The company played a key part in the licensing of Tetris in the United States, having manufactured the Game Boy and Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicom which hosted some of the most successful versions of Tetris in the United States. In 1988, the company was also involved in a legal battle with Atari regarding the console rights to Tetris (Atari of whom had already produced their own version for the NES).
