One of the first TV commercials for the Nintendo Entertainment System, aired on WNBC-TV in New York City on December 3rd, 1985, during the made-for-TV movie "John and Yoko: A Love Story". An initial 100,000 NES units were being test marketed in New York City beginning on October 18th, 1985. The NES was not released nationwide in the U.S. until September 1986 -- after the Atari 7800 (nationwide release May 1986), and the same month as the Sega Master System.
