Talk:Famicom Disk System

Photos of Famicom disk?

The only place I've seen an image of a Famicom Disk is in the game Pikmin 2. Could anyone add a photo of a real disk?

128K OF STORAGE SPACE

IS THAT 1 SIDE OR BOTH SIDES COMBINED? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.17.249 (talk) 09:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

SAVING

DID IT SAVE ON THE FLOPPY OR WAS THERE SOME KIND OF EARLY MEMORYCARD HARDDRIVE SYSTEM OR DID IT USE PASSWORDS? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.17.249 (talk) 09:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not shout. It's considered rude. Doshindude (talk) 17:15, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

128 kb

The article says that the disks were 128 kb in size and that that was a lot in 1986. But how much data could the cartridges contain in comparison? Eje211 (talk) 07:32, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Infobox

This article like any other system needs to have an infobox, plus list what the FDS's top-selling or #1 game is. I'm sure that it is perhaps The Legend of Zelda. --PJ Pete 20:15 December 8, 2008

Benefits?

Other than the ability to save games and download games at a kiosk, did the Disk System add any new capabilities to the NES? Usually, game add-ons usually allow for larger levels, more sprites, more colors, etc. --Navstar (talk) 19:40, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The Family Computer Disk System is a peripheral for Nintendo's Family Computer home video game console released in Japan in 1986. It allows users to play one of more than 200 games using proprietary floppy disks called "Disk Cards". Through the Disk System's entire production span, 1986 (1986)–2003 (2003), 4.44 million units were sold.Photograph: Evan Amos

Production Span or Device Life

This article claims that, "Through its entire production span, 1986–2003, 4.44 million units were sold." However, the article on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System says that "After only two years, the FDS was discontinued, although vending booths remained in place until 1993 and Nintendo continued to service drives, and to rewrite and offer replacement disks until 2003." These statements seem to contradict itself with the first statement implying it was being produced for 20 some odd years. In the second statement it was only produced for two.

Famicom Disk System in the USA

If the Famicom Disk System could be released in the USA, It would probably be renamed the Nintendo Entertainment System Disk Drive--73.93.54.201 (talk) 19:05, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
