On this day (June 19) in Nintendo history...
Parachute was released in 1981 for the Game & Watch Wide Screen in Japan. In this action game, developed by Nintendo R&D1, skydivers are parachuting over shark-infested waters. As a rower in a lifeboat, can you rescue all of the skydivers? Move the lifeboat left and right to catch the skydivers. You score 1 point for every skydiver you successfully rescue. The number of skydivers increases (up to 10) as play progresses. When a skydiver falls into the water, he is attacked by sharks and you get a miss.
NCAA Basketball (known in Europe as World League Basketball) was released in 1992 for the Super Famicom in Japan. In this traditional basketball simulation, developed by Sculptured Software with HAL America, the player chooses a basketball team and then plays against either a computer or human player on a court. The goal is to score the most baskets within the given time through dribbling and passing. Players also have the ability to save the game as well as change options and difficulty settings.
Luigi's Mansion Arcade was released in 2015 for the arcade in Japan. In this first-person rail shooter game, developed by Capcom, the gameplay is a cross between the traditional Luigi's Mansion-styled mechanics and the rail shooter mechanics of a Light Gun game. The player cannot choose where to go, as is instead led through the mansions to encounter groups of ghosts, with the places and enemies based on those featured in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. The controls involve a controller that is based on the Poltergust 5000.
