[[File:Nes.png|thumb|250px|The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)]]The '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System Nintendo Entertainment System]''' (NES) is an 8-bit, third-generation console released in 1983 in Japan, where it was known as the '''Family Computer''' or '''Famicom'''.
The Famicom Family Computer Disk System (FDS) is a Japan-only add-on which played games from a special Nintendo-only magnetic disk format strongly reminiscent of floppy disks of the time.
Emulation for the NES is robust, with several high quality emulators for various systems.
Separate from the built-in microphone, Bandai made ''[[Wikipedia:Karaoke Studio|Karaoke Studio]]'', which is a special game cartridge that has a microphone attached to it. It is unknown if any emulator supports this.
===Famicom Family Computer Disk System===
A Japan-only peripheral using a magnetic disk format instead of cartridges, with its own unique game library. Some of these were later ported to the regular NES/Famicom cartridge format with significant downgrades (particularly the loss of enhanced FDS hardware audio). This accessory made it possible to save game data without needing battery-backed ROM, but only for the game contained on each of the disks.
