Also preceded by the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, Gamecube and PS2 (technically) and Dreamcast (IIRC).

I believe the NES even had some online functionality, at least in Japan. It wouldn't have been much like the services available today, but the famicom could be connected to a phone line to play multiplayer games.
There was some form of online service for the 64DD too, but as no one bought that, I'm not sure there are many details.
