What was the first game released on the nintendo

If you mean the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), its first games were released in Japan in 1983:

• Donkey Kong
• Donkey Kong Jr.
• Popeye

In North America, the NES launched in 1985 with games including Super Mario Bros., which is often remembered as its flagship launch title.

The first game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) — the console most people associate with "Nintendo" — was Donkey Kong in Japan on July 15, 1983, as a launch title for the Famicom. If you mean Nintendo's first ever video game, that was the arcade game EVR Race in 1975.

"The Nintendo" could mean a couple of things, so here's the breakdown:

If you mean the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System):

• In Japan (as the Famicom, July 1983), it launched with three ports of Nintendo arcade games: Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and Popeye.
• In North America (October 1985), the NES launched with 18 titles, including Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, and Excitebike.

If you mean Nintendo's first video game ever:

• EVR Race (1975), an arcade horse racing game, was Nintendo's first original video game.
• Their first home console games came with the Color TV-Game (1977), which played Pong-style "Light Tennis."
• Donkey Kong (1981) was their first major hit and introduced Mario.

Let me know if you meant a different Nintendo console (like the N64 or Switch) and I can give you its launch titles.

First Game on Nintendo

It depends on which system you mean:

• Famicom (Japan, 1983): The launch titles included Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and Popeye.
• NES (North America, 1985): Super Mario Bros. was the pack-in launch title.

If you're asking about the first Nintendo console ever (the Famicom), Donkey Kong is generally considered the first game released on it.

The first game released on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), known as the Famicom in Japan, was Donkey Kong. It was released in Japan on July 15, 1983, as one of the console's launch titles.

However, if you're referring to Nintendo's first-ever video game, that would be Donkey Kong (1981), an arcade game created by Shigeru Miyamoto. If you mean the first game Nintendo developed for home consoles, it was also Donkey Kong, which was later ported to the NES.

Let me know if you'd like more details!

If you mean the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in North America (October 1985), there wasn't a single "first" game — several titles launched together as part of the initial lineup. The flagship launch title was Super Mario Bros., alongside games like Duck Hunt, Excitebike, Kung Fu, and Gyromite.

A few other possibilities depending on what you meant:

• Famicom (Japan, 1983): Launched with ports of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and Popeye.
• Nintendo's first home console ever: The Color TV-Game 6 (1977, Japan only), which played built-in Pong-style games.
• Nintendo's first handheld: The Game & Watch "Ball" (1980).

If you were asking about a specific console or era, let me know and I can narrow it down.

If you mean the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES):

• In Japan (Famicom): The first game released was Donkey Kong on July 15, 1983.
• In North America: The NES launched in 1985 with several titles, including Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, and others, so there isn’t a single “first” game—Super Mario Bros. is often remembered as the iconic launch title.

If you mean Nintendo’s first console overall, that was the Color TV-Game (1977), which had built-in games rather than cartridges.

It depends on which region and console definition you mean:

1. First game on the Family Computer (Famicom) — Japan (July 15, 1983)
The console launched with three titles released simultaneously:

• Donkey Kong
• Donkey Kong Jr.
• Popeye

2. First game on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) — North America (October 18, 1985)
The console launched with 17 "Black Box" titles. There was no single "first" game; they hit shelves together. Notable launch titles included:

• Super Mario Bros. (often bundled with the console)
• Duck Hunt (often bundled)
• Excitebike
• Golf
• Tennis
• Baseball

Technical Note: If you mean the very first video game published by Nintendo (pre-NES/Famicom), it was Computer Othello (Arcade, 1978).
