This day in video game history: On October 18, 1985, the #Nintendo Entertainment System launched in North America! The #NES first appeared in New York in a test market and then went wide the following year.

Let us know if you're celebrating the NES' 40th anniversary with an #ExtraLife stream!

It's less than a month until #ExtraLife Game Day 2025 on November 8! Here's an early tip if you'll be streaming. Make sure your game(s) and system(s) are patched and up to date a day or two before you go live. Maybe do a test stream too. Patchin' ain't playin'. #Windows10

When you fundraise for Extra Life, you're helping kids like Ava Clare! Albinism meant Ava Clarke's vision would always be a bit blurry. Thanks to @childrensofms' specialized equipment & @cmnhospitals' donations, her eyesight improved, & she's learned to love her unique features!
