The Famicom Encyclopedia
A Japanese research archive examining Famicom and Famicom Disk System games one title at a time.
Field notes
The archive treats each Famicom or Disk System release as a research subject rather than merely a game listing. Visible entries pair release year and publisher with an editorial hook: Donkey Kong’s pre-plumber Mario, Mahjong’s unexpected sales success, or a Sky Destroyer puzzle described as unsolved for 37 years. The homepage reports 59 of 1,053 titles collected and points readers toward chronological indexes, cheat-code summaries, character material, and ongoing YouTube, TikTok, and X updates.
