| | These games were refered to as "new games." The price of a disk was set at around with the game was considerbly less than the regular cart, so the games kept selling simply because of price. | | | The disks were also re-useable, so if the kid decided he didn't like the game he could go buy another and put it on that disk. | | | Famicom games good or bad were selling like mad, and alot more people owned Famicoms than the disk system. |

| | Nintendo Famicom Disk System Console Information |
| | Nintendo's answer to this was to release an add-on for the Famicom that would allow disk-based games to be played on the system. | | | At this time, most of the current Famicom ROM cartridge games were very basic - simple arcade ports and one-screen games - due to the small capacity of cartridges of that time. | | | Pirates, especially in Hong Kong and Taiwan, worked out ways to illegally port cartridge games cheaply and easily onto blank disks. |

| | Disk Writers were available in toy and department stores all across Japan, and getting a new game written was as simple as waiting a couple of minutes. | | | Video games are dead in the US, and the Famicom boom is taking hold of Japan's populace. | | | However, the games are still stuck in the classic-era timeset; ROM cart manufacturing is expensive and even the most simple games retail for over 5000 yen, bringing them beyond the reach of most children's allowances. |

| | Well by some ironic machination of fate, it just so happened that the NES didn't piss people off with piss poor arcade translations or overhashed maze games, it actually had games that were cool, it had games with some depth, replayability, and graphics as good as the home computers, an it's games were fun. | | | Sad thing is that as time goes on the game data on the disks will eventually fade and corrupt, leaving the pirate cart versions of such games the only ones available. | | | Aesthetically I think the OG Famicom looks cooler, plus it has tons of games and accessories that were never released elsewhere. |
