Fun Fact #54 - Do you have a copy of Tetris for your NES? If so, you might want to dig it out and check which version you have stashed away. The Tengen copy (Tengen being Atari's publishing arm) is thought to be in limited quantity—with only around 100,000 copies still in existence. The Tengen version preceded Nintendo's own version of Tetris, but was pulled off the shelves.
Fun Fact #53 - Video games have evolved to offer players almost any type of experience. Currently, there are over 30 different types of video games, including programming games like CodinGame, where players must use programming languages like C++ and Java to advance through the levels.
Fun Fact #52 - The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was the first video game controller to feature a directional pad, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) was the first controller to feature right- and left-shoulder buttons, and the Nintendo 64 (N64) popularized the analog thumbstick.
The company that developed the Wii motion technology offered it to Microsoft and Sony first (who both turned down the technology), and Nintendo ultimately introduced motion control to the masses!
Fun Fact #51 - You might have already known Super Mario Bros. was the first video game to be made into a movie. But did you know that an up-and-coming actor named Tom Hanks campaigned for the role of Mario? At the time, Nintendo execs worried he wouldn’t have enough box office clout to carry the film.
Fun Fact #50 - Remember the PlayStation 2 startup screen? Well, the seemingly random blocks and towers represent game progress—the more you play and save your games, the more blocks and towers appear. The towers represent the game, and the longer you play the taller they get. The blocks represent saved data. The design of the PS2 was modeled after the Atari Falcon Microbox. Sony bought the rights when Atari went bankrupt.
