Famicom
8-bit gaming system
Famicom is the original Japanese name for Nintendo's 8-bit home video game console, released in 1983.
Short for Family Computer, it launched the modern console gaming era and introduced franchises like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.
Outside Japan, the system was redesigned and marketed as the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
Retro gaming enthusiasts often use Famicom to distinguish Japanese hardware and game cartridges from their Western counterparts.
