Activity at Nintendo's CES "Mega-Booth" There could be no question of the boom in video games once any CES attendee saw the activity in Nintendo's spacious CES booth. Most of the Nintendo "family" of third-party licensees shared space and added to the overall level of excitement, but Nintendo provided the direction, from examples of store merchandising displays to the chance to listen in as Nintendo's Game Counselors answered gamers' questions from the show floor. And although Nintendo was not showing a large quantity of new products, they certainly have some very special new releases planned for the second half of the year. In late summer or early fall, Nintendo plans to release a new configuration of their system, which will be known as the POWER SET (MSR $179.95). The set will include a control deck, two control pads, a Zapper light gun, a Power Pad and a Triple Game Pak containing SUPER MARIO BROS., DUCK HUNT, and WORLD CLASST (MEET. The Power Pad is a result of Nintendo's purchase and redesign of Bandai's Family Fun Fitness exercise/controller mat. We were told that Nintendo's Power Pad is compatible with the existing Bandai software for the Family Fun Fitness mat and that Nintendo's new Power Pad software can be used by anyone who already owns a Bandai mat. Nintendo plans to release two Game Paks for use with the Power Pad at the same time it makes the Power Set available. The titles are DANCE AEROBICS and SUPER TEAM GAMES ($42.95 each). https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/3f676170-eed0-431e-a38e-469771a23e46
*Stadium Events (Bandai for the Nintendo Entertainment System) Let's start with a game that surprises most people when they find out just HOW rare it is. Stadium Events was compatible with Bandai's Family Fun Fitness controller, an oddity that allows you to run in place and at the same time control your on-screen video-game counterpart. One year after its brief appearance in selected retail chains, Nintendo licensed the Family Fun Fitness technology from Bandai and released the controller as the Power Pad. The package included a revised version of Stadium Events under a new name, World Class Track Meet. The latter game is very common, but if you have an original U.S. Stadium Events cartridge, you're in the money. It's often cited as the "last game needed" for a hardcore Nintendo collector. https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/fe0c054d-3ea4-45b5-aa1b-4ea03f74cd6d

A New Opportunity for Japanese Video Game Collectors
 For collectors in Japan, and for enthusiasts around the world who focus on Japanese releases, this expansion creates a significant new grading opportunity. The Famicom, Nintendo’s original Japanese home console, is a prime example. Released in Japan in 1983 before the Nintendo Entertainment System arrived in the United States, the Famicom helped establish the cartridge-based home console era that would shape generations of players and collectors. The first three games for the Famicom — Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and Popeye — launched alongside the system’s debut in 1983. Some other early Famicom titles, which came out in Japan months or years before being introduced to the U.S. market with the NES, include: Mario Bros (1983) Duck Hunt (1984) Devil World (1984) Excitebike (1984) Mach Rider (1985)
