The Famicom was first released in [[Japan]] in 1983, while the NES was first test-marketed in 1985 in [[New York]] City. After selling the entire batch in New York, the NES was released nationwide in the [[United States]] and in [[Canada]] in 1986. Later, it also saw [[British]]/[[Europe|European]] (1987), [[Australia]]n (1987), and [[Korea]]n (1989) releases. The Famicom and NES were later redesigned with similar cases and modifications. Specifically, the Famicom was made A/V only (the original Famicom was RF only), while the NES was, ironically, made RF only (the only version to have both was the original NES). | The Famicom was first released in [[Japan]] in 1983, while the NES was first test-marketed in 1985 in [[New York]] City.
