being released on the system. The best selling of the console, though, were [[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]] and [[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]. Many games for the Nintendo Entertainment System eventually were released for the Wii's Virtual Console function, and a handful of others were Masterpieces in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
