-The '''Nintendo Entertainment System''' (known as the '''NES''' for short) is a video game console created by [[Nintendo]]. It is the western version of the [[Famicom]] and has controllers that can be removed (unlike the Famicom). Games are inserted by opening a door and sliding the game in, then pushing a panel down.
+The '''Nintendo Entertainment System''' (known as the '''NES''' for short) is a video game console created by [[Nintendo]]. It is the overseas counterpart of the [[Family Computer]] and has controllers that can be removed (unlike the Famicom). Games are inserted by opening a door and sliding the game in, then pushing a panel down.
 It was the system that revived the video game industry after the [[wikipedia:Video game crash of 1983|video game crash of 1983]]. It rivaled against the [[wikipedia:Sega Master System|Sega Master System]] until the release of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] ushered in the next generation of video game consoles. The NES sold 61.91 million units worldwide during its lifetime and was discontinued in 1995.<ref>http://www.webcitation.org/5nXieXX2B</ref>
-The Nintendo Entertainment System was bundled with ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', resulting in it being the console's most successful game. For decades, ''Super Mario Bros.'' was the highest-selling video game ever, with 40.23 million copies sold, until Nintendo packaged ''Wii Sports'' with the [[Wii]]. Eventually, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' was released in the USA, and it became an instant hit, making five hundred million dollars in less than twenty-four hours. It soon became the second most purchased game in the gaming world with over 18 million copies sold.

 The NES Controller has the {{button|nes|A}} and {{button|nes|B}} Buttons along with the {{button|nes|start}} and {{button|nes|select}} buttons and the {{button|nes|Pad}}. The scheme of the NES controller is the base for all of the newer controllers: the {{button|nes|pad}} on the left, buttons in the right, and the {{button|nes|start}} and {{button|nes|select}} buttons in the middle.
-Due to the lack of security, many NES games have become pirated, creating games such as 999-in-1, but due to better security, these games have seemingly slowed down.
 In America, the NES was sold in three packages:
