The Color TV-Game 15 (テレビゲーム15, Terebigēmu15) was one of the consoles of the Color TV-Game line, acting as one of Nintendo's first forays into the video game industry. Released in 1977, the console currently acts as the oldest entity in the Super Smash Bros. series, being three years older than Mr. Game & Watch and Pac-Man's debuts in 1980 and 2 years older than Sheriff.

As an Assist Trophy

The Color TV-Game 15 made its Smash Bros. debut as an assist trophy in the fourth game of the series. Upon being summoned, two paddles from the game appear on-screen, playing a game of Pong by themselves, with the score appearing above each paddle. While it has been confirmed that the ball that is hit between the two paddles can damage players, it is not known if the paddles themselves have any effect on gameplay.

Origin

The Color TV-Game line of consoles was a series of consoles produced by Nintendo in the late 1970s, with all consoles only being released in Japan. The Color TV-Game series was among the numerous Pong clones produced after the production of Pong by Nolan Bushnell's Atari in 1972. The Color TV-Game 15 was the second iteration of the console, featuring fifteen game variants over the six offered by its predecessor. The paddles move in linear paths with the same, consistent speed, in homage to how the original game was controlled by using microswitches.

Trivia

  • Color TV-Game 15 and Sheriff are the only characters to have made their first appearance in the 1970's.
