Being the best-selling console of the ‘80s, the NES also upped the game for the competition with its high-resolution sprites as well as tiled backgrounds. Super Mario Bros. is the video game that defines the NES in all of its splendor, selling more than 40 million copies worldwide and sitting right after the all-time best-selling video game: Wii Sports.
