Mario Bros is an arcade game, just like Donkey Kong, it was released in 1983, and then it was ported to different consoles, just like Donkey Kong... Nintendo released tons of games for the arcades, before releasing the FAMICOM...

Super Mario Bros is a FAMICOM title that came in 1985, and since that year the NES was launching here, they made this one a NES launch title, i remember that all my friends and i said "Another Atari from Japan??? Naaahhhhh" then we saw this game and it was madness, all of us doing extra work to buy the console (Most of our parents were so skeptical because of the crash that they were only buying it if it was really cheap for them, so we had to match the difference), saving lunch money, at the end, all of us had a NES (and i got a FAMICOM a year later because an asian friend had really strong J-connections, after that i sold my NES and bought an adapter to play the NES-only games)...
