[[File:Family Computer Logo.png|left|250px]] The '''Family Computer''' (often shortened to '''Famicom''') is a third-generation video game console created by [[Nintendo]]. It was released in Japan on July 15, 1983; Taiwan in 1987; and Hong Kong in 1991. Because the latter region previously saw an official release of its {{wp|Western world|Western}} counterpart, the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] (or NES), the Hong Kongese release of the Famicom was marketed as a "second-generation" hardware revision, adding the ability to toggle between PAL 50 Hz and PAL 60 Hz output.<ref>{{cite|author=Akfamilyhome|date=April 1, 2020|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IToY_73pRHU|publisher=YouTube|title=A History of Nintendo's Hong Kong Releases|language=Cantonese & English (English subtitles available)|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20240525112253/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IToY_73pRHU|accessdate=June 5, 2024}}</ref> Nintendo additionally arranged a deal with the Russian technology company Steepler in 1994 to permit the sale of a clone console called the Dendy in the former Soviet Union in exchange for providing equal distribution for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]].<ref>{{cite|author=Игорь Пичугин|date=November 1, 1994|url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/94004|title=Соглашение Steepler и Nintendo|publisher=Газета "Коммерсантъ"|language=Russian|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20190427025842/https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/94004|accessdate=June 1, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Семён Костин|date=December 14, 2021|url=https://dtf.ru/games/970617-legenda-o-slone-kak-it-kompaniya-steepler-sozdala-dendy-i-osnovala-rossiiskii-konsolnyi-rynok|title=Легенда о слоне: как IT-компания Steepler создала Dendy и основала российский консольный рынок|publisher=DTF|language=Russian|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20240601223552/https://dtf.ru/games/970617-legenda-o-slone-kak-it-kompaniya-steepler-sozdala-dendy-i-osnovala-rossiiskii-konsolnyi-rynok|accessdate=June 1, 2024}}</ref> The console would be redesigned for the West as the Nintendo Entertainment System.

The '''Famicom''' ('''Fami'''ly '''Com'''puter) is the Japanese equivalent of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], or the NES. The name is a portmanteau of the "family" and "computer." The Famicom's controllers were attached to the main unit, unlike the NES, and could be stored on the sides of the system. Player One's controller can pause the game, and Player Two's controller has audio controls. The cartridges were half the size of the NES', and were inserted in the top instead of through a door in the front (like on the NES).  Instead of looking like a vertical cartridge, like the NES, it more closely resembles a SNES cartridge, but can be found in different colors, such as gray, yellow, and blue.
A few months after the July 1983 release of the Famicom, Sharp produced the {{wp|Nintendo Entertainment System models#Sharp Nintendo Television|Sharp C1 Famicom TV}}, a combined console and TV unit packaged with ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. + Jr. Sansū Lesson]]''. The following year, Sharp released the Playbox BASIC and [[Family BASIC]] accessories, allowing users to program in {{wp|BASIC}} on their Family Computers, and included characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as programmable sprites.


The console was released in 1983, but in February 1986 the [[Famicom Disk System]] was released as an accessory for the Famicom.  This accessory enabled games to be played on the Famicom in the form of a disk. Many newer games were released only on the F.D.S. that were never released on the NES or Famicom.
In February 1986, the [[Family Computer Disk System]] accessory was released, and it enabled games to be played on the Famicom in the form of a Disk Card. Many newer games that were never released on the Famicom or NES were released only on the Disk System, such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''.


== Trivia ==
In 1987, the {{wp|Famicom 3D System}} accessory was released, but like the future [[Virtual Boy]], it flopped. This is compatible with the Disk System game ''[[Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally]]''.
[[Image:TheGreatMissionMarioPlayer.png|thumb|left|Mario playing his Famicom.]]
 
*In ''[[The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach]]'', [[Mario]] himself (during his days at the [[Real World]] early in the movie) possessed a Famicom, which he played an unknown game on. [[Peach]] and [[Bowser]] also managed to teleport through the television he played this system on, although they did not appear to have any role at all in the game.

