Today, in honor of Nintendo's 121st birthday, and as an homage to their 8-bit NES console that shaped the gaming industry, Michael Bleigh has designed and released a commemorative 8-bit version of our website. Many of our developers at Intridea grew up playing video games in the 80's and 90's and recall the hundreds of hours they spent playing Nintendo games with great fondness.

In 1985, Nintendo released the Nintendo Entertainment System, known simply as the NES, and breathed life back into the recently dismantled video game industry in North America. The video game "crash" of 1983, in which the world discovered the mediocrity of the console game development industry, both soured and ripened the soil, ensuring Nintendo's fated success.
