The European NES was first released in 1 September 1986. Which is first stores in Germany sell this? Newspaper ad, magazine ad, store ad, or tv commercial exist? I can't find on internet and i don't know German langauge!

(It probarly moves to "Oldies Questions" page.)

That's an interesting question. Nintendo Europe didn't exist until 1990 I think... here in the UK, until that year, Mattel released the NES - and we didn't get the machine until 1988 (...yeah I had to wiki that!), but there's little info as to who, and to which stores, released it in the earlier mainland Europe launch. Videogames simply weren't that big a thing back then, and neither was the razzmatazz, etc, of console launches.. good luck finding out about it though!

Another question: Which is Launch Titles of NES in the United Kingdom in 1987 (the debut year of NES in UK)?

Hello.:)

In Europe/Austria was FIRMA STADLBAUER the FIRST who was interested in Nintendo stuff (in the early seventies)
And since 1979 the ONLY Nintendo general importer.:)
Until Nintendo settled down in Europe.

It only launched in 1988 in the UK, and again I don't know what it launched with!
Easy enough to find the US launch of course, but as there was a Nintendo of America it's not hard to see why that info is easier to find.

So again, no idea sorry...

Maybe the MEDIA MARKT was a potential seller.It holds about 10 Markets in Germany in 1985.
Also SATURN-HANSA (at the 80s NOT in the Meda-Saturn company,later in 1990 they was acquired by the Media Markt Holding group).
KARSTADT/KAUFHOF for what i remember sold as well electronics.:)

http://www.nesworld.com/files/swedish.doc the NES have a release list in Sweden on nesworld, but not British or German one.

The Swedish NES Release schedule is wrong because NES Gun.smoke was only released UK and EEC as Europe.
And these box back and games in Europe are English!
