任天堂エンターテインメントシステムには、日本版ファミリーコンピュータ(ファミコン)とその国際版であるNES向けにリリースされた公式ライセンスゲーム1376本[a]と、7本の公式マルチカートリッジ、2本のチャンピオンシップカートリッジのライブラリがあります。これらのうち、672本は日本でのみリリースされ、187本は北米でのみリリースされ、19本はPAL諸国でのみリリースされました。世界中では、521本のゲームがリリースされました。
ファミコン向けの発売当初のゲームはドンキーコング、ドンキーコングJr.、ポパイだった。北米向けの発売当初のゲームは、10ヤードファイト、ベースボール、クルクルランド、ダックハント、エキサイトバイク、ゴルフ、ジャイロマイト、ホーガンズアレイ、アイスクライマー、カンフー、ピンボール、サッカー、スタックアップ、スーパーマリオブラザーズ、テニス、ワイルドガンマン、レッキングクルーだった。[1] [2] [b]最後のライセンスゲームは、1995年5月25日にPAL限定で発売されたライオンキングである。
当時のゲーム機の典型であったように、ファミコンはゲーム配信の主な方法としてROMカートリッジを使用していた。 [3]高さ3インチ (7.6 cm)、幅5.3インチ (13 cm) の各カートリッジには60本のピンがあり、2本のピンは外部サウンドチップ用に予約されていた。[4] [5] 1985年に北米でNintendo Entertainment Systemとして発売された際、任天堂はゲーム機の前面から挿入するビデオカセットレコーダー由来のソケットに対応するためにカートリッジを再設計し、高さをほぼ2倍にし、幅を1センチメートル (0.39インチ) 増やした。[6] : 108 [7]「ゲームパック」と呼ばれる各NESカートリッジは合計72本のピンに増加し、2本のピンはCICロックアウトチップ用に、10本のピンはゲーム機の下部にある拡張ポートとの接続用に予約されていた。ただし、外部サウンド用の2本のピンは削除され、代わりに拡張ポートに移動された。[5] [6] : 367 NESカートリッジの余分なスペースはほとんどのゲームでは利用されませんでしたが、追加のハードウェア拡張を組み込むことができました。対照的に、Gyromiteのような初期のNESゲームの一部のコピーは、ゲームのファミコンバージョンのプリント回路基板と、異なるピン配置を変換するためのアダプターを組み合わせただけのものでした。 [6] : 108 [8]
任天堂は1986年に日本でファミコンディスクシステム(FDS)をリリースし、カートリッジのコストとサイズの制限を回避するために、開発者が将来のすべてのゲームを独自の2.8インチ(7.1cm)フロッピーディスクで配布することを意図していました。しかし、カートリッジ技術の進歩により再び実現可能になったため、開発者はFDSゲームをカートリッジで再リリースし始め、フロッピーディスクとそのエコシステムの制限が明らかになり、1990年代までにFDSのサポートが中止されました。[5]
