Many iconic franchises were born on this console, such as {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}, {{uv|Metroid}}, {{uv|Kid Icarus}}, {{uv|Dragon Quest}}, {{uv|Final Fantasy}}, {{uv|Mega Man}}, and {{uv|Castlevania}}. In 1986, Nintendo released the Famicom Disk System, which used writable disks to make new innovations like more processing power and save states. This accessory did not release outside of Japan, so games for the system had to find creative ways to make equivalent experiences for international audiences like passwords and Battery Pak save files.

In 1989, as the Game & Watch line was ramping down, Nintendo develop a successor that combined the design philosophes of that line and the NES, which they named Game Boy. The hardware of the system is very limited with less processing power than an NES and only four colors, though it greatly outpaced the competition due to its economical design, relatively long battery life, and prestige of Nintendo. Aside from popularizing franchises like {{uvm3|Tetris}} and [[Dr. Mario]], a few franchises started on Game Boy, like {{uv|Kirby}}, the {{uv|Wario}} sub-series and {{uv|Pokémon}}.

In 1990, Nintendo created a full successor to the Famicom, titled the Super Famicom, which was released in 1991 as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Alongside now-legacy franchises getting new installments, many franchises started on this system like {{uv|F-Zero}}, {{uv|Star Fox}}, the {{uv|Yoshi}} sub-series and many RPG franchises by the companies that now make up [[Square Enix]]. A few accessories were released for the system like the Super Game Boy and the Japan-exclusive Satelleview online distribution service. Despite the initial success, [[Sega]] with their Genesis system and the pack-in game {{uv|Sonic the Hedgehog}} briefly overtook Nintendo in market share, with some companies defecting from Nintendo due to the increasingly dated and draconic exclusivity clause. Nintendo did retake their dominance by the end of the generation, but their status as a monopoly was hit and they never fully recovered.
