Nintendo introduced the NES in Japan on July 15, 1983.
It was released on 1990
1983 in Japan, 1985 in North America, 1986 in Europe, and 1987 in Australia.
There is not a alternative for the epic-ness that is the NES. :)
It depends on what model of Ds you buy if you by the lite it is $129 if you buy the regular Dsi then it is $169 but if you want the newest version then it is $189. The wii black or white is about $200
