Additional Description

Abstract

This press kit was distributed by Nintendo of America at the 1985 Winter Consumer Electronics Show to promote their new home console, known at the time as the Nintendo Advanced Video System. This version of the console included a data recorder and keyboard, which are depicted in this press kit, along with photos of early key staff at Nintendo of America.

Arrangement

This folder is part of a larger accession of promotional material collected by Roger Sharpe. It will eventually be reorganized within a larger Roger Sharpe collection; we have made it accessible early due to the high interest in the material.
