1980

1980 is an important year in Nintendo's history. It's the year that Game & Watch first was released, debuting with Ball. It was also the year that Nintendo of America was established, and their first release; Radar Scope, failed horribly. This would eventually lead to the successful creation of Donkey Kong the following year.
