First generation of video game consoles
This was also the first involvement of Nintendo in video games. According to Martin Picard in the "International Journal of Computer Game Research": "in 1971, Nintendo had -- even before the marketing of the first home console in the United States -- an alliance with the American pioneer Magnavox to develop and produce optoelectronic guns for the Odyssey (released in 1972), since it was similar to what Nintendo was able to offer in the Japanese toy market in 1970s".
Nintendo DS
Multiple games were released alongside the DS during its North American launch on November 21, 2004. At launch there was one pack-in demo, in addition to the built-in PictoChat program: "Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt" (published by Nintendo and is a demo for "Metroid Prime Hunters", a game released in March 2006). At the time of the "Electric Blue" DS launch in June 2005, Nintendo bundled the system with "Super Mario 64 DS".