[[Category: Video Game Systems]]
The Famicom Controller is the basic controller that is hard-wired into the Family Computer. Controller 1 has four buttons and a directional pad on a round-shaped case. {{button|nes|A}} and {{button|nes|B}} are stationed on the right, the {{button|nes|start}} and {{button|nes|select}} is in the middle, and the D-pad is on the left of the controller. Controller 2 has two buttons with {{button|nes|start}} and {{button|nes|select}} being replaced with a volume slider and microphone. Nintendo later released a different form of the Famicom, the New Famicom (also known as the AV Famicom), which used a "dog-bone" design similar to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System#SNES Controller|Super Famicom controller]]. This design combines elements of the [[Game Boy]] and [[Super Famicom]] controller. Unlike the original Famicom controller, the New Famicom controllers used the same controller plugs as the ones found on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]].
===Family BASIC Data Recorder===
[[File:FamilyBASICDataRecorder.png|thumb|150px|The Family BASIC Data Recorder along with a cassette tape and cables]]
The Family BASIC Data Recorder is a cassette tape deck released alongside ''[[Family BASIC]]'' in 1984. It can be powered by 4 AA batteries or a 6 volt power adapter. The Data Recorder features two 3.5mm mono data ports that you plug into the Famicom Keyboard's "write" and "save" ports. In ''Family BASIC'', the Data Recorder is used to save and load programs. Several games used the Data Recorder including the Famicom game ''[[Wrecking Crew]]''. When the game was later released for the [[Family Computer Disk System|Disk System]], it saved data onto the Disk Card.
===Famicom 3D System===
[[File:Famicom 3D System.png|thumb|200px|The Famicom 3D System with its adapter next to it]]
The '''Famicom 3D System''' is an accessory for the Famicom that connects to the system via an adapter that plugs into the expansion port. A version of the Famicom 3D System was also distributed by {{wp|SHARP}} for the {{wp|Twin Famicom}}. The Famicom 3D System was compatible with a select few games including a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game for the [[Family Computer Disk System]], ''[[Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally]]''. The 3D System was a commercial failure and was never released outside of Japan.<ref>{{cite|author=Plunkett, Luke|date=April 30, 2010|url=kotaku.com/nintendos-first-3d-technology-shot-a-spaceship-at-mario-5527760|language=en|title=Nintendo's First 3D Technology Shot A Spaceship At Mario's Face|publisher=Kotaku|accessdate=November 28, 2024}}</ref>

*In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', 9-Volt owns a Famicom system which can be seen in the upper-left corner of the screen during his introduction cutscene.
*In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', during [[Princess Peach]]'s Interlude after Chapter 5, [[TEC]] asks Peach to drink an invisibility potion in order to secretly enter [[Grodus]]'s chamber and upload important data on a disk into the room's computer. When this happens, the computer screen shows the Famicom Disk System boot-up sequence.
*In the Japanese version of ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', the microgame [[Super Nostalgic Entertainment System]] uses a Family Computer instead. The Famicom controller also appears as a sound effect icon in the [[Sound Studio]].
*In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', a Famicom can be seen on a shelf in one of [[Francis]]' rooms in his [[Fort Francis|fort]], among other Nintendo systems.
*In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', a green Family Computer cartridge makes up the bottom screen of the title screen. Also, the designs and colors of the cartridges in this game are based on those of the Famicom.

The logo for the Family Computer

The Family Computer (often shortened to Famicom) is a third-generation video game console created by Nintendo. It was released in Japan on July 15, 1983; Taiwan in 1987; and Hong Kong in 1991. Because the latter region previously saw an official release of its Western counterpart, the Nintendo Entertainment System (or NES), the Hong Kongese release of the Famicom was marketed as a "second-generation" hardware revision, adding the ability to toggle between PAL 50 Hz and PAL 60 Hz output.[2] Nintendo additionally arranged a deal with the Russian technology company Steepler in 1994 to permit the sale of a clone console called the Dendy in the former Soviet Union in exchange for providing equal distribution for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.[3][4] The console would be redesigned for the West as the Nintendo Entertainment System. The Family Computer's controllers were attached to the main unit and could be stored on the sides of the system. Player One's controller can pause the game, and Player Two's controller has audio controls. The cartridges were about half the size of NES Game Paks, and were inserted in the top of the console. Famicom cartridges more closely resembles an audio cassette rather than a video cassette for NES Game Paks, and Famicom cartridges can be found in different colors, such as red, yellow, and blue. By the release of Super Mario Bros., Nintendo had already sold over four million units.[5] The redesigned New Famicom (often called the AV Famicom) would release in Japan on December 1, 1993. The Famicom sold 19.35 million units in Japan and would be discontinued on September 25, 2003.[1]

A few months after the July 1983 release of the Famicom, Sharp produced the Sharp C1 Famicom TV, a combined console and TV unit packaged with Donkey Kong Jr. + Jr. Sansū Lesson. The following year, Sharp released the Playbox BASIC and Family BASIC accessories, allowing users to program in BASIC on their Family Computers, and included characters of the Super Mario franchise as programmable sprites.

In February 1986, the Family Computer Disk System accessory was released, and it enabled games to be played on the Famicom in the form of a Disk Card. Many newer games that were never released on the Famicom or NES were released only on the Disk System, such as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.

In 1987, the Famicom 3D System accessory was released, but like the future Virtual Boy, it flopped. This is compatible with the Disk System game Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally.

The Famicom Controller is the basic controller that is hard-wired into the Family Computer. Controller 1 has four buttons and a directional pad on a round-shaped case. A Button and B Button are stationed on the right, the Start Button and Select Button is in the middle, and the D-pad is on the left of the controller.

This design combines elements of the Game Boy and Super Famicom controller. Unlike the original Famicom controller, the New Famicom controllers used the same controller plugs as the ones found on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

The Famicom 3D System is an accessory for the Famicom that connects to the system via an adapter that plugs into the expansion port. A version of the Famicom 3D System was also distributed by SHARP for the Twin Famicom. The Famicom 3D System was compatible with a select few games including a Super Mario game for the Family Computer Disk System, Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally. The 3D System was a commercial failure and was never released outside of Japan.[6]
