This is a list of licensed software releases for the [[Family Computer]] video game console. | |||
The Family Computer (or Famicom for short) initially released on July 13, 1983 in Japan. The console launched with arcade ports of [[Donkey Kong]], [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], and [[Popeye]]. Shortly after the console's debut, Nintendo would allow third parties to publish games for the console with [[Hudson Soft]] releasing [[Lode Runner]] and [[Nuts & Milk]] on July 20, 1984. This ushered in the Famicom boom era with dozens of third party publishers releasing software for the console. Famicom software would continue to sell well up until the release of the successor console, the [[Super Famicom]] on November 21, 1990 in Japan. Software sales for Famicom would diminish not long after. | |||
The final licensed software release for the console was [[Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Jima IV]] on June 24, 1994. A few months later the {{wp|Sega Saturn}} and {{wp|PlayStation (console)|Sony PlayStation}} would release in Japan ushering in a new era of video games. Nintendo would discontinue support for the Family Computer, alongside the Super Famicom, on September 25, 2003 in Japan. | |||
With the success of the Family Computer, Nintendo would redesign and release the console outside of Japan as the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in North America nationwide on September 27, 1986. Despite that, there were many software releases that never left Japan. | |||

This is a list of licensed software releases for the Family Computer video game console.
The Family Computer (or Famicom for short) initially released on July 13, 1983 in Japan. The console launched with arcade ports of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and Popeye. Shortly after the console's debut, Nintendo would allow third parties to publish games for the console with Hudson Soft releasing Lode Runner and Nuts & Milk on July 20, 1984. This ushered in the Famicom boom era with dozens of third party publishers releasing software for the console. Famicom software would continue to sell well up until the release of the successor console, the Super Famicom on November 21, 1990 in Japan. Software sales for Famicom would diminish not long after.
The final licensed software release for the console was Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Jima IV on June 24, 1994. A few months later the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation would release in Japan ushering in a new era of video games. Nintendo would discontinue support for the Family Computer, alongside the Super Famicom, on September 25, 2003 in Japan.
With the success of the Family Computer, Nintendo would redesign and release the console outside of Japan as the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America nationwide on September 27, 1986. Despite that, there were many software releases that never left Japan.
