History
The idea for their own television network began in 1988, when they founded their division dedicated to operating television channels, when they discussed launching a TV channel after the foundation, and it was not approved until November 1988. The first promotions were launched in March 1989, revealing the launch year in January 1990, but if the launch was delayed until March 1990, the series premiered on outside networks such as CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX and other channels, and when the launch was channel, the previously released series would be moved to the newborn channel. It was finally launched in March 1990, the channel offered programming aimed at teenagers and young adults, during this time the network kept the rights of the series before the launch of the channel, but the networks that transmitted it still had the retransmissions of the episodes premiered on said television networks. His main shows during the 1990s were A Family from the Space, Bertram and Kirby the Adventure. Always had Good, Regular, More or less and also bad series (like any television channel) but the ones that abounded were Good, Regular and More or less, although there were also Good ones. During the 2000s, acceptable and good series were released, mostly animated, that was enough for the audience to give it the nickname "THE ANIMATION CHANNEL NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILY FRIENDLY" since, as is customary in Nintendo Studios, the series They were aimed at a teenage and young adult audience, some creators who worked faithfully with the channel and Nintendo Studios (except for a few occasions) They were Patrick Sawyer, Tom Marway, Tom Coleman, Hanna P. Jordan, Mark O'leary, William R. Mayers, etc. By the beginning of January 2010, the channel changed its aspect ratio to 16:9, this included broadcast programs, bumpers and IDs, the only thing that did not change was the Screen bug, which was still in a 4:3 position until 2014

Programming
All its original programming is produced by its sister production companies, so there is no series in which it has not been produced by another production company, but that does not mean that it is impossible or that it is not possible, since like its sister network Nincrafter, it may be that some studio outside of Nintendo Studios proposes an idea to the channel.

Reception
Nintendo TV since its inception has encouraged positive reviews, due to its revolutionary approach (especially in animation) for the time, as it showed that animation is not only for children, and also for some sitcoms, although there have been associations that have tried to force the network to change its content, so that it is suitable for the family and not only for adults and teenagers, but Nintendo TV has always opposed this, because if a channel does with a goal, that will always be its goal.
