The Last Town In America

The last official release for the iconic Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES, was Wario’s Woods, which hit the North American market on December 10, 1994. This was not only years after the release of the NES’s successor, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but precisely a week after the Japanese release of the Sony PlayStation, which hit Japanese stores on December 3, 1994. Wario’s Woods was released before the PlayStation in Japan, but it’s quite remarkable that an official NES game came out two video-game console generations later. (A Europe-only NES Lion King video game even came out in 1995!)
