The Famicom Disk System was released exclusively in Japan in February 21, 1986 as a peripheral for the Famicom console. The Famicom Disk System used Disk Cards (proprietary floppy disks), which, at the time, offered a rather high capacity compared to cartridges and allowed true saving.
A RAM adapter cartridge, included with the Disk System, contained the disk drive controller as well as extra RAM required for game operation. The Disk System itself included a FM synthesis chip that allowed for more realistic sound on Disk System games.
4.5 million units were sold in Japan, and though it was announced for the United States, Nintendo of America eventually decided against releasing it, though a port on the bottom of the NES exists that went unused, implying that it would have been used for a disk-based add-on similar to the Famicom Disk System. Diskun was the mascot for the hardware.
Like I said early on my back story on my take on Nintendo Famicom but this one also I found in NYC in 1988 I got this Famicom add on and a bunch of Disk games many from the origanl games from Nintendo but others are just hard 3rd party Disk Copy with off the shelf bootleg disks with some download games but ti this day I can still play them on my working:)
Im still trying to collect more of this Disk System's disk games and if anyone who lives in Japan let me know and I still wanted these and other Famicom games.
At launch there where 7 Disk System games and they are,
Baseball
Golf
Mahjong
Soccer
Super Mario Bros.
Tennis
The Legend of Zelda
