This page aims to be an exhaustive catalogue of Nintendo-produced (and officially licensed) home-console hardware and accessories released from the Family Computer’s debut in 1983 up through the end of the GameCube era in 2007.
Hand-held systems, cables, and purely software test media are intentionally out of scope.
