The Famicom (Abbreviation of: Family Computer was the first ever console released by Nintendo. The console had two hard-wired controllers which could be stored in compartments on the sides of the unit for use with two player games. The system was released as the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America and Europe with several changes such as larger cartridges, detachable controllers and support for A/V cables. The Famicom was later re-released as the A/V Famicom to make up for this.
