The Color TV-Game (カラーテレビゲーム, Karā Terebi-Gēmu) series were the first home video game systems released by Nintendo. Each device contains a number of dedicated games, as none of the consoles used programmable media.

Development

The first three systems were developed jointly by Nintendo and Mitsubishi Electronics, and manufactured by Mitsubishi. 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.
