In 1989 Nintendo had an animated TV show that ran for a few years:
Captain N: The Game Master is an American animated television series that aired from 1989 to 1993. In the U.S., the show aired as part of the Saturday morning cartoon lineup on NBC. The show incorporated elements from many of the most popular Nintendo games of the time. The show was cancelled along with several other cartoons once NBC started changing its format to make more time for news programs. Criticism from government and watchdog groups that NBC’s Saturday morning lineup consisted mostly of thinly veiled commercials aimed at children also may have played a role.
