Comment on Vintage Consoles: Color TV-Game

Interesting! I didn’t know Nintendo released a home video game console before the NES. And it was quite successful too, from what I’m reading. Perhaps the reason for my lack of knowledge is the fact that the Color TV-Game consoles were released only in Japan.

Until I researched these I thought the Game and Watch came before the NES.
They only switched to video games because the oil crisis in the mid 70’s was making manufacturing plastic toys too expensive.
