NES Theatre is a collection of cutscenes and cinema displays from various NES games, arranged in chronological order on video.
Animated graphical scenes with text was used during the NES era to tell the story of some games. It was considered a fairly sophisticated feature at the time and showcased some of the finest visuals anyone had previously seen in console gaming. Although theses in-game movies were very simple, it was an important first step in blurring the lines between video games and cinema.
Now you can watch these ground-breaking story scenes. We bring you all the action in between the interaction!

WARNING: Watching these cutscenes may lessen the enjoyment of actually playing through the game. However, if you are already familiar with the games and just want to sit back, relax, and relive the drama, then this section is for you!
