Famicom Modem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Famicom Modem (ファミコンネットシステム lit. Family Computer Network System) is a video game peripheral for Family Computer released only in Japan in 1988.[1] It allowed the user access to a server that provided game cheats, jokes, weather forecasts, and a small amount of downloadable content. It could also be used to make live stock trades. Unlike the NES Teleplay Modem, it did not provide online play. The idea of downloading content would later be used in the Super Nintendo's Satellaview, the Nintendo 64DD, the GameCube, the Game Boy Advance Cable, the Nintendo DS's DS Download Play, the Wii's WiiConnect24, the Nintendo DSi's DSi Shop, and the Nintendo 3DS' eShop.
