Nintendo on Saturday marked 40 years since the Japanese game maker released its iconic Family Computer home video game console, known abroad as the Nintendo Entertainment System.
The console boomed in popularity thanks to hit games, such as the Super Mario series, many of which still retain a wide following among gaming fans.
