The Color TV-Game (カラーテレビゲーム, Karā Terebi-Gēmu) series included four systems which were the first video game consoles released by Nintendo.
Each device contains one or more dedicated games. As part of the first generation of video game consoles, none of the five systems use programmable media.
The Color TV-Game consoles were succeeded by the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Development
The first three systems were developed jointly by Nintendo and Mitsubishi Electric, and manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric. The final two releases were based on Nintendo arcade games, and were developed and manufactured by Nintendo.
Shigeru Miyamoto, who would later rise to fame as the creator of Mario and various other Nintendo properties, designed the case for the Color TV-Game Block Breaker.
