Impressive Chart Visualizes More Than 700 NES Releases
Pop Chart Lab, a site devoted to the curation of interesting data in visually appealing chart forms, recently tackled the Nintendo Entertainment System.
The chart/poster, which you can see below, organizes the more than 700 NES games that were released between 1984 and 1993 in a visualized solar system set adrift in space. There are more than 100 graphics and illustrations highlighting some of the more notable games, and a color-coding system that dictates each game's genre.
You can head to the Pop Chart Lab website to get a better look at the poster, as well as purchase a 24" x 36" for $26. Every poster is numbered, and signed by the artists who created it.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
